2018 R2 Sun - Raiders 28-30 Knights @ GIO

[_snafu_]

Ennis sounds even tougher when a try is scored.

 

[Someguy]

Raiders really need to get up in pongas face, this back away and watch tactic ain't working.

Can't believe Crocker is captain, barely first grade quality at the moment

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

hello i just woke up from a coma from 10 minutes ago. i assume the raiders are still winning

I've got some bad news

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Same shit different week ‍

Such a rubbish team.

 

[Misanthrope]

Ponga has played about half a dozen 1st grade games.

Wtf will he be like after 100?

This dude is the heir to the throne of the greats of today like JT Smith and Slater.

I don't like to buy into hyperbole, but he does look like he'll be special.

Touch wood that injuries and attitude don't become an issue.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Wow! This Newcastle side can come up with points when needed.

Not the gritty defense of the Tigers, but still a lot of heart like them, underdogs for years but fighting to the end.

Settle down a bit. They are playing the faders

 

[roboshark]

Cue ashley klein

 

[Hutty1986]

You know the defence is shitenhousen when Pearce can set up tries

 

[Pete Cash]

ponga has looked good but traditionally players like ponga do really well against canberra because for whatever reason we hang off tackling guys

 

[Noname36]

Knights are better structured in attack than about 13 teams.

Considering they have 9 new players Brown and Mick Potter have done a really wonderful job.

I still think we'll lose this though lol

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

"Finding their front.."

 

[mongoose]

don't worry, we always win the close one in the last few minutes ....oh wait..

 

[butchmcdick]

If the raiders lose this I’d love to see Ennis do his mock Viking clap one more time

 

[Hutty1986]

Definitely still another try in the raiders, from anywhere. You feel theres more points coming, knights need another one
Edit-and theres the hometown penalty

He was our MVP against Manly too with Pearce. Kid is the real deal.

 

[Pete Cash]

the distribution of ball is garbage

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, great last tackle option deadbeats.

 

[wibble]

Settle down a bit. They are playing the faders

Hah!

And haven't won yet. And often beat you guys.

But did this last week as well to a team that put on 50 today.

And the way they play looks exciting, looks like they could score at any time.

 

[Hutty1986]

Should have been a penalty for holding down Ponga for 12 weeks

Yeah I'll reserve judgment until he's played a full season.
He's very talented but we couldn't match what he wanted.
Wish him well.
