2018 R12 Fri - Raiders 21-20 Sea Eagles @ GIO

Raiders have played a lot better than that in a few of their losses surely? Glad they won for my tips and a LOL@Eagles

Meh,you take what you can get. Poor suffering Raiders fans deserve a bit of luck to go their way.

Look the refs have no f**king clue so you might as well just shrug your shoulders at them. It's an uncontrollable variable like the rain or the wind or a Lava Flow suddenly emerging on the 20m line.

Turbo did everything he could in that situation, it was a fantastic kick

He needed to wrap up the ball, which he didn't do. Very lucky not to be scored against.

The Raiders are very ordinary and fortunate they weren't playing a top 8 side, they should have been done there. That performance after a dismal few weeks isn't anything to celebrate.

Mate we spent like 15 minutes self destructing on the field and only tied it up with a pretty freakish try. We are WAAAAAY off the pace and got some good calls by the refs (including a shocker by the touchie who was literally looking right at Joey)

but gotta take the wins when I can get them

Wrap up the ball do what? go into touch?

He'd really benefit from an ace like Brett Stewart helping him out. Shame about that whole poisoned well thing.

I can't remember a less reliable full time fullback for Manly. A guy like Chopper Reeves was a bit of a donkey but did well under the high ball and compensated for his lack of speed by being in the right place more often than not.

It's a lose/win thingy for me...

For two weeks I've had to stop my Barrett hating...

I CAN START AGAIN...Lewis Brown selection, Uate future selection, discipline and use of interchange

 

[Exsilium]

There is literally nothing anyone could have done with that kick

Dufty would have run over there, set up a picnic table, written a haiku and whispered sensual words to the ball in the same time.

Game management.

We've got a million dollar man who should be in his prime and a solid closer like Hodkinson and that's the best they can do?

There was only 2 possible outcomes from that play involving Turbo there, he either grounds it in goal or he goes into touch, both give Canberra the box seat to win the game, it was a great kick.. nothing he could've done there

Manly didn't close the game and gave the Raiders the opportunity to pull it off. Fair's fair in the end.

That would have done. It was luck and nothing else that a try was not scored.

 

[eagles4eva]

We'll more than likely play the Cowboys into form next Friday...

I forgot in Greenburgs NRL, all teams need to beat the opposition and the refs.

Well in Raiders.

I've no idea how Castle and Greenberg, the two administrators who have epically mismanaged the dogs find themselves in charge of Rugby of both stripes in Australia.

A plethora of candidates for the Carige from Manly.
Uate, Turbo, Winterstein, Hokko.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Dugan on the wing? Nahhh.

I dont really care about the winger. Dugan has the skills to play there and thats a no brainer. I just wanna see Mitchell and Roberts as centres seen Dugan there at centre and no good as QLD won the series (which is good).

 

[eagles4eva]

Joey Lussuick had a blinder last week for Blacktown...A decent coach would have selected him rather than a miss-tackling plod like brown & why the hell play Wright as the interchange rake....WTF

The arseclown has made his bed with that selection, stating he will not be considered again this year...

Just dumb from a coach to make that sort of declaration in the media...
