'10 | QF3 - 2 v 7 | Sat 8:30 | Panthers 22-24 Raiders | CUA

[Paullyboy]

Also getting sick of Canberra and their fans. Some bad behaviour by their fans at the game. Go the Tigers (if dragons win) next week. Raiders are a good young side but their fans are poor sports.

I didn't want to lay the slipper into panthers fans while you guys are down, but deadset, this requires a response.

On 3 separate occasions in the 2nd half, a 'hero or heroes' from the Penrith section came over to the Raiders hill looking for a fight when things started going bad for their team. All 3 times the police stepped in and rightfully escorted them out of the ground (just quietly they all would have been belted if it wasn't for the cops too). Every team has bad apples, but for you to single us out as poor sports after watching the crap some of your crowd threw out there is unbelievable.

On the way out a bunch of panthers fans came down to where the Raiders fans were congratulating our boys and wanted to start fights again. Once again, they were grossly out-numbered and would have been belted - if they didn't target the raiders female supporters! Absolute pack of gutless wonders.

Panthers are done. Waterhouse is gone. Tim Grant and Pritchard most likely done too.

They were terrible last night. The Raiders didn't play that well either I didn't think. Huge let down after the prior game.

I disagree. I thought we were nervous, but fought well against a team clearly in good form. We didn't give them much, and most of their points came off early penalties. The Raiders were good, and I thought we did well to stay in it with 2/3rds of our starting backrow out.

I thought the refs were all Raiders though I haven't seen a replay. The respective tens were 9m for Panthers, 12 meters for Raiders, consistently, all night. That really takes it's toll over the course of 80 mins. That's not black colored glasses. Some of the early penalties looked dodgy to me too. That said I understand the obstruction no try was a tough call against the Raiders.

Had a few issues with drunk Raiders fans, but overall they were fine.

Well played Raiders. Best of luck from here unless we meet in the big one.

Was that after Cnberra deliberately went over to the Black Hole where there were virtually no canberra supporters and clapped and and carried on like massive smart arses?

:lol::lol::lol:

You're an absolute idiot.

There were pockets of Raiders fans everyone around your dodgy little stadium. There were a fair few fans near the Black Hole and after they had celebrated with them, they made their way over to the Raiders Army on the Hill. And then of course there were around 20 Panthers fans who threw bottles at the players.

It's simple, there will always be idiotic fans from every club.

Canberra were the better team and should have won by more. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out why the Campese try was not given. It was almost a carbon copy of Sandow's dive in the first Creagh try last week.

 

[beave]

The no try to Campese was absolutely disgraceful. Russell Smith I swear has NFI..............................

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Can't believe the Panthers fans excuses for the loss. You guys lost fair and square, if we didn't get duded by a ridiculous call who knows what the score would have been.

Very lucky to have only lost by 2 points

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Well done to the Canberra club for the effort on the field and in the stands last night. You created great atmosphere and I hope you go all the way. I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Hopefully we'll see a full house in the capital this weekend.

 

[soc123_au]

Who's whinging you dropkick. You won we lost, raiders were the better team end of story. The forward passes were forward & smith was obstructed. Made no difference anyway. Now build a bridge & f**k off over it.

Take Sandor out and the Raiders win by 20 tbh.

 

[Raider Azz]

Unfortunately most of the senior RA guys weren't at the game last night and I can tell you if they were there that sh*t wouldn't be tolerated, particularly because one of them is a copper himself.

I don't get it. We start winning a few games and some of us think it's a licence to carry on like a tw*t. Pull your f*cken heads in. Show some grace in victory and some respect for other teams and fans.

No offense leeroy, but you weren't there so don't really have a right to make a comment like that. As I've already mentioned, none of us could even hear the ground announcer as the PA didn't carry over to the hill so we didnt even realize there was a minutes silence until we saw it on the big screen. As soon as we realized everybody stopped cheering and were quiet.

There were plenty of senior RA guys there including myself, Sully, butters, raider 69, boing snd ultra and I can tell you the army were exceptional. Of course there are drunken buffons at every game and unfortunately the blame gets put onto us whether or not those people are actually involved in the army.

As for the fence, to try and blame it on us is ludicrous. I was at the very bottom of that pile up, people were excited at what was probably our best win in about 10 years and wanted to show the players their appreciation. I thought it was hilarious and showed the passion that was on show from the raiders faithful.

If thats true that's f**kin disgraceful as well.

Seriously...they need to ban alcohol at these games...its ridiculous what this sh*t causes.

Look at the Dragons game today that knob giving Watmough the bird up the tunnel. Wonder if that hero would actually do that to his face outside the ground.

No wonder noone wants to come to the games...surrounded by absolute wankers.

Indeed. Stupid Dragons fans as well. but at least it was their home ground of which their club will pay for.

As opposed to an opposing home ground where there is no responsibility from anyone in Canberra to pay for the damage.

 

[Caged Panther]

Don't think the situation was helped last night by the ridicuolous start time.

Don't worry, you'll have all offseason to fix it

 

[franklin2323]

A few points.

The crowd behavior. Prob wasn't helped by the stupid 830 start time 10.30 the game ended. As always some people can't handle booze the bottle throwing (disgusting) was started from Monaghan mouthing f**k you and giving the bird to the Blackhole. I dare say an opposing player does that at any ground it's asking for trouble especially with 7 hours of drinking under their belt

The Campese no try that's been happening all season with the rules the way they are it will keep being no try. As a player I know Fensom couldn't go no where BUT the rules say a decoy contact obstruction especially when the player outside Smith almost made the tackle.

As for the booing every ground it happens at I can guareentee it will happen on Fri night down there. As for the refereeing 5 times I heard the ref on sportsears call Learoyd-lars offside the dummy half runs into him no penalty. I can see why people were getting frustrated
