Raiders completely fell to pieces after they got a couple dodgy calls against them. The refs gave the knights their 4 point lead, but the raiders then handed them the next 10 on a platter.

Complete capitulation once the chips were down

Yep we are mentally weak.

Snowden outstanding tonight. Better than Shillinton, Tilse and White combined.

18,689 was the crowd. Would've got more at 2pm. Thank God we don't have anymore Sunday night or Monday night matches until at least rd 21.

Raiders were the better team for 40 minutes. Then they lost the plot.
Actually they were crap the first 25 mins as well. They only played well when Newy let them back in with silly mistakes and penalties before half time. They were woeful that 2nd half.

The Raiders got some dodgy calls against them, but the Knights defence trapped the Raiders down their end in the second half.

They deserved the win.

No, the refs made sure we had no chance. What an absolute f**king disgrace.
Your shithouse defence, poor handling and McCrone being an absolute Donkey was what didn't give you a chance. You were still only 4 behind with over 15 mins to go.

Yeah, that's right. The refs made sure the Faiders defence was so bad that they allowed Cuthbertson to score his first try since 2011, let alone 2 tries this evening.

Give it a break

You clearly know nothing about me. I think Edwards is our worst signing of all time.

I reckon the 2 ex Newcastle guys (Tilse and Edwards) got together and let Cuthbo score to piss you off Skeepe what do you reckon mate?

The biggest problem with the Raiders (and has been for a while, although admittedly I don't watch as many of their games as some others do) is they are mentally not a strong team. If they're playing in Canberra they are a strong team. But as soon as they get on the coach/ plane for an away match, it's like they straight away put up a mental barrier that says "We can't win this."

Although they led at half time, you've got to wonder if as soon as the Knights drew ahead in the second half the heads went down and they were thinking "Here we go again". The moment you do that it's game over. The sooner they can get themselves into a better mentality when they're on the road the sooner they will begin to see results away from home and the refs can stop being the scapegoat...
