f**k you, football

 

[lockyno1]

Only Newcastle could lose it like that!

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

What the hell was that?!

 

[DiegoNT]

Honestly how good is rugby league!
Last night's sharks comeback, the atmosphere after the game, today's game, feel so bad for Knights but happy for raiders.

 

[Snappy]

I first checked the score at 35 mins at 22-0. Still knew Raiders would win

 

[Pete Cash]

Best young man of the match in the game.

We stole that one thank f**k

 

[Twatface Magee]

That's the most entertaining game I have seen in a long time.

 

[Barkley]

Bad luck Newcastle...that's a heart breaker

Why do teams not take a shot when in perfect position just because it's not the 79th minute? Seen it so many times this year. Newcastle take the easy point instead of giving Rapana catching practice they probably win the game.

I was screaming at the TV for the FG from the 60th minute.

I got to say that young cogger worked his balls off defending papalii. Impressed me with his effort.

Was very impressed too. Barnett is a good pick up as well.

To the Newcastle fans, life is just not fair. Any team that dishes up a first 30 like that doesn't deserve the win, particularly after a draw earlier in the year. On the plus side, you still have a team that gives a shit. Ultimately outclassed but preparation and enthusiasm put you in a position to win. Bring that attitude into games and you'll eventually start seeing some wins.

The Dragons nearly butchered the Canberra game at Kogarah by declining to take a shot in perfect field position. Thankfully Wighton spared our blushes that night.

 

[Apey]

Closest we'll get to winning another game this year.

Sack Gagai

Must have brought back memories of Friday night mate, seeing a team getting flogged like that.

We're finding new ways to lose, that was heartbreaking. If Elliot gets picked for First Grade next week I'll be willing to pay someone to go after him Tonya Harding style.

Too much risk of a 7 tackle set these days considering most teams kick them at about 25%.

 

[McLovin]

Just saw the highlights...dear oh dear Knights....

71st minute or so Newcastle were 10 out and right in front.
No excuse to not take a shot and try put themselves 7 in front.
