2024 R11 MAGIC Fri - Canberra 24-20 Canterbury @ Suncorp

[Vic Mackey]

I thought the right team won, Canberra had more aggression, determination and direction. No need to whinge about the ref

Even though Hutch is slow, he didn't cost them the game and in fact threw some great passes to set stuff up. they just seemed clueless as a team in combating the Canberra mongrel.

Rapana still reigns supreme as the dirtiest player in the game

Hutch was better then Burton imo, he really offers very little as a 5/8. Left foot step or kick. Dont think Ive ever seen the guy throw a pass for a line break.

Dogs have now played 3 teams this year that have had 11 men at some stage. Certainly been KOTD on occasions, last night will likley cost them any chance of playing finals.

 

[This Year?]

The NRL will be a sad empty place without Jordan Rapana.
That Preston try was one of the jewels in the chaos crown.

Thankfully we've moved away from that dour grindball from last year. It was so painful to watch even when we were winning those close games. Great to have the wacky raiders back with Sir Jordan Rapana doing his crazy shit.

Jordan Rapana has enough time to get sent off, try to get sent off again, lose you the game and then win it 3 times while racking up 200m a line break, 6 tackle breaks and then win you the game with goalkicking despite clearly being a 65% kicker skill wise. Measured in normal human achievements Jordan Rapana is older than Yoda.

Ref and bunker in Green for this game

Savage offside for first kick - Not looked at
Double knock on for second try - Not looked at
Were Raiders coached to illegally take Kikau out of the game. He was clearly no good after coming back on
Rapana should have been binned or sent a 2nd time for the professional foul.

that said, that was the worst game Dogs have played this year
