2024 R18 Sun - Canberra 12-16 Newcastle @ GIO

[Vic Mackey]

Good win for the knights. Haven’t looked at their draw but with Ponga back they’d be a decent shot to jump into the 8

 

[Chief_Chujo]

I think the physics of it (hitting the back of his arm) would suggest it went backwards but again we are dreadful in attack with very bad structure and that's a much bigger issue

For your own sake, don't try and explain physics to someone from Newcastle

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Origin spot on the line and Best plays like a f**king womble

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Canberra fans can blame Strange for that loss. Twice he had a chance put Timoko away for a try and decided to try and take the glory for himself.

This is one of the worst takes I've ever seen on this forum

 

[t-ba]

Blud he's 19. Losing this game isn't a huge deal in the scheme of things. He needs to get smarter but we lost the game because stick is a shit coach not because a kid took two bad options

The bigger that bald patch gets the worse he's gonna get sadly.

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Raiders have gone from 7-5 to 7-9 losing to Cowboys (H), Tigers (A), Storm (A) and Knights (H).. opportunity lost because that's a pretty easy 4 game run.

 

[mozza91]

It was 11th v 12th.. what do you expect lol

We played worse than we did against your mob. There’s playing bad and then there’s what we put up today. Disgraceful.

 

[to_ddeath]

I feel that Prickly Ricky will be storming off like that after 800 games with the Faders at this rate…

He’ll want to pick up his game he was dogshit today

But is it wrong?

 

[Chief_Chujo]

But is it wrong?

Yes, 100%. If you think Strange is responsible for that loss you have absolutely zero idea of the game.

If they aren't making the finals again by 2026 they need to get rid of him... apart from the few years where he had a gun squad the Raiders have missed the finals almost every year.

 

[Apey]

We did our best to try to lose that. Ponga up and down on his return but will only get better.

Yep our 4 worst games this year have easily been the 2 against the Raiders and the 2 against the Dogs. The one against the Roosters was bad too.

I can see why we’d be shit today. Starting hooker and lock out, 2 complete rookies, Ponga just back, both wingers injured during the game…but still, I’m pretty mad at that performance. We were just lucky the Raiders were worse.

 

[skeepe]

I hope Ricky absolutely blows up in the press conference. That was an absolute f**king disgrace.

The best team lost tonight, and it is entirely Gerard Sutton’s fault. He decided the winner today, because if it was up to the players then the Raiders win by 10.

If Gerard Sutton referees at any level next week then we know that the NRL signed off on this result. And that means they’re happy with either complete and utter incompetence, or worse.

I have not been this f**king angry after a game in a long, long time.

First Knights try off a high tackle penalty so bad Barry Gommersall would blush.

Second Knights try off a forward pass that Tom Brady would be proud of.

Third Knights try after the Raiders had a forward pass call against them so bad I’d be checking the touchie’s bank account.

Then we have Papa taken late off the ball, Savage called for a knock on after one look when he clearly didn’t, a disgusting strip penalty against Strange that was horrifically confirmed by the cretin in the bunker, and 0 set restarts to us in the last 60 minutes despite constant holding down and ruck interference.

I honestly don’t know why I bother with NRL anymore. Horrifically bad officiating is killing our game. Look at last night. The Warriors lose in golden point after having a clear and obvious penalty completely ignored by both the onfield ref and the bunker. As a result the Bulldogs unjustly have 2 more points on the ladder, the Warriors 2 less.

How can anyone have confidence in the game with the level of incompetence at all levels?

What a joke.

 

[Westernised Panther]

Yes, 100%. If you think Strange is responsible for that loss you have absolutely zero idea of the game.

And what if Strange actually passed to Timoko for one of those chances? What would the score be?

I love you more than my children

 

[mozza91]

I always look to Skeepe for a fair and balanced critique of the officiating.

What if? You can play that game for endless moments. What if Hoppa actually defended? But go ahead and drop another laughing emoji while no one agrees with you.

Keep going, I'm almost there.
