Excellent half from the Raiders. Ricky has caught the Knights with their pants down. Sense of occasion is getting to them.

If the Knights can get their left edge attack humming then we might see it even up.

There's going to be some really annoyed Knights fans getting some hot chips at half time. My heart goes out to those workers right now.

they might need something a bit stronger than the salt they sprinkle all over them

Valentine will get them sorted

A lot will be made about whether this finals series will be Jack's last time playing for the Raiders.

But we all know they won't be able to resist signing him to a 2 year contract at age 38.

Canberra weren't the only team with a soft draw.

Gee the Knights benefited from a soft run home.

Dogs x 2, Dragons, Tigers and Dolphins in last 9 games.

Beat Melbourne, Sharks and Souths at home were quality.

But more then half there winning streak was bottom 4 teams.

I fear (for the sake of the contest) that Knights will run away with it with the benefit of the wind in the second half.

Of course, that is what all the neutrals want.

Yet the bloke letting them down has played in a GF, 20 origins and half a dozen tests.

This is very funny right now

still think the knights win and by 13+ if I’m honest but knights fans apoplectic at halftime is really tickling me just so

Kick early, turn around the Raiders. Knights should be fine.

Cmon guys we don't know what really happened.

Can we please not stick our noses into this and shelve these conversations for now......

Credit where credit is due. Given the outs that first half was impressive from the Raiders - probably should be 22-6.
