    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We put the cue in the rack at 28-16. That was such a poor last 15-20 minutes from us. We did all the hard work to fight back and go past them, and then we fell in a heap. Raiders have all the momentum.

    The Fitzy was so bad. We absolutely had to get the ball down the other end, we just had to. It was the one thing we couldn't afford and he did it.

    We did drop out intensity (again) after our last try. We just weren't that switched on, even from that kick-off when they got the ball back.

    Switch back on here boys. No mistake time, no cheap penalties.

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Gamble has stepped up this half big time. Doing a good job linking the attack in Hastings' absence. And credit to AOB, I think keeping Crossland at dummy half was the right call because Mann is too much of a handbrake. We're getting Elliot, Croker etc to play first receiver so the shape is...

    So many errors. We just have to start controlling the ball better.

    Good from Mann, we need to bring something different since we clearly miss a halfback.

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    This is not the type of game we win unfortunately. It's a street fight, made to order for the Raiders and we have walked right into it.

    Hastings should not have been picked when Clune had done such a solid job and is a legitimate backup with form and fitness. It was a poor call. We panicked in advance. I don't think we will have the smooth attack to get this done now, lost it in the first half which is so disappointing.

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    I think you have to call it a coaching loss for AOB, and a harsh lesson about finals intensity. The opposition's game plan could not have been any more premeditated and predictable, but we have still been beaten on enthusiasm and been outmuscled. If we had matched them in those areas we have the...

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Me neither. Without the scoreboard pressure I would still have been confident. But we shot ourselves in the foot one too many times and now it feels desperate. I think the Raiders will continue to aim up physically and the pressure to score will play on our minds. We just haven't brought it...

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    Inexcusable not to just get to half time at 10-6. We dodged a bullet and all we had to was get down the other end. That last 60 seconds shows we're just not the same team today, and I don't see us coming back from it now. What a sad end that would be after the winning streak. We really haven't...

    That kick from Gamble could honestly cost us the match. It was terrible. And we didn't defend it at all. I think we're done.

    Yeah, we're imploding here. We have to be very careful to stay in the game right now. We're backing up errors with more errors.

    Match Discussion: Finals Week 1 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

    We haven't really aimed up physically for a finals match, it's disappointing. Raiders have brought a predictable siege mentality and we haven't responded. Costly errors and penalties too. It's now officially concerning.

    Very well deserved Dylan. Well done.

    That's the stuff Clune is definitely good at. He keeps it simple, skips to the outside just enough and puts it on a platter. Nice ball playing, and that's the benefit of bringing in a proper halfback rather than some manufactured utility half.

    Terrible refereeing again. That is a case of finding them a penalty when they're getting totally monstered. No feel for the momentum.
