Nice sneaky phantom knock on call to cap it off. Good job refs.

:lol:

The Raiders did knock it on. what's in the water down in Canberra? Bunch of clueless sooks in here. Getting so many advantages from referees and whining over clearly correct decisions against you.

 

[St Tangles]

A bit of fairness from the ref's and we win by 50

Curse reversed LollyPop f**kers!!

Aren't you a panthers fan? Or did you jump ship.

Absolutely amazing how a team can go 60 minutes without conceding a penalty.

Adam Devcich is such a merkin. Unbelievably bad performance today.

Congratulations David Smith, your boys stuck to the script admirably.

As an example. Kick by Raiders hits a Dragons player. Another Dragons player 20 metres in front, clearly in an offside position, dives on the ball. Easiest, most obvious penalty you will ever see. Play on is the call.

The NRL get the result they want, and it's only the Raiders, so who gives a f**k, right?

Enjoy the spoon Raiders fans. Bludger of a club.

Enjoy the spoon.

Edrick Lee was an abomination of defending in that game. He made Brenko Lee look like Matt Cooper vs Manu Vatuvei two weeks ago.

Oppositely, Brett Morris must surely be the best finisher in the history of Rugby League.

But what we saw today: Morris & Nightingale vs Tupou & Lee - is that the greatest disparity in winger quality ever seen in first grade NRL?

 

[Paullyboy]

I want the spoon. Anything better than that wouldn't reflect this season appropriately. The worst thing that could happen to our club is to finish 15th.

It's all the refs isn't it

Aren't you a panthers fan? Or did you jump ship.

I am a Panthers fan. Hence there's no bias in this game. I saw Raiders get more lenience from the referee then Dragons. The wrestling and driving in tackles, forward passes and some missed knock ons.

That's not to say they didn't get a dud call or two against them. But at the end of the game they had the better run with calls IMO. Dragons tries were all legit and scrutinised by video referee. Rapana's try was off the most forward pass of the game from dummy half to Milford.

Better team won. Referee tended to favour the home side. Both teams could have been penalised more and had passes pulled up. But the team benefiting from that lenience was Canberra.
