Gameday - Warriors v Raiders

[Blair]

OK, so Charnze dropped a momentum shifter, but that Canberra try was down to that Warrior jamming up in our ten/twenty.

8-6, six mins to the break. Papa has been strong since he came on. We might not have the grunt to contain him.

A great run of defence, holding out till halftime...undone by a head-shaker by Pompey. Offside at the last goaline drop-out! Only two given away though.

Eight-all, halftime.

You mean DWZ AGAIN showing he can't defend for shit?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

WTF

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Hopefully Adam Gee realises the crowd aren’t there to see him in the 2nd half

 

[nswarrior]

That is stupid to give the 2 points away like that. To be fair very unlike Pompey.

Webster again not using the bench much

 

[Blair]

WTF.

YEP.

 

[nswarrior]

We were going so well. 8-0 up and Corey in the bin. We stopped played through the middle after the sun binning and Raiders back to equalise,

In these conditions we need to win the middle

Nah, Ali rushed up first and dropped off initial tackle. Put DWZ in a no-win situation

DWZ has had a solid half. That wasn’t on him

 

[nswarrior]

Come on Warriors, we can do this

 

[JJ]

CNK’s stats continue to look solid, but…

In these conditions we need to win the middle.

I saw Clark give it to Papa a bit so there's hope.

 

[Blair]

The crowd's gone quiet because Canberra have come out the more fired-up side.

 

[Blair]

Action-packed five minutes. Dallin nearly latches on to a cheeky, pin-point, Clark bomb. Then Ford down with a tap to the nose. We take an easy two.

10-8.

...ball retention is critical, but Leka spills it. We survive the ensuing set but it was a dud Raiders last play that made it quite easy.

...see, our big home crowd are roaring at any Canberra mistake! Beautiful. Could bring us home.

Charnze binned. Tough call? Raiders level up. 10-all, 18 mins left.

 

[Izz]

We've started dropping off tackles. This could get messy

Charnze back on. 16-10 down. We know what has to happen next.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Gee is having an absolute shocker, both ways

 

[Blair]

16-10, Canberra. Final.

A bitter loss. We had nothing inside their ten.

 

[nswarrior]

Tough loss. Hard without your 2 leaders and best mids in these conditions

How many mistakes did Halasima make?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Real battle there, conditions not great for attacking play and both sides aimed up in defence. Gee didn’t help the flow of the game at all either

Felt the Warriors got a bit caught up in the Raiders niggle and played into their hands a bit. Didn’t like Egan’s option taking on attack at the end of it

CHT, I’m still not sold, seems like the only time you notice him is when he is dinking attacking kicks up on the last

The NZ coverage and Larmer never improve do they
