raiders were the better side. tim mander and the video ref were awful. i'd be feeling abit angry if i were a canberra fan.

As a non-Raiders fan, i can honestly say they were robbed tonight.
All of the 50-50 calls went agaisnt them, including what i thought was a try towards the end.

What about the Berrigan no try? That was 50/50 that went the Raiders way.

Talk about a thread that blows up in your face. You won't find many non Broncos fans who'll back up your comments, go gloat in your unfulfilling win, you know that a team struggling to keep up with the 8 should've gone into ET with the momentum behind their back.

Kiwi, feeling a little threatened that a 10th placed team nearly beat you tonight and the only way you's won was because you had the refs on your side???

You didn't see the bobbling about 3 out from the line while sliding over?
Withers knocked it loose.

not worried at all, i'd rather we got a hard run over an easy one. pretty much all the teams we play need to beat us.

Stupid thread

Broncos fans would whinge if the circumstances were reversed.

It was a try for your life.

Maybe the excuse may be that their team was so bloody woeful on attack that they couldn't make a single line break all night, one of their tries came from an intercept and the other two from kicks. But no we wouldn't want to look at the Raiders actual performance, then we may have to stop whinging and it's just not in Canberra's nature to lose gracefully.

We can lose gracefully!!! Last week we gave the game away. Our defence was outstanding, but we let it go in attack with bad passes and constantly dropping the ball all over the place. Ever think that maybe it was you Bronco fans who cant admit you won with the help of the Ref???

Since I was actually at the game, and haven't had the chance to watch the full replay yet, can someone fill me in....

Aside from the strip that gave Brisbane the chance to level, and the Frawley no try, what other 50/50 calls went against the Raiders?
