Shocking Crowd

Your signature is just as shocking. Kidwell :lol: Vagana :lol: Fa'alongo:lol: The 3 most over-rated players in rugby league.

Anyway. Roosters won it in the first half, take nothing away from the performances of our forwards and an excellent game from Kenny Dowell.

 

[Dr Crane]

The Raiders took the Toyota Cup clash 22-20, after leading 16-0 at halftime.

Cheers.

Dear me. The Roosters' first try was scored off a set they never should have had - Pearce clearly played at the ball with his foot before it went dead. The fourth try, as m0j0 pointed out, saw Aubusson a mile offside - has been a penalty to the defending side every single time this has happened until it happened against the Raiders.

Right result in the end, but the refereeing left a lot to be desired yet again.

 

[Raider_69]

very happy with the refereeing performance
it was sh*t and it cost us alot of points but its about time the raiders were smashed, maybe this will wake a few of them up in green

sh*t crowd, sh*t refereeing, sh*t raiders, roosters too good

Couldnt agree more, feel sorry for those that had to travel to watch that tripe

 

[Paullyboy]

No point complaining about refereeing decisions anymore, we all know it's going to happen every week now - it's just become part and parcel of life and will be for as long as Finch allows every ref to go on undisciplined for their performances

Apparently a Roosters fan was arrested for assaulting a Raiders fan during the match. Can't say I'm surprised, I've been threatened, spat on or had things thrown at me every time I've gone to an away match there.

The Roosters fans are an absolute disgrace. I'd say it's a minority, but when it happens so so many times you really do begin to wonder.

He was probably amped up on Latte's...or so the stereotype would suggest.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've only ever had/seen good old fashioned banter with Raiders fans.

 

[skeepe]

Ah most of you are alright. The problem with a minority that start trouble is they're far more visible and stick in the memory longer than the good natured, well behaved ones.

 

[Jobdog]

Hmm, so Skeepey, if its not the referee you're whinging about after a game, you deflect the light off your own teams disgraceful performance (on Saturday night) and start on the poor behaviour of Roosters fans.

I'm not condoning what they did, but do you have to whinge about everything? :crazy:

Exactly, every fanbase has that element in one way or another.

Oh give it a rest, you were truly woeful and not even the referee could have saved you on Saturday ffs... your own comrades even admit as much.

 

[Raider_69]

I was very disappointed in the chook pen's efforts
they had a good showing, they absolutely pump us on the paddock, but it took them until the 74th minute or around abouts before we even herd the obligatory "Roosters *clap* *clap* *clap*" chant

whilst the army as usual, on a hiding to nothing on the paddock, off it sang all game and owned the home gans. With green goggles firmly on, the Raiders Army are the pound for pound the best supporters group in the comp

BTW, if the roosters fan arrested was the same tit who threw the full beer at a Raiders Army members head, he is lucky the boys in blue got him and not said RA member, who was rightly ropable and seeing red.

 

[Timmah]

I thought the Chook Pen sold out over the off-season? :lol:

Not deflecting. What would you prefer me to talk about? The woeful completion rate? The complete lack of effort? Coach Forktongue and his inability to motivate his players? I've spent plenty of time reflecting on this, so I apologise if my choice of conversation differs from what you believe it should be.

 

[Timmah]

I think he's making reference to the fact that you can't go a single NRL match without launching a scathing criticism of how the referee destroyed your sides chances. At 30-4 I don't think the ref had a thing to do with the fact you lost.

A fact you'll see I acknowledged. But to see that you'll need basic reading and comprehension abilities, and then you'll also have to admit that you were wrong... a dirty word in the world of Timmah I know.

It is sold out, i saw it first hand, was barely a seat not taken in the pen on saturday night, tremendous turn out
but what's the point if they all think they are at the opera?
Could hear a pin drop in the middle of the pen at some stages i recon.

Soft effort, their side deserves better from the Pen imo
