I'll say this.
Credit to Raider69 and Jed, they came over and said G'day - things like that is always appreciated and it just proves that banter and arguments on a forum are one thing but out there on game day were all there for the same reason - to cheer on our team.
Dissapointed in your army's numbers, i must say i thought you guys would fill half a bay or something, perhaps i got the wrong impression about how large your group is or perhaps you did have a big contigent recovering from a previous nights night out. But i can't deny your passion, while canberra fans on the whole are fickle and lack the passion of most other fans the 20 blokes sitting up in bay 72 yesterday made more noise then the other 8,000 canberra supporters put together there so kudos to them.
I thought they had some great chants and they've obviously been doing it for a while, all in unison and tune. WHile i may have ripped in to you blokes a fair bit, fact is were on the same page - just different teams. There is definetly respect there. Raiders Army - Good sh*t.
I'll be happy to come over and return the favour if the army makes the trip up to EAS. In the end it's passion that people like us display that truly makes RL what it is, aks any player or administrator that and they will tell you as much.
Just on the game, i wouldn't take too much from it. To be honest we are a top 4 team...the Tigers would have copped the same treatment. You had 7 or 8 blokes out so we aren't going to take much away from the game except the two points. You'll be back, just need a break with injuries. We've been lucky enough to recieve a semi break from them. And it's not like you were anywhere near your best with the players you had - Smith, Croker, Woolford, Withers etc all had bad day at the offices.
