Round 19 vs Canberra

[Number of the Beath]

Couldn't defend for 30 seconds to keep the score respectable at half-time.
Clueless f***ing losers.

 

[Dragon David]

We gifted the Raiders so far. We made too many mistakes - just too many and the Raiders have been lucky especially with the last try being scored after the ball hit the goal post. The try was as a result of Turner knocking on and we had 10 seconds to hold on before half time - bloody hell we cannot take a trick.

Thought Amone, JDB, Liddle and Couchman have been good. Turner out of his depth at FB. Blocka gone missing, Billy not too bad. Hopefully avoid another 50 score…

As usual were having no luck , but you have to make it. Our attack is so much better without Hunt but my god our defence is schoolboy stuff. Were slowly getting them in attack but then letting tries in. Im still stupid enough to think we can win but we need to want to win and im not seeing it. But Sullivan / Amone is our future

Left side defence continues to plague us

BMM very poor. Is not a first grader.

We are better than the scoreboard suggests.

Add 2-3 big strong effective forwards and we would be competitive.

I cannot get over how unfit our side looks against nearly every other side.

Yes, Blocka, BMM, Suli all look underprepared

 

[RedVDave]

Good to see we've been working on defence throughout the last 3 weeks.

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Amongst a heap of problems with this team, I just don't understand why they cannot at least fix our left side defence.
At least our attack is functioning slightly better, completing in the first half at just over 80%.

 

[I'm Hornby]

Sullivan has missed the three tackles that led to the Raiders first three tries, his defence has not been as good as usual. Is he carrying a niggle? Every half chance we have gotten the halves haven't been able to capitalise, very poor.

I think part of the problem is Suli is slow in defence as is BMM who both defend on that side. Any shift catches us out

Amone is playing better than he has. Got to think not having Hunt over calling everything is letting these guys play free-er. Couchman is a footy player, has heart and should play most weeks. Lawrie has gone missing. Our left hand defence is poor again/still. Round 19 and we are still playing the same players with the same defensive structure. No wonder we are getting smashed every week!

[Illusion]

Soon as a team gets repeat sets against us it's all over red rover ........

 

[possm]

Our edge players on both sides but especially on our left side are rotten. we definitely need a couple of top-grade props; Lawrie is not the answer.
Recruit the following players:

Fullback - Holmes
Five-eighth - K Flannagan
Halfback - Herring
Prop - Tino
Left edge forward - D Fifita

 

[Crush]

5-102, if we can get Stokes out we will be looking very good.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Finally some luck!

Yes we need Stokes gone and we are well and truly in the game. Come on Aussies.

 

[Dragon David]

At long last we get a try from a Raiders mistake. Conversion missed. We need to score a couple more in quick time and of course defend like hell.

I haven’t listened to the nine commentary for a while. They are woeful.
