09 :: R24 Sun :: Warriors 34 Raiders 20 @ Mt Smart

[Meth]

Typical Warriors, Hohaia and Heremaia have scored one each, and bombed one each.

No they haven't

Locke bombed that one with Hohaia

Not sure what Heremaia has done wrong

 

[Meth]

Mannering in after a soft penalty

16-10 ktc

Awful first half from Canberra.

Sums up their season really. Soooo hot and cold.

 

[Rovelli]

Meth, Heremaia went himself after Pricey put him through, Stacey with his old age would've scored.

Anyway, 16-10 at halftime, and plenty more points coming in the 2nd half. Raiders with field position can put plenty of points on, Campese is pulling the strings very nicely. Warriors when they throw caution to the wind have been very dangerous...

Mannering scores a couple before halftime. Big blow that. 16-10


Both teams are showing today why they're not anywhere near the playoff race.

Warriors - 3rd in the NRL in metres gained per match, 1st in tackle breaks, 3rd in off loads and yet they can't score tries. Have bombed 2-3 with terrible last passes already so far. Good to see them playing expansive football, but they need to be smart about it as well, and unfortunately dumb football has been a trademark of the Warriors in 2009.

Canberra - Can score tries quickly and from anywhere, but I think most people would've predicted a mental let down after last week. They were always going to struggle and their defence has been nothing short of atrocious because of it. Huge potential in the team but they need to find consistency before they'll ever be a genuine threat.

Warriors are making enough breaks to score lots of points but they're coughing up enough ball for the Raiders who don't need a second invitation to score points. Could be a lot of tries scored in the second half.

Horrible game so far.

Horrible game so far.

Great game so far

Wow

 

[Meth]

Ropati may be in

 

[Raider_69]

Campese is having an absolute stinker

 

[Meth]

Try

20-10 ktc

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Benefit of the doubt?

Was there any doubt? :crazy:

 

[Timbo]

One of these days we'll get a BOTD try I'm sure...

 

[Meth]

This has been the best 5 minutes of Ropati's season

 

[Meth]

Nice kick Jones, Hohaia in again

 

[wittyfan]

Someone should give number 17 for Canberra something to wake him up.

 

[Raider_69]

Nothing surer in the world then after a brilliant, grinding 80 minute game like that, the raiders lose to their next "worse" opponet. Had we been playing a big gun, we'd have probably won

God i hate being right sometimes
havent looked like winning this game from minute 1, the warriors should be much further ahead.

 

[Meth]

Campese is having an absolute stinker

Yep. And Monaghan has been just as average. I was seriously worried about him on Ropati; Ropati has completely outplayed him

 

[shear_joy9]

McCrone and Croker are the only two canberra players that deserve their match payments today

 

[Meth]

Moon is in.
