I'm sure Raiders fans will see through the good natured ribbing from some other team's fans and be pretty pleased with most of their team's efforts today. It was a great game, and both sides are showing a fair bit of depth given the players that didn't start, and the injuries during the match.
Milford and Wighton just look amazing, with some experience they could be exceptional. The whole Raiders side were great, given that they stormed back when down by a lot vs a very aggressive defensive line.
I'm delighted by the Sharkies, great win boys! They were tough for most of the game, and actually can attack when Carney is there. We really missed him when he was out, but with him we look a very good side, maybe even a top 8 side if ASADA stuff doesn't wreck us.
Both sides need to stiffen up defense and execute better (both teams bombed some tries, which would hurt vs a tough defensive side like the Roosters, Manly or Storm) vs the top 4, but from a pretty big chasing pack, Sharks and Raiders on current form look as good as any of the teams from 5 to 12.
