Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Canberra @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

Falling apart here. Can't say I'm surprised

 

[Knight Tales]

So much right undone by the worst of the worst. Two of the softest tries you will ever see.

Aiming up again now. Good set

Falling apart here. Can't say I'm surprised

The Raiders are no strangers to shitting the bed either. Could get really messy.

Actually trying to get Best the ball is a nice change

Ordinary set in good position. Love the 4th tackle settler by a prop inside the ten.

 

[K-Man]

And so it continues. The silly mistakes at the wrong end. Hunt has fallen off a cliff, he makes so many soft errors these days.

 

[Jono078]

Dom Young has to come in for Hunt next week.

Young and Marzhew is our best wing combo by far when on their games.

This game sucks.

 

[Tom155]

Greedy hero play from Hetherington

 

[K-Man]

We virtually don't even have a short kicking game. We don't even try.

 

[Jono078]

f**k we've let them get out of what should be tough positions, veeeery easily!

 

[Tom155]

Raiders 2pt fg to end the half shit

 

[Jono078]

We deserve to concede those 2 points based on how easily we let them out of their own 1m line with 50 seconds to go.

 

[K-Man]

AOB can start warming up for his "I was proud of the effort" in the presser. Would be lovely if he was ever actually proud of the performance.

 

[K-Man]

We deserve to concede those 2 points based on how easily we let them out of their own 1m line with 50 seconds to go.

And you know that even if we put up a fight in the second half we'll still end up losing by those 2 points.

That's what we've become. Happy when the team just has a go even if it's for 20 minutes.

Also I don't think Croker is much good when used as a battering ram. He needs to implement constant threat of passing and using that footwork.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We've been very tough in defence, for the most part. Line speed has been good and contact hard

We've also been dumb and handed over position too easily

Bipolar Knights once again

 

[Jono078]

We've been very tough in defence, for the most part. Line speed has been good and contact hard

Maybe in the first 20, but absolutely not in the second 20.

There were many times I saw 3-4 players involved in a tackle yet somehow it was never a dominant tackle and it puts our whole defence on the backfoot when they get a play the ball. The marker defence has been soft and allowed players to get around them too easy to meet the line behind them.

We had many times where we got the Raiders stuck in their 10 to start the set but they always ended up in our half by the end of it. Commentator even said "It'll be tough for the Raiders to get out of the corner here" and 30 seconds later they were in our half.

Less said about the tries we conceded the better.

I bet Raiders run away with it now
