Well done Raiders but fair dinkum only one team was reffed tonite. Raiders offside all night (brett White aint no Usain Bolt) and lying all over us in the play the ball and as soon as we do it we cop a penalty.

Despite the uneven penalty count, the Roosters were still getting away with murder in the ruck. Slowest play the balls I've seen all year and hands were all over the ball.

I can never tip the Roosters again, they ALWAYS get on the wrong end of a penalty account, people underestimate exactly how much of an impact a referee can have on the result

Yep, because every time a team ends up on the wrong team of the penalty counts it's always the ref's fault :crazy:

Did it ever occur to you they ALWAYS end up on the wrong end of the penalty count it's because they're just flat out undisciplined? Clearly not........

6 penalties is normal.

But geez you guys are remarkably disciplined!

2 penalties in 80 min. Wouldnt have anything to do with being at home and against us of course.

Congrats. AMAZING discipline.

The refs come into games with the stupid tip sheet and this is what happens. I believe the raiders own tip sheet superstar fensom got pinged as well. I hate the way they ref as much as anyone but they go into matches believing you guys are an ill disciplined side. Especially when you start to lose. Its going to really cost the Roosters at the business end of the season.

So was it furners coaching that won the game? Is it just his fault when they lose?

Only when we lose mate. The way the boys responded should keep the f**king wolves at bay for a week... Tony Milford didn't look out of place in fg. McCrone is a dreadful half but looked sharp at hooker, Sam Williams improved 10 fold without mccrone trying to be primary play maker.

As an aside I am happy that even after 5 halves in a row keeping the opposition to zero no one is mentioning our defence. Keep it under the radar

It's bee outstanding with plenty of desperation (the Hargraves tackle on papali was magic) and will hold us in good stead when we come up against the top sides
I will mention it....f**king pathetic....lol@cumsters

We'll have no business to attend to at the business end of the season unfortunately.

Credit where it's due. The move for McCrone was the difference and hopefully it shows Williams will be the long term half when Campese returns.

What where raiders odds at half-time
$11

At half time my phone had run out of battery and I couldn't send my buddy expletive-ridden texts anymore so I decided to go and blow $20 on the Raiders to win at $11. The machine didn't work and by the time the attendant fixed it the market had closed. It was at that moment I knew we would win

Have to do it hard don't we.

Always. It's part of being a Raiders fan these days.

You're kidding right? Roosters were very lucky to only concede 6 penalties. Absolutely all over us in the ruck. See through your own bias please.

Yeah I agree.

Can't believe the Roosters threw this one away.

Watched the first half, had to go out, and then came back and saw the final score. LOL. Pretenders.

Well I settled in to watch the game, got to the Raiders fightback, checked the score and turned off in disgust

The Roosters were totally dominating this game and with a 16 v 0 scoreline in the second half - there is no way we should have lost it

Serves me right for tipping the Roosters - always an absolute guarantee for us to f**k up royally.

the 1st 20min the raiders had all the ball and controlled the game and deserved to but failed to take any advantage.

The Roosters get in our 20 then stroll through soft defence to score. And a few times more.

The 2nd half saw McCrone removed from the halves and our attack flowed. He was pretty sharp at dummy half.

A good win , we showed some mental toughness which has lacked all season so far until tonight

Ill wait on judging mccrone but he was good. We should remember though that we deadset pumped the Roosters in the forwards when he was at hooker allowing him to play to his strengths (he is v fast)
