2017 R20 Sat - Raiders 14-20 Storm @ GIO

[LESStar58]

In all my years watching footy I'd say that's the first time in my life I've seen a kick at goal declined.

Would love to know the Raiders strike rate at home since the horn/clap were introduced

Getting the horn can lead to the clap... not that I'd know.

Why does it bother you? Do you hate when someone does something different to everyone else?

What happened with Slater?

Soliola took him out late high
Knocked him out cold ...carried off on medicab.
Looked f**ked
merkin should've been sent off.
Gets put on report and plays the whole game.
Meanwhile Munster gets ten in the bin for a pro foul.

f**k cooper cronk.

I would turn gay for him. He's dreamy.

That's a great win for the Storm. Losing Smith and Slater halfway through the game, along with the refs giving the raiders every opportunity they could possibly get. Also the third game in a row the Storm have had a player sin binned. Great win

It's not different
It's an exact copy

Raiders are f**king dumb as dog poo

That was very unfair to Dog Poo.

What happened with Slater?

Sioiola tried to transport Slater's head across to the other side of Lake Ginninderra.

1 in the bin

i will eat my computer if we score in 5 seconds

what realistically will happen is we will miss the 8 by 2 points on F/A

Thing is,if they bottle the attitude what they did out there tonight,and with any other team not certainties in winning,the Raiders are still in this IMO.

Although they lost,this could be the game that turns it all around.

Thanks Pops.

Best part of this win is Canberra have to win one extra game to reach the finals.
Refs were shocking! So many crowd penalties and then not sending Sia off was a joke. Sure no intent but if you tackle someone late then him slipping over and you knocking him out is a consequence therefore you get sent off.
Also, Canberra kickers should give themselves an uppercut kicking to Vunivalu all the time. Haven't they heard about him!

Harsh but fair assessment of his Origin debut....

True. But he still has an Origin series win.

In 2/19ths the games of Pearce.

They could've drop kicked it over.

why wouldn't he get 10 for the professional foul though. even if the ref bottled it on the sia high shot.

There should be a 5 minute sin bin brought in for any deliberate penalty (the classic reset the defensive line penalty) and 10 minutes for any the refs believe the attacking team has been robbed of a chance at a try.

as a matter of course

 

[Pedge1971]

There will be some hurting

Oh yes. Lots of hurtin......

 

[The_Shield]

Thanks Pops.

No worries IBM

I'm just exposing the absolute geniusness of rules in this game

Anyway
Raiders are done
Poetic justice.
Karma
Whatever you want to call it.
