'11 | R20 | Mon | Raiders 24-19 Dragons | Canberra

F**k that. The thought of Billy "I'll wear this shit eating grin so you don't think I'm a dirty little grub" Slater, Cameron "I signed two contracts and it was all legit!" Smith and the rest of that lot with Premiers medals around their necks, feeling somehow vindicated for all their "We waz robbed!" unapolagetic whining last year, is enough to make anybody who isn't a bitter Dragons hater want to reach for a bucket.

I'd probably even side with Manly if they play the Storm in a GF, and that is saying a LOT.

 

[Jason Maher]

Well done Canberra. By far the better team in the second 40. I'm filthy with my team for that seocnd half effort. Haven't been this upset after a game for a long, long time.

 

[bileduct]

Some real class shown by most Dragons fans in defeat. Good on 'em.

Bennett didn't seem too concerned. He seemed to think you guys played well and the Raiders just got lucky.

 

[Jason Maher]

Bennett says whatever he can to take the pressure off his team. I'm sure privately he wouldn't be too happy with them.

 

[skeepe]

You're probably right.

Didn't Matt Cooper look sour post match? He looked like he'd found out Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy aren't real all on the same day.

Ah but for the rest of us....

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy aren't real

.......


what.the.f**k.

They aren't?

Well this certainly sucks arse.

Certainly put a downer on a good night for me

A team makes its own luck to a point.
Yeah, Soward missing 3 goals is lucky, as is getting it back off a short kick off with f**k all time left.
But there is nothing lucky about the Ferguson try or the Dugan try.
Behind closed doors Bennett will probably blow a gasket at them for losing this match, and that isn't a slant on the raiders who took the opportunity and had a great second 40 minutes, its because he knows it was there to be won.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

It was there to be won alright. Don't think the refs could've set it up any better even if they tried.

 

[saint_marto88]

It's the Canberra curse. Not surprised at all

 

[Walt Flanigan]

It's a actually not too different to the Dragons last win in Canberra.

Canberra winning 14 - 10, then a bomb goes out to the right wing on the 80th and Wishart goes over.

That's how long ago it was. That team had Wishart, MacGregor, Mackay and Bartrim in it.

Please do...yawn.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Cracking game.

 

[Rodent]

Good win Canberra. Reffing was a disgrace with howlers going against both sides on multiple occasions. Dragons seemed to lack energy in the 2nd half. Not sure if it's the weather or the time of year but it happens every season. I finally thought the curse was broken and to concede a try on the bell like that was terrible.
Anyway, we live to fight another day. Can't wait for Hunt and Young to come back in as we were pretty soft up the middle. Captain Hornbag returning will certainly help as well.

Well put.

That wasn't our last win in Canberra, it was the joint ventures first win

My rule is if the raiders can't win it might as well hope the side that will cause the most misery does.
