Something like that - if by refs you mean TLL, Harrison and co.

The winner was rugby league.

Aren't Eel supporters over it. It was weeks ago now.

Imagine how bad the Raiders would be if Josh Dugan didn't play for them.

Skeepe's whinging paints us in a bad light - but I think a lot of it is to get a rise out of you lot

Please don't tar all Raiders supporters with the same brush :cry:

Two people decided that match and they were both wearing pink. Their steadfast refusal to blow a penalty against Souths is what determined the game. Souths were all over the ruck, holding down every tackle, miles offside on every single play. Ridiculous.

As far as the Raiders were concerned, they were penalised for every little imaginary indiscretion, many of them either blatantly not penalties (the ridiculous flop penalty, which Souths did far worse far more often without penalty a prime example), or far softer than what Souths were allowed to get away with (Raiders penalised for a tackle round the shoulders in the first half, Souths allowed to hit Tongue around the throat in the second half, for example).

Congratulations on the win Souths, shame you needed one of the biggest hatchet jobs by an incompetent refereeing team that were so unashamedly one-sided, that I have ever seen in order to achieve it.

Congratulations to the Raiders forward pack, who proved themselves to be the superior of the wind bags playing for the opposition.

I see you fail to mention the penalty for a strip from Souths, where it led to a try next set. Why would we strip the ball on the final tackle when we had him wrapped up?

What about Issac Luke, tackled and deemed to have lost it and he had a firm grip on it at all times or when he had the ball kneed out by Campese or when Souths had a pass knocked down by Canberra near half way and another Raiders player picked it up in an off side position.

To top it off, Dugan was in touch for that try, go and look again at the back angle, his right boot grazes the line clearly. He looked at it once.

That didn't mean that we had to drop off tackles to allow the tries in the first half, but to say it was a hatchet job against your side is a joke considering that first half.

In the second half, the Raiders lose because they get tired, it is plain to see. Our guys got on a roll every set, and we had enough time to close the gap.

What a load of rubbish. Everything you're bleating about above were 100% correct decisions. I could come up with a list 5 times as long of occasions where the Rabbits received some extremely favourable (in other words, blatantly incorrect) decisions.

The fact of the matter is that Souths would have been nowhere near the Raiders today if it weren't for the men in pink. And that is an undeniable FACT.

The better team lost today, solely due to Robert Finch's inability to produce a first grade standard referee.
