2016 Wk 1 Qual Final - Raiders 14-16 Sharks @ GIO Stadium

[Spot On]

Raiders were apparently white hot this week but conceded 6 tries against an also ran side last week.

Now there's a man who knows his footy. Great observation.

 

[Surely]

Great game, commiserations raiders fans

 

[Pete Cash]

The game changed when Hodgson got injured. The Raiders go forward stopped, Leilua disappeared and the team didn't know how to respond.

Well yeah hes our best player but you guys defended great and beat us in the forwards when paulo and boyd went off

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

So turns out I was wrong.

Oho really

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Whiteheads flop head high tackle gave Sharks the lead.

Williams stuffed up at the end but he didnt give Sharks the lead.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Bird giving it to the crowd too.

They must have copped some during the match.

Possibly

Or it could be that they're just complete merkins

 

[Pete Cash]

Whiteheads high shot was a blunder no doubt but he was solid in attack. Sezer and williams really went missing.

A little from column A, a little from column B

I know the viking clap is silly (and not even original) but its good for the game for fans to get involved. Might make someone go to the game instead of sitting at home

that's the problem having the big boys on the same rotation.
Vaughan playing instead of priest would have helped mitigate that

Cheers surely. You guys defended great. Won the game keeping us to two tries early on

Yeah I didnt see most of the match thanks to the All Blacks but I saw that as the turning point. 5th tackle and he gave it away...

 

[some11]

Good game. Much better than the Broncos gifted win yesterday

Yeah at least the baffling decisions went both ways tonight like they normally do.

 

[Mr Angry]

Might see you in gf,

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Wow! Close game, huge crowd, came down to a kick...

I hope those people who sulked over to the Afl last night took notice tonight.

Actually, I wonder if they noticed the thrashing in the Afl the night before?

I agree its an absolute puzzler

Vaughan is better than priest its just a fact

 

[ek999]

Absolute cracker of a match. One of the best of the year

I'm filthy with sezer.
his job is to organise the attack, yet so often he goes missing or is out of position.

 

[shaggs]

I think the viking chant is stupid but an experienced player like Ennis shouldn't be openly disincentivising a bit of fan engagement, something the sport sorely lacks at the game.

That's a bit rough. They just got sprayed by the crowd for the past 80 minutes plus warm up. all the games I ever played at Canberra stadium and worked at were second only to the manly crowd in spraying the opposite team

I thought anytime Vaughns not playing its cos hes injured. Hes one of your teams hardmen.
