Is it still an ambush when it's so predictable? This is a really disappointing performance. Raiders are playing effective round one football and we are not.

A lot of weird things have gone against us but we're losing the plot now. Gagai just dying with the ball on the last tackle after they checked the Marzhew try tells the story.

Kicking game another big difference. We haven't even tried to put pressure on their back three or earn repeat sets. All we do is hand the ball over. They actually try to get a result, and they get them.

Extremely disappointing game. This is a bog standard Raiders team playing bog average, safe footy. Most other sides would've dispatched them tonight.

The last tackle plays especially in attacking positions have been abhorrent, credit to the raiders they came in as a big underdog and put their best foot forward, unfortunately it looks like we were busy reading our own press during the pre season

That's definitely all she wrote now

Blown out in our home opener dreadful performance, Hopefully last season's run doesn't turn out to be a fluke

Raiders showing us what was needed tonight. Earn the right, get into good positions, and THEN the opportunities to score will come. We played like someone said before the game we had to win it 18+. We never did any of the hard work.
