Just one of those games that serves as a reminder that we've still got some work to do. Canberra should be there at the end of the season so no shame in losing to them this year.

I wonder if the team have had an eye on next weeks game and the excitement of a new stadium. They're human, they've just been welcomed to their new home field then have to travel down there on a Sunday night.

We'll be boosted for next weeks game I reckon.

Nope. We just suck when we play down there. It's becoming a tradition.

Not a bad loss
We been lucky playing weakend sides. Before we rush into re siging everyone we finaly play a side who is full strength.
And sure we arent 100% also.

With all the possession they had, and all the errors we made, we should have had 30+ put on us.

Seriously - Canberra deserved the win, but were far from impressive.

Have a sulk mate, I’m not defending the refs I’m saying quick taps are a waste of time.

Sulk? You said quick taps are useless and i was pointing out that in this case it shouldn't have been useless because there was an infringement that should have led to a penalty (and a subsequent sin bin).

You may in fact be correct about quick taps but in this particular case the refs got it wrong and the Raiders got away with it.

That's what I thought when I saw they'd has the captain run there yesterday.

Disagree. They stayed composed and didn't panic even when couldn't score.
Was a storm like performance. Many tipped Raiders along with Manly to get spoon. This is a finals team I reckon.

We should just send our reserve grade down to the Canberra game and rest up for the following week. We have lost 27 out of our last 28 games down there.

They may have got it wrong it was close as to whether or not the 2nd player was in the tackle but it doesn’t matter because the quick tap was worse then a normal quick tap regardless of what the decision should have been because we lost possession. In fact you didn’t just claim there was a bad decision, you claimed the ref did it to win a bet. That sounds like sulking to me
