I’m happy with that. We fought hard, came back and I honestly believe if this game wasn’t in f**king Townsville at 4:30 in the afternoon, we would have won.

The conditions and the tackling we did in the first half just proved too much in the end, they knew they had to run better plays that last set but every single player was f**ked.

The only thing that would have made it better would have been for Feldt to get knocked the f**k out.

Now, on to Redcliffe next week at… 4:30 in the afternoon. f**k you NRL.

Redcliffe don’t have a team mate, they’re officially known as “The”.

First try we conceded was soft. Nanai dropped off the tackle.

Second try was lucky.

Third try was miscommunication. We did well to hold them to just 12 points in the second half.

It'd be great to know how the doctor thought CHN needed a HIA assessement for a tackle that the bunker cleared as no head contact. Someone f**ked up.

And ill state clearly CHN needed to come off with a HIA. A shoulder directly to the jaw requires an assessment. It also requires a penalty and perhaps given it was also probably slightly late, a sin bin... or at least it was a sin bin 12 months ago. But it is what it is. We got our share of breaks too.

Overall not too upset with that, the Raiders dug deep but the first half took it's toll and they just had fatigue errors in key moments that could have swung the game.

Could say the same with Drinkwater and Rapana I guess??

You could. I think that was pretty reckless but i dont think i dont think it was like for like... i think rapana will be cited for that
I bet Fedlt wont.

I have to watch the replay as I was at the game and missed the incident with Feldt you're talking about mate.

Well if the takeaway from that win is;

DO NOT use the short line drop out restart,

Then it's a good lesson.

Jesus Christ, in what parallel universe is that EVER a good option when you're in front?

And not once but TWICE. In a code where doing the high percentage stuff well is usually rewarded that , to me, is spectacularly dumb.

And it appears to be becoming almost the first option at times.

It's no longer a surprise.

I noticed Penrith were setting up when receiving with extra players on the ten metre line waiting for the short drop out.

well I was wrong
Feldt was charged for his shot… which was indeed a shoulder to the head of CHN, that rightly required a HIA, but yet was somehow cleared by the bunker
Round 1 and these f**king idiots in the bunker are already f**king up the simplest of things

Rapana got three weeks for his shoulder charge.

No penalty from ref or bunker, let alone sin bin. Zip.

We're in for a long year of incompetence.
