I think we also lead the league for having props put in kicks to complete the set.

and props getting more touches than our halves inside the opposition 20.

Which is fitting I guess, considering that our only 2 line break assists came from Shillington and Buttriss.

That dummy half try from Paul Carter, watch 14 (Matt White?). As he plays the ball he puts his hands right in Dane Tilse's face, blocking his view momentarily, right at the point Carter starts to make his run.

It's hard to tell if this impacts Tilse at all, as he doesn't seem to react. He and McIllwrick still should have stopped the try which was absolutely f**king soft.

If a referee has awarded 14 penalties against a side and hasn't even threatened to use the sin bin, he's not doing his job properly. Then again you could say the same about a ref who short changes a team a tackle as well.

Wouldn't have changed the outcome mind you, we could have had 1,000 penalties in that second half and still failed to score. Dear God that was bad. Croker the only one to come out of that with his head held high IMO.

I just dont know what to say about that game after watching it again.....our defence in some areas is outstanding and in others is as soft as butter, as for our attack...the less said about it the better lol

Raiders are the refs favourites this year, 30 penalties for and only 16 against.

The Titans were really pushing the envelope last night. They were constantly offside and holding down. People said this about the Roosters last year but I honestly thought the titans were doing it on purpose as a tactic. It worked though, the titans defence was just smothering all game. The Raiders had no room, no time to do anything. Even with all the field position we couldn't do anything with it.

Ricky Stuart... The Great Coach and saviour of the Canberra raiders...:lol: No wonder he really wants Milford to stay, his only tactic is pass it to Milford and see what happens.
