[Timbo]

Well, that was brutal.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

that lost puts the raiders in 16th place

If they hadn't conceded that last try they'd be in 15th.

For/Against
Titans -98
Raiders -100

Why in the hell did the Bronco's let him go??? The kid will be rookie of the year IMO. He's an absolute beast.

Unsure, he certainly wasn't wanted.

Pretty sure it was all Ivan.

He was supposed to be the nuffy brother too...

Really??? :lol: Henjack what a Tard.

DUgan was the big loss, Campo was only on the field for about 3 minutes. Dugan was absolutely running the show though. He is going to get better and better which is a good thing. Just gotta sort out the injury problems (I hope)

Too much passing and kicking from Doogs - he's "not playing in a fullback's shape".

Fullbacks need to just play up the guts, apparently.

What a pathetically inept and heartless performance from canberra

I wouldnt have blamed the fans to see hundreds of jerseys tossed onto the field at f/t

They should at least refund the entry fee

I dunno bout that. Leading 22-0 and then to have leaked three tries before halftime most teams would have totally packed it in but they were leading with 10 to go with 15 men. I'd say it was more execution after Dugan/Campese were gone and the subsequent tiredness than a lack of heart.

 

[Pete Cash]

The lack of heart was in that period directly after Dugan got injured through to about 10 minutes into the second half. I was at least a bit impressed they got it back together.

Dugan is hugely important for the club

Yes we get it that ricky stuart made you sad but can give it a break for 5 minutes

 

[legend]

No leadership and our most experienced player failed to take control. In fact, quite the opposite, he turned up his toes and dogged it when the game was on the line.

Tongue is completely responsible for that loss. A good leader leads from the front when the game is on the line. He played like a f**king cat!

 

[God-King Dean]

Tongue is an Origin player......

 

[CrazyEel]

Thump!

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh Tongue is ueseless....absolutely useless....he once had all the skills.
For a prop to get the ball on the last play with a chance to win is insanity

 

[Pete Cash]

He has been ruined being shoehorned into a hooker. He isn't a hooker and there is no way he is as good a lock as Fensom. I am not going to bag him out because he bled for the club but I don't think he is good enough any more

 

[legend]

Tongue = Merkin.

 

[Parra Pride]

Billy Rogers > Allan Tongue.

No no no, Ricky made me very happy with his bizarre public implosion in today's Telegraph.

I f**king despise cronyism and the lies used to justify it, so it's good to see when it unravels.

 

[Pete Cash]

Dugan is better than Hayne and is the fullback that Stuart want. Stop crying. Stuart lives and dies by his results so he gets the side he wants.

 

[skeepe]

I'm not going to blame the boys too much for that, in fact I was impressed with the heart they showed in that second half, they were just missing that crucial bit of leadership at the end. When you have McCrone on the wing, Papalii in the centres and Ferguson at fullback, I think we were doing well to still be right in it at the end.

Its not easy grinding out a win when the opposition is allowed to be offside every single play and get away with it, but the boys tried hard and but for a few poor decisions at key moments, we probably would have won.

I think Dugan really showed how good he is today. He was controlling that game when he was there, and we turned to absolute custard after he went off. Add to it Campese's new injury and news that Orford will probably require groin surgery and be out the rest of the season, and it's been a costly day for the Raiders.

 

[Jason Maher]

Well Hayne will get the gig now and all the Parra fans can rejoice!
