Only skeepe could possibly find a way to blame referees for a 34 point victory.
No...I agree with Viktor, youre nothing but a troll, hypocrite and a loser of a supporter.
Every club has them.
Some of the comments in this thread are disgraceful. Fair dinkum, we could win a grand final and you lot would spend most of the match whinging and whining. f**king numbskulls for fans.
I'm going to focus on the marvelous hat trick by Dugan, one of the best first halves the Raiders have EVER produced, the brutal hits in defense and the fact that we looked dangerous on almost every play.
Sorry to interrupt the emo convention, please continue.
haha the raiders have the best and worst fans all rolled into one. Some shameful comments here by shameful raiders fans i think.
On the game, poorly refereed on both sides but its the norm now isn't it?
Across the round every week we see. Nearly cost a side a game yesterday in the roosters game, thankfully as dreadful as it was, it didn't impact this game. Canberra too big, too strong and too good for what is actually a pretty f**king ordinary knights side. We've not been playing well so it was a tad unexpected but realistically a fair representation of the difference in talent from each side. The knights have a lot of holes to try and fill. Canberra just need to add an experience half to this team and we're a legit contender
That being said, joshy was rightly named man of the match. So its all gravy this week for us.
1. DuganTBH, if i were to take a combined team out of the two
Id force Adam Mogg into retirement, move Vidot into the centres and put Uate on our wing. And he's the only knights player id take
My thoughts and feelings on newcastle are well established and i'll freely admit to hating everything about the team, its fans and its town but none of that plays any role when i say i think that knights team is absolutely woeful.
Giddley goes ok at club level though the more i see of it the more im convinced he's a hooker playing fullback poorly, Mullen is the only bloke outside Uate that's worth a pinch of sh*te and he's not been the same since he got dumped from Origin. Uate though... wow, he's come on slower than many expected and i had doubts if he'd ever be as good as advertised but he's a gun.
1. Dugan
2. Uate
3. Vidot
4. Whichever Centre is considered the best at Canberra
5. Monas
6. Campese
7. Mullen
8. Shillo
9. De Gois on '09 form (has played most of this year injured and struggling post knee-op)/Waddell on '10 form
10. TLL
11. Taia
12. Harrison
13. Fensom
14. Gidley
15. Tilse
16. Thurling
17. Another Canberra prop or possibly Thurling
would be a combined side. 3 or debatably (on De Gois) 4 would make the Canberra team in some capacity. you can't not rate Taia. he is simply awesome... and won't leave the NZ team for years if he stays fit.
fair enough. i believe your opinion will change sooner rather than later, though. possibly as soon as the 4 Nations. i wouldn't say he's a special player... but he is 100% class - international quality, and has been slipping under the radar for quite some time now.i dont rate Taia that highly mate, its as simple as that. I think our back row is one of the stronger back rows in the comp, and i cant find a place for him in my team. Sorry, JMO.
Standing out in what is a park footy level pack at Newcastle is easy. Granted his work with NZ has been good without being great but i just dont rate him highly enough to punt any forward from our team for him.
