2022 FW2 SF Fri - Parramatta 40-4 Canberra @ CommBank

[Bazal]

Elliot Whitehead looks like he's smashed 300 cones.since full time.

How did anyone manage a HIA on that man

 

[skeepe]

Are Penrith now the only team left without a bald player or coach? Unreal.

He's only ok but he is sexy

It's choke time for Parra. Moses likely to be missing, Canberra flying high after shipping the Scum off on their own turf, and BA always one sneeze away from hitting the bricks.

Please tip the Cowboys next week

Given where we were at early on I'm pretty happy with the season overall. Tarps, Young, Kris all improved greatly, the Simple/Fog combo has potential and we have some good young guys to put pressure on the backs(looking at you intensely Cotric). We need to hit the market for a good lock and and a decent backup fullback though.

But we knocked out the scum in Victoriania so I can't be too sad.

and probably an attacking coach too that can come up with something more than "give it to wighton and go left"

 

[Reflector]

Have you seen how sexy their bald coach is? Those eyes are dreamy as f**k

Have you ever looked into his eyes?

It was like the first time I heard The Beatles!

 

[Sparkles 2001]

Woolford is not an nrl level player by any stretch

 

[Sparkles 2001]

Pretty disappointing for a finals game, you want a close game. That was an absolute shellacking

 

[This Year?]

10 weeks ago I'm sure any Raiders fan would have taken a week 2 final exit after knocking the Storm out. Losing like that in finals sucks but they still have my respect, adoration and envy. They got killed early by offloads and ran way too many overs tonight against a team who were hotter than @SLRBRONCOS and @hineyrulz combined.
I laughed when Savage got clean bowled and cheered when he put those lovely steps on to get into space. I really hope Ricky doesn't f**k his development up because his speed even through the change of direction is insane. I thought the viking clapping towards the end was in poor taste even if imitation is the best form of flattery and RL fans are generally more thick skinned than players.

Massive ask for Parra to back up this kind of performance away next week, but IMO they are very well deserved preliminary finalists.

 

[THE CHAMP]

It is physically impossible for anything to be uglier than Peter Dutton.

The Broncos attacking game came close the last couple of months

What has been lost in the aftermath of the crushing defeat last night is the fact Canberra played 9 matches from R14 onwards against teams that finished in the bottom 8. A charmed run for the second half of the season even though Ricky made it sound as if they climbed Everest to sneak into the 8. Most of those sides are travelling like absolute busteds.

Did the Stick man find where Papa and Tapine went last night?

Like I said last night we are a rabble with our structure. Stick still hasn't adjusted to the post 2020 rule changes. That's 3 full seasons now that we have been knocked out. Just unbelievable how he doesn't get the game has changed

According to nrl.com tapine had 11 runs for 130m and 60m of it post contact. It's pretty comical that this is the game you think vindicates you seething about him all year. Thats better output than most props could generate in a game where they had 40 % of the ball.

Tapine owns you again lad.

 

[YoHadrian]

Parra too good all over the park & Canberra had no answers to Parra's very effective game plan. It was effectively over halfway through the first half. Raiders did well to get this far & any team that knocks out the Storm can't be too displeased with how their season has gone.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Full credit to raiders fans though they always bring a friendly atmosphere whenever they play. And they stayed to the end. The green really stands out when they are bunched together.

I know we take the piss out of the Viking clap but there fans take it in good spirits.

There premiership drought is as old as me though 28 years and we do need a team to stick with us at parra in that long premiership drought. We don't want to be all alone as the only team in the past 25-30 years without a premiership

Yeah it was a very poor effort in the middle by Canberra. Absolutely dominated by the Parra pack who, to be fair, don’t have any world beaters.

RCG dominated in the middle and Pauli played great support. Listening to the hype in the media during the week, it was supposed to be the other way around.

Pop.

They were caught behind the school toilets sneaking their first kiss....

The only thing Tapine owns is a rest until March next year.

RCG - 12 runs for 190m and a couple blokes sent for HIA.

A monumental effort for a second rate prop.

Personally raiders were only going to win by playing through the middle. Yet they tried to play it wide and parra play that game better than most teams. Cowboys will be playing it straight through the middle next week and parra will be punished.
