Shillington done a patella. Supposedly.

Is that a serious injury?

Best pack in the game rolled by a team with only 2 props.

Canberra for premiers.

Dear Canberra Raiders,

Enjoy the Matt Orford disease.

Regards,
Manly fans

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't pay too much attention to early season results.

2 points is 2 points, sure, but expect week-to-week form reversals from just about everyone until at least round 5 or 6.

 

[abpanther]

Yeah Orford sucks hard, never liked him in Manly and looks the same player, sh*t kicking game, sh*t passing game, just offers nothing really.

Dugan will make a difference though

 

[VictorTheViking]

Poor effort, so much for our big pack....lol.

Credit to the broncos, neither team was great, but you got the bikkies

 

[Tom155]

Orford was **** before he left and he is **** now, I don't get why everyone's opinion of him has now changed because he went away for a few years

Drop Orford put Williams back in 1st grade

 

[Big Pete]

Raiders back to their complacent best but look I'm going to celebrate this victory, the Broncs showed a fair bit of backbone and once again I was impressed with the development of MotM Josh McGuire.

Hannant and Hodges to return next week, happy days.

THUD... back to earth

credit to the broncos, they showed up the play and show some real starch in the defensive line

but the raiders, well we barely gave them anything to defend. Aside from blocking Fergo out of the game... had we thought to roll the ball in and force a repeat set or 2, the game might have gone a different way

oh well, that game will do us a lot of good, a reminder to our forward pack that to be the best they've got to be the best week in and week out. A reminder to the halves that sustained pressure is the way to go, and a reminder to Milne that there is a reason he's behind Dugan in the pecking order.

 

[SoftSydney]

Please give Lockeyer and Orford farkin pension already

I am amazing Skeepe hasn't been whinging in this thread!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

What a horrible game.

I think the Raiders simply out-sh*itted the Broncos.

The boys came out with a poor attitude and it stuck the whole match.

Worst kicking game I've ever seen.

Hopefully it's a big wake-up call. They can't just expect wins.

 

[Tom155]

Broncos werent great they were solid but raider's were terrible.

 

[Ezy]

Well done Broncos. Came to Canberra with attitude, hung in there in the first half and deservedly won the game.

Typical that Orford is copping a bagging on here. He's not going to set the world on fire playing his first game in 10 months behind a beaten 'superstar' pack. I'm predicting plenty of smiles from Raiders fans once he gets a month of footy under his belt.

I agree. Broncos made far to many errors and attack was pretty bad at times.

Luckily Canberra didn't turn up and the forwards have been buying into their own hype.
