Diddums lovey.

I’m fine buddy , go find a exhaust to suck on

 

[blocka]

Hold up mate, those 2 finals games are vindication for anyone who doubted the Raiders. They did things they haven't done all year.

Yea I guess if you just look at the win/lose results

 

[catstorm]

Easy schedule haha? What?

Only played Melbourne once only played Canterbury once only played Brisbane once only played Cronulla once only played Penrith once.

Double ups were New Zealand Warrior, Manly Sea Eagles , Parramatta Eels, Gold Coast Titans , The Dolphins, Wests Tigers, Newcastle Knights and St George Illawarra Dragons. Only one of those made finals and they came 6th.

In comparison Melbourne had Parramatta Eels, Penrith Panthers, Manly Sea Eagles, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Cronulla Sharks, North Queensland Cowboys, Sydney Roosters, Brisbane Broncos.

That’s 4 teams that made finals as double ups.

So yes Canberra had an easy schedule and were exposed in finals. Accept it and move on to next year.

 

[mxlegend99]

yeah true, if we're so shit, it took the Broncos 94 minutes to beat us

You forgot Klein with his game managing penalties and set restarts.

Did you miss that the first half of the season they were on the road all around the world nearly the whole time without a bye and we’re still top of the comp?

If Penrith beat the Dogs tomorrow, that will be first time that 2 teams outside the top 4 have made the Prelims in how long?

2009
Bulldogs (2nd)
Asterisk (4th)
Broncos (6th)
Eels (8th)

Is he the ref tmrw ? Painful

Klein essentially cost the Raiders the grand final with his Kleinisms and the whole no send off/sin bin for nothing

I think it's problems for the Raiders next year tbh. Can see them missing the 8.

Fogarty didn't have a great finals series but he's a massive loss. I'd be surprised if Sanders is ever at his level but he's sure as shit not next year. Otherwise no real changes to the squad apart from Brailey in, he's decent quality plod.

 

[chrisD]

Shit is getting twisted in here. Sharks are still frauds. Raiders are just bigger frauds.

100% Nicho and the sharks will choke it up before season’s end.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Go f**k yaself, Ricky

Thanks buddy , I’m sure he’s concerned with your opinion

Is this a bit like everyone tipping Raiders to win the spoon this year?

 

[Quicksilver]

A good journo would bring this up in Ricky’s presser… fingers crossed.

I look forward to the Greenius' response

 

[Fangs]

Sharks @$2.76 against Melbourne. Get on it quick everyone.

Sigh …….

 

[Michael Matral]

If you’re a Sharks fan you’re a shit human being

If you're a Raiders fan..there's always next year..all time choke levels from the Lime Spiders..shame really..look decent during the year.

 

[Valheru]

Perhaps.

I cast my eye over their team and they've got threats all over the park. Great bench at full strength as well. Their backline covers Melbourne's with ease. Iro and Ramien will hurt the Storm.

And I'm happy for Hynes. Way too talented to be a bum his whole career. A win next week will be pretty big for him.

Sharks don't play expansive very often, they prefer through the middle and making it a grind which is why I think they suit the storm better.

Storm have more game breakers in that situation in Grant, Munster and Paps than the sharks do IMO

I was responding to someone so obviously he cared.
But thank you for the well wishes for next week, I’m not that confident to be honest.
