2016 Wk 2 Semi - Raiders 22-12 Panthers @ GIO Stadium

[Surely]

That was shithouse from Cummins. Never allowed Panthers to play fast except for about 10 mins and of course we scored 12 points in that time. Because the game was getting close he found a way to stop the momentum again with more biased crap penalties and farsical decisions. Totally blame him for the loss

blame the pennies for dropping the ball too often

18 points start just too much. But just for a few minutes there, the Raiders looked vulnerable and the crowd were quiet.

Until Fusher-Smuth decided to give the Raiders the leg ups.

Him and Cartwright had games they would rather have forgotten.

I think the Raiders will win comfortably. Home ground advantage & looked better last week - just lost to a determined Sharks whereas the Panthers beat an ordinary Dogs, taking a while to get on top of them.

Raiders 13+. I think they'd be better served resting Hodgson too btw...save him for Melbourne.

Got the important bit right.

Raiders were always gunna win!

As soon as Cummins was named ref

You weren't good enough.

Good, but not good enough.

Bad luck Panthers. You still have a lot of improvement left in this squad, it's just the Raiders time right now.

 

[carcharias]

Haha the Sharks? How on earth do you see them making it?

I think we match up great against the storm, but get why you're on them, but no chance Sharks beat the cows

Heard that last week ... When we had to go to Canberra .

 

[Pete Cash]

The panthers are actually the perfect team for the raiders to play in these circumstances (ie a derpfest)

We are quite similar teams but we are better at the moment so if the panthers decide to derp it up with us we will likely win

 

[BuddPanther]

We

You weren't good enough.

Good, but not good enough.

Not not good enough and being allowed to play good enough by dipshit Cummins was the difference

This panthers mob is going to be a hell of a team next year
Very good season for them. Very likeable team

Big kudos to the panthers fans who come down in numbers. Great stuff

raiders dominated the game and were the much better team. Our forwards were absolutely excellent. Wasn't until the panthers started getting wild with offloads that they troubled us, once they got going they had me very worried

On to Melbourne, nothing to lose. Go raiders

Hahaha what a sore loser.

 

[Red Bear]

Raiders were excellent first half without finishing the job. Second Half they got far too pass happy, made it very hard for themselves.

Penriths attack was pretty flat all night, maybe last week took a bit out of them. Running side to side a lot.

Vaughan did well. Paulo had a good game. Impressed by Cleary's calmness under pressure, but his kicking game was just a tad off. That Panthers side has a pretty bright future I would think

 

[Card Shark]

didbt you see last week's game

 

[Card Shark]

Or last night....

 

[Card Shark]

Or rounds 4-18?

 

[The Moist Captain]

This game was a bit of a let down for me. I was looking forward to this match all week but the conditions probably killed any chance of an open and expansive game.

Panthers' game management was awful but raiders fans won't care. Looked like a great atmosphere.

Raiders will have to be back to their best to beat the storm next week.

Whilst I accept that Canberra were the better side on the night I still need somebody to explain to me how we can be only 9W and 24L under Ben Cummins. To use Geoff Toovey's words - We need an investigation!
It is now at the point where you see his name as the referee and you know it is nigh impossible to win! He reminds me of a referee from the 70's - Don McDonald. He was another one you knew we had very little chance under.
