Hopefully the journos get to the bottom of the late withdrawal of Papa and Tapine in Sticky’s press conference.

Raiders really missed the world’s best props tonight.
This is either poor trolling, or you exposing yourself as an absolutely awful judge of rugby league.

It’s pretty simple. We didn’t have any ball while they were on the field. They did all they could, gave us good go forward whenever we had the ball, and were probably our best players. Tapine still ran for 134 metres, but he also made 40 tackles which is far more than you want your props making.

The difference tonight was the halves - Fogerty, playing in his first finals series, was a bit over-awed and Wighton probably overcompensated if anything. Brown and Moses were on fire and they were the difference in the end.

Raiders were average not sure about poor. Parras performance not sure if it was brilliant or fluke, the offloads and play off the back of those offloads would beat any team. Not sure it is possible to produce those results consistently

Ehhhh the offloads came from the space the Raiders allowed us.

Not sure the Cows give us the same leeway. Penrith defs wouldn't

No need to get upset Elliott there’s plenty of 40 point thumpings in your near future.
I mean if he’s that upset he could have just re-signed with the club that gave him a lifeline instead of taking the big payday at the first opportunity.

Hodgson is pretty busted so he can't engage the markers out of dummy half any more. So he is too easy to defend.

Starling is speedy out of dummy half and woolford is serviceable at passing. Maybe if they could combine into one player lol
If you combined them you would probably get someone with Woodford’s dart out of dummy half and Starling’s service. Essentially Sione Katoa.

Adam Elliott the big loss for the Raiders tonight. He could have filled in admirably in the middle to make up for the loss of the world’s best prop pairing.

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.
