Feels good knowing we helped the Raiders move into last spot on the ladder this past round :lol:

To legit Raiders fans, hope you come good once Campese comes back and hopefully gets back to dominating form and plays out the season.

Winning a finals game means jack shit unless its a grand final. No one remembers a team
Who made it to a semi final. Fact is no decent player will ever want to go to the raiders nor does any decent coach. Any decent players that come through the Canberra system want to get the hell out of there and will take any offer from any other club. This results in a team of nobodies who will probably never go close to winning another grand final ever. You can always dream though, have fun with that.

The same shoulder charge where Buderus made no contact with the head? That one?

Looks like Ferguson is made of glass ...

In your haste to get one over us raiders supporters you have made yourself look like an absolute ignorant genius.

Buderus accidentally caught Ferguson's eye socket with the top of his head. A strike to that area can very easily lead to a fracture. People involved in combat sports get them quite often.

I'm so so sorry that the hunters education system has let you down because I'm fairly sure a newborn baby could have cracked the mystery of what happened.

Fergo ya soft merkin

Tries to run as hard as he can at one of the smallest blokes on the field, Bedsy stands his ground and down goes Fergo. No wonder Mase was calling Blakey a dog haha

Lets compare Ferguson with keyboard hero rnb11.

Ferguson: finished a game of rugby league possibly the toughest sport on the planet with a broken orbital.

Rnb11: risked severe typing related injuries calling him soft on the internet.

:lol:

Just for the dumber knights supporters (excuse the quality I took it from youtube)

Nobody is suggesting that there was malice in the incident. I certainly don't think it warranted more than an on the field penalty (which we didn't actually get). Injuries happen in RL and it was a freak head collusion but it is f**king annoying that we have lost one of our better players for up to 8 weeks because of an illegal tackle gone wrong that we didn't even get a penalty for.

Although the nrl is considering changing it so incidental contact with the head resulting from a shoulder charge is also an offence.

Danny Buderus may be the last player to escape being booked for a shoulder charge that results in a head clash, with NRL officials understood to be considering changing the definition of the charge to include ''incidental contact''.
Raiders officials were seething after centre Blake Ferguson was ruled out for up to eight weeks with a fractured eye socket believed to have happened when he was shoulder-charged by Buderus in Sunday night's match at Hunter Stadium.
Referees Brett Suttor and Gerard Sutton were axed after failing to take any action on the field, and Buderus escaped sanction by the match review committee as it can book a player for a shoulder charge only if his upper arm or shoulder makes contact with the head of an opponent.

FFS it wasn't a shoulder charge! There was no "charging" at all. He just braced himself for the contact. Jesus Christ, if that's what we're calling a shoulder charge these days I honestly weep for the game. It's unfortunate for Furgerson, but honestly that's a part of the game. Every team suffers injuries. Newcastle in particular if you take some pleasure out of that. There was no charging and there was no malice like you said. I was at the game and Buderus apologised immediately afterwards. Why the f**k should he be suspended, just because a player who RAN INTO HIS SHOULDER was injured? Please. I know you're trying to hold onto anything you can after the loss but seriously, get over it.
