What's "yes"?

:sarcasm: Another backline star..

Adrian "hatrick" Purtell

 

[RSK]

f**king great last 20 minutes. The stress of the first half was worth the last 20 minutes.

plus our kicking game > souths

 

[Mal Meninga]

Someone should grab Pearce a tissue whenever McDonnell has the footy.

Cheers for the photos Timmah.

4 handling errors from Purtell? I really doubt that.

Only one I can remember is the dropped bomb.

i thought we had 5-6 line breaks in the first half and a few in the 2nd? also im sure i saw the stats on foxtel they said we had 8 breaks not 5

 

[donkey|rope]

Where do we find the getty images for the game?

The real test for Toddy is next week infront of Bellamy. If he could just keep himself involved throughout the game he'd be such a better player.

exactly. toddy carnage was outstanding today but he's been indifferent in all of our previous 4 games.

 

[gurudave]

Wow I had a bet on the raiders -4.5 and turned off at half time. This weekend has now tought me never to give up after this and the Brisbane Lions last night who I also had some good money on!

 

[Timmah]

Why the fugg are you questioning the stats?

NRL Stats do them, not me. Address your concerns to them ;-)

 

[scottyeel]

Carney had his best game of the year today. Needs to step up every week and stop letting Campese take control.

really? i didnt notice him to the end when they started winning, thought head was a lot better

 

[Mal Meninga]

He set up 4 tries and scored 1 himself.

 

[Penance]

raiders defence is shocking!

why has sheens waited so long to bring in Head? & if Farah wasn't injured he still wouldn't be playing.

The tigers will be a top 4 side with both farah & head in the side.

No they wont

 

[Sood]

Imo was the best game of the round. I always love a comeback

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

No they wont

How would you know didnt u see head play?

are you saying Farah and Benji wont make a difference when they come back???
