Did Chris Lawrence pick up an injury in the last minute there? Looked like he was clutching his ribs after Whitehead hit him.

That would really put the icing on a shit sandwich for the Tigers.

hes running some decent lines though and forcing half breaks
least hes not in the centres

I should see a counsellor for supporting a football team? You're a bit of a weirdo mate lol
Maybe you should consider changing your team, given how much angst supporting the current one is clearly causing you.

I'd suggest Wests Tigers, but the Titans would be a good choice too.

You've been sitting on this for over a week, haven't you? Not good for your mental health. Maybe you should discuss with your counsellor the guilt associated with supporting a football team with excessive privileges, that doesn't even have to make an effort to win every week.

The Raiders conceded 40 last week.

Plus we are flat track bullies over the last few years. Occasionally we put a beating on a shitty side. Let's see the raiders back it up.

Feel very sorry for Tigers fans atm. And happy for Raiders fans at the same time.

Chin up Tigers fans. At least it wasn't as bad as when i travelled down to Bruce Stadium, on an absolutely icy cold but sunny day (i had icicles in my hair i swear to god), to watch Mal Meninga single-handedly slaughter us Roosters 66-4. Mal scored 38 points, 5 tries 9 goals. It was a painful butchering :lol: Roosters fans had 20 years of shit in the 80s,90s so I know how u feel.

But gee Canberra are good to watch when they play like that. Happy for the long-suffering Raiders fans.

Anyway, as to this game, sometimes everything just goes pear shaped and all the opposition's passes stick. It's happened to other teams coming to this joint, but not for a while now.

Hence you have a score like 60-6 when really the two sides aren't that far apart in ability.

I only watched the last 25 minutes but felt for the Wests Tigers because they could not take a single trick in this game, while the Raiders looked twice as big, twice as fast, and twice as skilful.

Those seeking to compare this to last week's 53-0 result could not be more wrong.
