2025 R21 Sun - Canberra 44-18 Newcastle @ GIO

[skeepe]

Seems like a lot of teams this year find a way to keep games close when they should win easy. Raiders seem to be patchy but still end up winning by 20 anyway. I know cos I keep unsuccessfully backing them to not cover the spread.

I know every team says it but I really feel like they’re the fittest they’ve been in years, and we tend to blow out the score in the last 10-15 minutes because of it.

That will be important come the finals.

Obstructions back on the menu boys

We'll miss him as much as QLD did.

Honestly feel like a fool after defending him for a decade lol.

When Foz signed with the Eels we probably should have just nuked the joint and started again. At least he had the excuse of clearly being mentally unwell.

Yea teams dominating from the outset seems to be the exception this season. I'm not going through the results but wouldn't be surprised if the majority of points have been in the last 20-30.

I have a lot of love for Fogarty. It will feel weird not hating Manly out of principle but I really hope he gets you to the grand final next year.

which you’ll lose to us, but hey at least you’ll be there

WHERE THE F IS PATTIE, RICKY!?!

Without getting too far into it, the location is a massive part of it. The infrastructure around it f**king sucks. Case in point: if you were within 5km of the stadium an hour before kickoff last week, you didn’t get to your seat until nearly halftime.

That sounds like an excuse.. how would a new stadium fix that?

Ive been there about a dozen times and never had an issue. In fact one of the easier suburban grounds to get into. If youre physically able, just park in the suburbs to the east and walk a km or so through the bush. For a 2pm game that shouldn't be an issue.

There’s literally one bus to the stadium. If it was in the city centre it would be a lot f**king easier to get to.

Uhh, that is not comparatively easy lol.

You’re one of my favourite posters. Don’t make me hate you.

I was going to ask WTF that haircut is but then Waz said he's from the south coast

In terms of ugly players the Raiders are on Penrith levels.

Hiring a second bus would probably be a more cost effective solution.

I bet Martin has a Holden Clubsport v8

So sounds like you need a 2nd bus. Not a new stadium.

I've been saying this for minutes!

 

[mongoose]

fancy thinking the Raiders would lose just because they weren't ahead at half time, LU dont learn

Haha Horsbrough touched it on the way through but who cares about that ay
