sh*t team A beat sh*t team B 21-14

Hopefully my sh*t Team C can beat both of these.

While the first half was woeful from us, I thought our second half was pretty good, and given the amount of injuries we have I thought it was a half decent effort all round

 

[*Paul*]

Our execution let us down at times, but I was happy with our enterprise. A lot more passing than I'm accustomed to seeing from them. A reasonably encouraging sign.

 

[Apey]

3/4, tipped the Storm :crazy:

onya Raiders

 

[Trentski]

f**k u dragons!!

4/5 so far for my tips!

 

[Raider_69]

Hit and run down to canberra and back
i must say, its a bloody good drive home on the back of a win

Stoked with the 2nd half effort, a player down and we keep saints scoreless
Joel Monaghan had a DEMON of a game

 

[Timbo]

Christ, another bad injury to one of our key players.

Thought we gutsed out a good win tonight, never drifted from our gameplan.

However having seen games reffed by first Tony De las Herad, and now Gavin Badger...If these two guys are the best refs we've got...Geez....

Pathetic effort in the 2nd half, just woeful. Chase had a poor game and yet again Gasnier didn't get enough quality ball. Gutting after such a good start

 

[Raider_69]

Canberra are still making far too many errors... 68% completion rate... not acceptable for FG footy

but to win with graham down for most of the game, behind on the possession rate and to come back from 10 nil down and eventually to be trailing at half time... real gutsy stuff
and for the 2nd week straight we held our opposition to Nil in the 2nd half...

a far sight improvement on last year even when we won, we conceeded 24+ points, and when we lost we got lapped.
