Rd21 Warriors v Raiders - Matchday

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

lol at Raiders. Apart from Papalii, they got nothing in attack

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

FFS Rapana should go in the halves

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

OMG!!!

 

[Blair]

A freak jailbreak by Canberra but Croker misses the sideline conversion after the buzzer!

20-all, extra effing time.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Where was CNK???

 

[Blair]

Put your seatbelts on. Here we go, we kick-off.

 

[Blair]

Unsurprisingly, the crowd is making some noise!

Seven tackle set for us! We're set.

 

[Blair]

21-20, us. Final.

Johnson's field-goal.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

21-20, us. Final.

Yes!!! Thank you

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Way to make up CNK and SJ. Whew. Whatta game

 

[nswarrior]

Wahoo - doing it the hard way

 

[Burns]

That could have changed the season dead set if they threw that away.

Raiders looked like they had nothing but nearly win it

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Raiders looked like the had nothing but nearly win it

Nothing all game and then the try of the game to draw at the end.

Other than that, they scored of a SJ mistakes and two kicks. Our defence really was solid tonight despite that scoreline.

 

[nswarrior]

Watching that Crocker kick after the last try was not good for my Health.

SJ becoming an absolute legend

 

[GoSouths]

CNKs gotta take some bombs because theyre coming in the finals

Hes been letting them bounce all year. Its his Achilles heel.

 

[Blair]

After catching my breath I've got angry now. How did we let Canberra score that last try?

The biggest win of the year. The Raiders pulled a Rabbitohs Roosters type performance on our home turf, credit where it is due, they messed up our game.
Walker was injured three times in the tackle in that game, it is very clear what Sticky directed his players to do when Walker was running.
That was filthy by the Raiders.

I predicted in another forum that this would be a drop goal thriller top four finals style game with SJ winning it with his boot....

Second week in a row I have called the game accurately...dunno what any of that means...because for mine...it was obvious this was going to be a blood battle to the death...I mean winner stays in top four...what more evidence do you need to expect a finals intensity match.

 

[GoSouths]

Great win.
Some more rocks and diamonds. Sun-Fri games are tough and a top 4 side coming off a bye.
The Ambush was on and we came out of it in one piece.
Some puzzling calls by ref made this closer than it should have been. No way Montoya knocked the ball on, FACING his own try line and knocking it towards his own goal line and then knocked on by the Raider. How that was a line dropout only Todd Smith knows. Game would have been over at 20-10.
The game confirmed to me the lack of threat on the LHS once it gets in Pompeys hands. No other centre in the game would have failed to score that try with an open tryline. But he did. Its like he was running in quicksand. Great on D at the other end but gee whiz. Bring on Ali.

Hes been letting them bounce all year. Its his Achilles heel.

I'm beginning to see that.

We've all seen him take high balls. Just needs confidence and willing attitude. If he embraces defusing bombs as if it were scoring tries, he'd be defusing them all day.

The more he avoids it, the more it becomes a thing to exploit for opposition coaches. Manu got over it by just giving it a go. Has to start now though.
