Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Canberra @ McDonalds Park

[Yosh]

Thank God we beat the Sharks. They are hopeless. Some terrible last tackle options and kicks. Big slow bopper just one out in the middle. Looks similar to us.

If you really want to look back on results we were lucky to beat the Sharks and the Warriors. We could easily be on 1 win for the season..

will be really surprised if we beat the Raiders even with all the turmoil surrounding them.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Yeah we’re no chance today. The fact that the raiders have got a lot going on right now means they’ll be fired up.

Fox Sports will be showing our reserve side play at 12:30pm for anyone interested in seeing what our reserves are capable of.

Yeah we’re no chance today. The fact that the raiders have got a lot going on right now means they’ll be fired up.

The problem is we all know the team won't seize the opportunity or start with the intensity required to take advantage of the Raiders' turmoil. It's the kind of game where a team could put a score on the Raiders if they came with the right attitude and played an up tempo game with a grand final mindset, but we are not that club and we'll plod and derp our way through, and the Raiders will gain more and more confidence if the scoreboard is in their favour.

If anything my expectation is that we play them right back into form, and the headlines will be about the "Raiders Redemption". It's what our club does.

Ignoring those fears for a moment, what a huge game for Crossland. I'd love to see him show something.

 

[Jono078]

10 minutes into the NSW cup game and it's equally as frustrating as first grade. I mean I guess you'd expect lack of cohesion and talent for this grade though.

 

[Jono078]

Saulo has suffered a gruesome leg injury here.

 

[EdLondon]

That was awful

 

[EdLondon]

He must be tough. Handling it amazingly well.

 

[Willie Ray]

That's as bad as it gets...
hope he's going to be okay

 

[Jono078]

20 minutes in I like the look of;

Josh King - been the workhorse and more dominant front rower out there
Camroux - Our 5/8th has energy about him and has put in multiple nice kicks now along with repeat sets.

Also think our 1 and 9 have been really solid.

Other than that everything else has been average so far.

 

[Knight Tales]

Would be ok with us trying some different attacking wise today and coming up short. There is literally nothing to build off of and that ws AOB's point last week.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Saulo out. Fitz gets a start. Barney to lock.
I thought Fitz might be off the bench.

 

[Yosh]

Jesus... We scripted it. Smash them and then let them get a line break on their forth tackle... We do it every week.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Bit of enthusiasm out there but that set restart gave them momentum.

 

[Burwood]

One offload and they spend the next 7 minutes on the back foot.

 

[drizzy drake]

Basic f**king errors, what a joke

 

[macavity]

We have nothing

 

[Lynoman]

Steve Roach is the dumbest f**king merkin ever.

 

[Burns]

Klem, not it
