Probably the most disgraceful performance from our boys all year.

Joel Thompson would be the only bloke who turned up to play 80 minutes. One of his best games for us.

Just stupid bloody football all day and the last 20 lacked any heart at all.

I don't think Melbourne were even playing their best footy. Would hate to see the result if they were.

He was lucky to see the whole 80 minutes...

we play so bad Melbourne didnt have to play at top gear. We are cracking all these negative records this year ie titans winning first game in canberra, held to zero at canberra for first time etc. wont be surprised if we get spoon and dragons beat us![/QUOTE]

We should have done so last year and realistically should do so this year.. whether or not it happens, we shall see!

I bet waiders_spooners is sharpening his car keys

Yes we do.
Unfortunately our rep fullback has barely played this year, our rep quality 5/8th has played 8 minutes, our rep quality starting front row have been in and out of the line up and our rep quality 2nd rower has played like a park footballer.

Your rep fullback isn't a rep quality player, yet. Face it, he got there on the back of Stuart favouritism.

Your rep quality 5/8 hasn't been rep quality for a number of years, but I'll give you that he would help out your team more than not being there.

Your rep quality starting front row are pretty average, and there is a reason that they have been in and out of the line up.

Your rep quality 2nd rower plays like a park footballer because he isn't rep quality.

You don't have the talent, it's no big thing. My team doesn't have the quality either, but being delusional about the talent in team doesn't help you come to terms with your teams poor performance.

You are an awful judge of talent.

I think you are a bit harsh on them.. If it weren't for injuries they would be a top 6 team. At the end of last season they were showing how good they can be..

Cocked elbow with first contact to the jaw. Should've been sent off straight away but Melbourne don't even get a penalty.

Hope he enjoyed playing his last game of the season.

There was nothing at all wrong with that hit. Not Thompson's fault Kostjasyn is a pussy.

I agree that Melbourne should have got the penalty for Thurling running in.

But "cocked elbow" :lol:

He looked right up at the touchie when he hit him then when time was called off Thopmson looked like he had just wet himself and didnt want anyone to find out.. He knew he did wrong..

Dugan would have played all 3 origin games. You may not like but he's rep quality. Deal with it

Campese fit and firing is rep quality. I dont know what your arguing tbh.

Our starting front rowers ended last year in the AUSTRALIAN squad, they are in and out of the line up because they've both had shocking years injury wise. Most are still bemused as to why TLL was even in a game to rupture his bicep when he should have been in the SOO squad. Shillington if fit would have played all 3 games for QLD. Fact.

Bronson Harrison was statistically was one of the best back rowers in the game last year and the year prior, which is why he's usually a walk up start for NZ. Unfortunately his season has been diabolical. Im not sure how to remedy this, aside from the emergency of Josh Papalii, to replace him

There is a reason why the raiders are considered the most disappointing team of 2011 and its not because we lack talent, its because everyone can see the talent in the squad. And we're playing like busted arses

The squad has the talent to compete, its just not happened this year for a variety of reasons, largely around missing key players

You live in your little fairy land. The Raiders are an average side.
TLL on his day is good, and I'd have him in the NSW SOO team next year, but nobody else from the Raiders.

MRC will be seeing young Joel in Sydney come Wednesday if he doesn't cop the plea.

Direct elbow contact was made with the jaw and, deliberate or not, he led with his elbow out and the contact occured.

I doubt he would have been sent because it is hard to get sent these days but a report should have been made. Not sure of the procedure though as the play had progressed and another penalty incurred against the Storm. In that situation I dont know that they are able to go back and make a report because in doing so it would mean having to issue a penalty.

As for weepe. You are a gormless spastic but you are, if nothing else, good for a laugh

At a minimum Thompson hit him high and fairly recklessly.

You can argue whether he was leading with a cocked elbow or bracing himself for contact, but Thompson collected Kostjasyn high.
