2025 R26 Sat - Canberra 24-10 Wests Tigers @ GIO

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Benji couldn’t rotate in f**king earth orbit, actually thats where’s he’s been for 2 years.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Pretty piss poor from Fox League. Could have spent another 5 minutes on the occasion.

We all could have spent another 5 minutes on the occasion…

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Ok, well congrats raiders, now…bye.

 

[Seiffert Oval]

Congratulations to the the Team. Only conceded 4 games for the season. I know many say they had an easy run, but (unlike other years), they found a way to win game after game. Well done and the J.J. Giltinan Shield is the reward for that consistency.

Mal Meninga with the post-game

Obviously we won the minor premiership although obviously I haven't had anything to do with the club since obviously I have other things to do and obviously I want to obviously move on to coaching obviously

 

[JamesRustle]

Congrats. Weakest comp in living memory

2016 wasn't that long ago

 

[Chief_Chujo]

First time since 2012 a team other than storm/roosters/Panthers have won it. That's a crazy stat

 

[JamesRustle]

Congrats Raiders fans, most consistent team all year and thoroughly deserved MP!

One question though? Why was the J.J. Giltinan shield still wrapped in all that f*cken bubble wrap necessitating the Raiders staff to unpack the bloody thing and wheel it out on a trolley to the field? That’s pretty piss poor planning from the NRL.

Bubble wrap required as the Raiders have a history of being heavy handed with trophies.

Well done Raiders

Scoreline probably reflects the overall game, but I thought we were in it up to our eyeballs.
We were always gonna need a bit of luck going our way against the MP at home

congrats Raiders on a great season

We scrapped hard and then Bula was penalised for being near a raider who knocked on. That was it.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Proud of my team. Hopefully we rest a few next week.

No easy runs mate. half those teams are only out of the 8 because we beat them into oblivion. I don't think there's a team in the entire comp with a better record vs the top 8 / top4 and even some of our early wins were against last seasons "presumed" top 4 like the Wahs and Broncs when they had all the early season hype.

Yeah weird penalty. But it means you\re incredibly fragile if a penalty down the far end ends your entire game.

And you think that was the only one ?

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

I thought Pole knocking the ball on in a try scoring situation ruined our chances tbh, would have made it 18-16 and anyone’s game still

Jamal Fogarty talking to the ABC after the game. Asked about Ricky resting players next week. I paraphrase -- Hope not, we've had 3 byes in the last 10 weeks. No need for that shit. Rather just keep winning.

He went up big levels in my esteem.
