I actually thought it was a good game. Despite absolutely abysmal refereeing, the Raiders had plenty of chances to win the match but weren't good enough to take them.
Panthers defence was immense, although surely Civoniceva should have been binned late in the game. We just seem to lack that spark in attack that we had last year. It doesn't help when a halfback - who's having a good game - spends time on the bench. Firmer has a lot of work to do to convince me that he's ready for a first grade coaching job, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. A 2-6 start tends to indicate not at this point. I'm willing to give him a chance, but something needs to change soon
