'10 | SF1 - W4 v L2 | Fri | Raiders 24-26 Tigers | Canberra (CAN elim)

[Ladmate]

We should have 20 penalties, Campese crawls atleast 3 meters every time he is tackled. They scored after a crawl. Damn refs.

What an interesting and exciting half of footy.

The tigers completely dominated opening proceedings and looked like they were going to run away with it, but like last week the couldn't capitalise, Benji started getting too fancy and they let the raiders get back in it. Truly astonishing that they are only up by 6 points. Will the relatively low lead come back to haunt them like it did against the roosters?

Referees are having a shocker as well. Blowing so many soft penalties, while still letting both sides get away with murder in the play the ball. I cant understand why these blokes can have such razor sharp vision to spot even slight supposed rakes while missing blatant stuff like walking off the mark (campo), defenders walking through the play the ball (gibbs) and other nonsense.

Also, Ryan = Fitzhenry v2.0

The Tigers will surely fade in the 2nd half. Canberra to win by a try.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

I know he broke his jaw the other week but f**k me Lawrence has been really poor in defence tonight

He's normally one of our best defensive players. I don't know why Sheens would play him, he's clearly stuffed.

What the f**k is Campese complaining to the ref about? He should have been pinged a few times. For walking off the mark and also for being a balding twat

 

[Chook Norris]

tigers were looking especially sharp in that opening period.. whilst canberra are only beginning to overcome their nervousness

it's anybody's game

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'm calling for Fitzy to come on for Ryan, he has been abysmal

what about campese crawling 5m off the mark for canberras first try, how wasn't that a penalty?

 

[Dutchy]

Tigers offside all game.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Lucky to only be 6 behind imo....terrible start

Still in it but definately have to pick our game up, tigers were all over it at the start there

Heighington looks identical to a bloke who beat me up at the pub the other week lol

First team to score in the 2nd half wins I think. Tigers fired their best shots and should have a bigger lead.
Dragons gonna kill the winner anyway.

Dragons will choke. I can hear them coughing now :lol:

Happy with that first half. A few of the last passes just aren't sticking though. If a few more stick, we'll win this well. Also our defence is dreadful (even considering last week), I can see us holding onto this one though.

For the Harrison try, if Campese walked any further off the mark he could've scored the try himself.

 

[RugbyHighlights]

What about that Ellis tackle. Pretty much identical to the one last week

 

[_snafu_]

Tigers offside all game.

Is that because when Canberra play the ball they walk 5 metres off the mark?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Tigers dominated first 20, raiders second 20.

6 point margain is fair IMO

It is in Union lol

That haircut will do me... no words for that monstrosity

 

[Meth]

I want to see Campese feeding the ball more to Croker- he's hardly been involved so far
