Awesome win, gutsy win. That is what I wanted to see.
Everyone put in, even Howell who did well. See what we can do out wide when Elliott picks (almost besides Chalk) the right players?
Carney made some blunders. He fell off the tackle for the 1st Cowboys try but I thought he did wonderfully considering he was targetted in defence (can someone tell me his tackle count?). You tell me a time when the Raiders played such expansive footy than tonight? Carney got some good ball out wide and without being a drag, Withers and Germ were the thorns stopping the promotion of the ball out wide. Todd's long kicking game also kept us in good stead tonight and was part of the reason we won. At the end, Germ and Withers were trying that short chip stuff which is rubbish and it almost cost us. All in all, Todd made a few errors but anyone saying that without more game time he won't control the matches more is living in la la land. Said it for 2 years, he is what we need.
TLL. You were mense son! Every time attracting defenders and always a threat. A really top buy for Canberra and I must credit Management and Elliott for getting him here. He is 5 times the 2nd rower Stagg is, yet doesn't get talked about. He has talent and we must utilise it.
Frawley/Graham together! Wonderful! A few teething problems but they work well together. Attack and defence they did well.
Chalky....roving backrower. Ed, any comments? He was awesome if you ask me and was in everything. A few mistakes but then again, ringnut has given him few opportunities. He will be very handy in that role in the back end of this year. Raiders - SIGN HIM. Priority 1.
Germ. Alright game but what the f**k were you doing 'glory hunting' with 4 to go? We were under the sticks and just had to settle for the last for a FG, yet in all your experience you threw a wild ball out to Graham to create something! Just dumb and put us in jeapardy in E/T. People think we will miss his experience...I look at some of his options and kicks tonight and say good ridence!
All in all i'm over the moon. I'm not that fussed that Todd kicked the winning F/G, any H/B can do it evidenced by scum bag last Wednesday. I was happy to see a committed Raiders line up the scrambled their arses off in defence and beat the Cowboys at their own game by throwing the footy wide.
Wel done Raiders. I'm proud of you....and that had been rare.
