'12 | Heritage R5 | Mon | Raiders 6-22 Cowboys | Canberra

[user_nat]

Forward pack stepped up big time without Matt Scott

How good has Tamou been this year?

Needs to be in the NZ side IMO.

Campese 2 runs for 12 metres

r1: 4m
r2: 7m
r3: 12m
r4: 59m
r5: 12m (tonight)

I have nfi why he refuses to run the ball

 

[Mr Angry]

Canberra were poor, simple.

I feel for them. You don't mind if your team plays with great effort and execution, but so do the other mob, and they get you.

But when it feels like your team just did not show, they look sort of headless, it hurts.

 

[shear_joy9]

not sure if posted but the crowd was 12,135

Great effort by Chris James for the Cowboys tonight. Really got them home with a completely one-sided performance.

Oh dear. Refs were crap but so too were the raiders

:lol: Ah, the great man returns.

 

[Raider_69]

We were rubbish
the cowboys just did their job and controlled the game

some dud calls but had no impact on the game. We just sucked and the cowboys didnt

 

[innsaneink]

Steve Lyons, what an incompetent arrogant prick of a ref he is.
That Tate ''knock on'' just shows how refs guess what happened
"You lost control of the ball"
Replay showed he didnt, he almost played it at an angle, went to correct himself, never lost control of the ball....and was then pinged for lost possesion.
He should be sacked.

 

[BDR]

Gotta love the skeepe rage when his team were completely outplayed.

Didn't like the last 20 we'll have to lift at home vs the Storm but I am confident the boys will get up for it. Hopefully this is the foundation for us to get on with the season.

Fair assumption!

 

[VictorTheViking]

What can you say about that except shit happens..., I know we've got better Footy in us than that.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Full credit to the Cowboys they look really good with an in-form Bowen and Thurston is nearly there too. They'll be very dangerous as the weeks go by. Defended well too.

We didn't get much go our way but that is no excuse tonight. We were flat, predictable and pea-hearted. The halves were terrible. Campese wouldn't get involved and McCrone wouldn't pass. They just refused to go for repeat sets and build pressure until late in the game which led to our only try.

Just to top if off we lose another two players to injury. I think we're injuring at least two players every week. How long can they keep saying that this is not out of the ordinary?

That was by far the worst call I saw.....

 

[innsaneink]

Hes the worst ref, I cant stand him and his arrogance increases as his error rate does, hes useless
Turns his back on players while theyre still talking to him, doesnt look at them when he talks to them, I wish a player would put one on his chin one day!!
LOL

Which one played the role of Steve Lyons tonight? Jason Robinson or Chris James.

 

[Raider_69]

James was by far the worst

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

The refs are nowhere near as bad as the Raiders. They are so poorly coached.

Flat footed. Predictable. No idea when they are inside the oppositions 20.

Furner is coaching like its still the 90's. They are a team of individuals with no idea. The Tigers made them look good last Monday.

The only thing worse than Jarrod Crokers defence is David Furners coaching.
