It must be close to Easter. Look at all of the Raiders fans up on their crosses already!

:crazy:

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt considering you probably haven't seen any of the game all the way over there. Because if you had, there's no way you'd be denying that the Knights have been gifted two absolute dud tries. There's no way you'd be saying that the Raiders have been screwed on penalties.

 

[donkey|rope]

i give withers a lot of sh*t, but the bloke is a warrior.

 

[bileduct]

how the hell was that not a grapple?

You talking about the one on Tongue with him being held from behind around the neck?

 

[skeepe]

YET ANOTHER bullsh*t call

 

[bileduct]

The ball was knocked out by Newcastle. It either went backward or it was a knock on against Newcastle.

How the f**k does it become a knock on decision against the Raiders?

 

[donkey|rope]

You talking about the one on Tongue with him being held from behind around the neck?

yeah

Yeah, I've only got live score updates to go on. I'm just glad I didn't jump on and have to see something embarassing like a 32-0 scoreline against us.

 

[skeepe]

I'm just totally bemused by this refereeing performance. De Las Heras is definately doing his best to win the "Worst Refereeing Performance Ever" award.

 

[bileduct]

To be honest, referee calls aside I don't think Canberra deserve to be winning this anyway. Dropped balls, forward passes, it's been a pretty mediocre display.

But the Knights have been gifted at least 10 points so far.

 

[skeepe]

The ref calls Mullen offside, Mullen makes the tackle before the player runs 10m, and the ref calls play on. I love De Las Heras.

 

[donkey|rope]

jarred mullen offside, jarred mullen makes the tackle, jarred mullen not penalised

 

[skeepe]

f**k OFF! TONGUE f**kING GROUNDED IT!

Knights 16 (Simpkins 2, De Las Heras tries Gidley 2 goals)
Raiders 4 (Withers try)

mate he didnt even have control of it how did he ground it
it slipped out of hes hands and both players touched it same time

 

[VictorTheViking]

Newcastle are yet to score a legitimate try....what a suprise

This time you're wrong. If we consider hands on the ball while trying to pick it up as grounding it we'll never see the ball run out of the ingoal again.

 

[skeepe]

If Naiqama is given a try with the same level of control, why wouldn't the opposite be true?

 

[bileduct]

Skeepe, you're overreaching here mate, it was a fair call.

 

[bileduct]

Geez, Purtell could have made the kick for goal a little easier.

 

[skeepe]

Beautiful work by Carney. Come on boys! Raiders 14 Knights 18. (Score without ref assistance: Raiders 14 Knights 2)
