Coote in off one of the biggest forward passes you will ever see.

well that was sh*t

nice air grab campo

 

[Pete Cash]

Terrible defence. Execute a player at random.

Coote in off one of the biggest forward passes you will ever see.

I have never hated anyone I've met on an internet forum. It bothers me that the one person I do hate is actually a Raiders supporter.

 

[pantherz9103]

Very happy with the first half, disappointed wtih the 2nd but a win to start the season is rare for us so I'm happy to take it. Walsh's kicking game has proved a big difference here. Walsh well and truly outplayed Herbert.

 

[skeepe]

Some positives to take out of this one. We clearly won the battle of the forwards. Great self belief to come back into it and it took an intercept to finally put us out.

Negatives: the first half and the edge defence. Injuries are going to hurt. No direction from halfback.

 

[shear_joy9]

it's amazing that penrith won with jennings doing sfa

 

[skeepe]

Herbert was clearly tackled early there. Should have been a penalty. Makes no difference one the end. Penrith the better team and it's time for me to eat huge servings of humble pie.

 

[tigerzai]

who got injured?

how did galea go?

 

[pantherz9103]

Can't say the refs cost the Raiders tonight. He was ordinary for both teams.

 

[shear_joy9]

how did galea go?

sh*thouse

take him back please

 

[Pete Cash]

Dugan was pretty good in the second half. Campo was ok in patches. Joel Thompson was ok. Diabolical defence. Herbert I hate you.

 

[shear_joy9]

anyone have furners address?

I want to burn into his lawn "tongue is not a hooker"

 

[skeepe]

We didn't lose because we had Tongue at hooker. Get a grip.

 

[shear_joy9]

it was a very close game though

if purtell misses that interception canberra score and probably would have gone on to win it

 

[Pete Cash]

We looked a lot better with Waddell on the park. He doesn't have the greatest passing game ever either but he has a bit of zip about him.

 

[shear_joy9]

We didn't lose because we had Tongue at hooker. Get a grip.

it certainly didn't help though

it's been proven time and again that canberra can't score with him at hooker. It didn't help tighten the defence up either.

 

[greenhat]

Thanks for the updates gents.
I'm in Laos and this is my only connection to footy.

At least I can drown my sorrows in beerlao

 

[aussies1st]

I can understand Tongue playing the opening 20, I expected that but not for a whole half. That is just crazy, Waddell is clearly the number 1 hooker and Tongue our number 1 lock. I think Furner has to bite the bullet and start Waddell, if he gets tired move Tongue there for 10 minutes.

 

[Pete Cash]

It isn't like Waddell can't defend either. His defence is pretty good. I worry more about his passing game than his defence.
