2017 R8 Fri - Raiders 18-20 Sea Eagles @ GIO

[wibble]

The problem skeepe is that we arent a smart team at the best of times. If we lose the plot because a bunch of grown men got angry at the opposition we will play even more idiotic.

Coaches will be sending players out to rile us up

I know the Sharks drive most you Canberra fans crazy with our antics, but we (the team, there is no help for us supporters) do it because it works.

We were a very dumb side too a little while ago (before Maloney and Ennis, they are master baiters, as it were, so we don't fall for that much any more), but a couple of spine leaders fixes that.

Exactly

If we want to be contenders we need to control our emotion and put it into running hard or hitting hard.

Manly played the perfect game in beating us imo.

Not many mistakes
Kick the ball out to stop our backs getting a roll on
Frustrate us

Its amazing the Raiders do so well without a real spine.

Dylan Walker started it, I have absolutely no problem with the Raiders responding to his merkininess

Hahahahahahahaha

You never fail to deliver.

They were a bunch of dicks and karma bit them on the arse.

Fair decision on the held up too.

Have a lovely weekend.

It's a blueprint.

Raiders need to learn to counter it or other teams will follow suit. Getting frustrated does not appear to be part of the solution

 

[Nice Beaver]

Don't know why, just have a gut feeling we could spring the upset here.

Could just be the butter chicken I had for lunch playing up on me.

Manly by 4.

Thought that butter chicken was legit.

 

[mave]

Refs were equally shit for both sides to be honest.

 

[Pete Cash]

There were a few weird calls.

I think it was a pretty high quality game with a fair bit of niggle in the ruck. Those games can be pretty random about what the refs call lost ball and strips

 

[mave]

Agreed Pete.

Still think Raiders should have been awarded the try that shaved the grass, especially as the ref sent it up as TRY.

Also think the Tommy T pass was backwards.

Still confused why Rapana got the penalty after playing the ball the wrong way, but I guess Raiders fans can point to a few dodgy penaltys to us too.

Quality game anyway. Great how it opened up after 50 mins when defences tired.

Raiders should be top 6 minimum at the end of the year, no question. Top 4 with some luck.

Very whistle happy tonight. Let the boys play!

 

[Spot On]

Is it fair to say the best young centre in the game was wearing a Manly jersey tonight?

 

[JamesRustle]

Come back to me when you have a basic grasp of sarcasm

Clap, clap

The Rapana one was a late call for being tipped on his head. Was a soft one but technically correct.

You can't conclusively say Paulo didn't brush the grass, so you can't take that one away. Cost us the game.

How Manly didn't have anyone binned after conceding 5 penalties in 5 minutes boggles the mind.

Yep it had a lot of niggle in the ruck didn't it??

Some strange calls each way and too many as well.

Enjoyable game despite the refs sticking their bibs in.

I think we need to ask the NRL for more away games lol

Did you read what I said. ?

Hard to read when you are frothing at the mouth, rabid.

 

[skeepe]

I did. I wasn't arguing with you.

 

[mave]

And just on the Rapana penalty...

The ref only blew the penalty after he played the ball the wrong direction. If it was a penalty for a tipping penalty then it would have been blown straight away, well before the play of the ball.

They didn't bother blowing a penalty to Tafua 5 mins earlier for a similar incident, so who knows ?

Inconsistency at it's usual standards from the NRL.

wrong thread!
