Round 26 vs. Canberra Discussion + Voting

[Raidersrawesome]

This will be a close game, the game in Canberra changed your season, so your welcome

My concern other than its an away game is that its Mad monday the next day for us and we are so close to the Gold Coast. Their minds may not be on the footy field

good luck , I hope we win as you guys are in the semi's anyway and since we are not I hope you guys go all the way

Even though the Broncos are in the semis it is a must win game to avoid finishing 7th or 8th, if we want a decent shot at the title.

If Canberra are on their A game then you guys will win. If not Broncos should win comfortably. I still have the horrible memory of Campese tearing us to shreads...

I think we all have bad memories of the last time these two teams met. But we've moved on from that. The team isn't using as a key motivator in their preparation so neither should we dwell on the past. Sure, a win will be good against them but we need to use this game to help us prepare for the finals which means keep our defence the same as the last four weeks and improve on our attack this game as we were a bit off against the cowboys. We'll give the finals a good shake, when we get there.

If Michaels plays we will be f**ked harder than a porn star. Surely there has to be someone out there better than Michaels?
DeVere? Hancock? Carne? Kilroy? I dont care how old they are

Like that

Totally agree. Love the reference to the ladies that work hard for the money. I think Brett Plowman would be handy addition as well.

Boys did enough to win, just happy we got through the game without any injuries.

Pretty disappointed with the scoreline really. The way we came out in the first half could have left a huge scoreline at half time had we converted all our chances to points. Too many chances blown away. Oh well, a win is a win, and the Titans aren't looking like a team that we'll need to be playing at our absolute best to beat.

Honourable mentions of Setu and Yow Yeh. A pretty good performance, not great though, but at least now we finish 6th. We could have won by plenty if we finished off a few tries and didn't make so many errors. The last 10 mins was disappointing, but it all doesn't matter now, here come the finals!

Folau's form is very worrying (is it the shift to centre or still finding his feet after a long lay off, or both?). You can't really kick Yow Yeh out of the team at this stage, his form is too good. So Folau better get used to centre and quick, we need him firing on all cylinders!!!

I'm really disappointed with the refereeing in tonights game. Canberra spent the entire match offside, commited some usually penalised plays for example grabbing the leg of a tackled player who has got to their feet without punishment and through the ball away on numerous occasions on turnovers and most notably when they had a dropout and someone in the crowd put the ball under their shirt. Also one particular referee had the ball placed over the tryline right in front of him yet he went to the video. This is sh*thouse and if a final is decided by one of their bloopers there should be hell to pay. Ok enough of the whinge back to the 3 2 1.

3 Parker. Absolute standout.
2 Wallace. Was in the thick of everything.
1 Thaiday. Played strongly.

I am not bagging Taylor but he duffed a couple of tries tonight by going for the corner rather than heading back in field and Folau's missile pass to winterstein with the tryline begging were all poor options. We'll need to fix this in attack this week as we need to make the most of any opportunity's in the finals.

Only just got back now, took 2 hours to get from Chermside to the coast, so much roadwork.

Anyhow, fairly decent game. We pretty much couldn't complete a set for the last 10 or so minutes, pretty frustrating. Why was Hodges taken off early?

3. Parker. 2 tries, enough said.
1. David Taylor, I think the highlight reel for players leaving after the game showed about every try his ever scored. Oh, he also did fairly well tonight, needs to learn to stay in the field.
1. Wallace, best of the play makers, good in defense as usual.
1. Kenny, 165 meters?

-600. Stupid fat kid and his mother sitting next to me who don't know how to sit in chairs. Really annoying in seats close to the corner.

Highlight was some large guy reacting the guy from those NRMA ads, was dancing like that every 2 minutes. Nearly fell down the stairs at one point, so good.

Taylor needs to realise he doesn't have to score the try, taking the tackle is fine. It's low percentage stuff going for an all or nothing result on tackle zero.

Yeah the refereeing was terrible! What about in the first half when Lockyer put a kick through and Wallace was penalised for being offside. Sure he was in front of the kicker, but he gave the fullback 10 metres, hell he gave him about 20 metres! Do the refs not know the rules or something??

Went to the game last night and was good to see a relatively big crowd for the unusual kickoff time.

Happy with the win but disappointed with the performance. Lockyer getting caught numerous times on the fifth tackle is unforgivable, Taylor butchering 2 tries by trying to run over the opposition instead of stepping inside and we aren't playing smart. Our defence has been fantastic but our attack is too predictable, it's either lockyer to thaiday or wallace to taylor.....

But the most disappointing thing for me is Folau, I had forgotten he was even playing last night! Part of the problem is the attack is not going to him and the other part is him NOT looking for the ball, Hodges gets through a lot more work then Folau ever will. Look at how Melbourne used him last year, why can't we do the same?

Looking for a much better game at skilled!

From where i was watching the southern end and this happened at the northern end, i thought wallace had been pinned for doing a flop and then i realised it was a offside penalty and then i watched the replay which showed wallace was in front of lockyer marginally and then dugan running for what seemed close to twenty metres before being tackled. I yelled out bullsh*t!!!

 

[Big Pete]

Solid performance albeit the boys were impatient and didn't stick to their game plan. With the finals upon us, I hope the boys adopt a similar game plan that saw them win at WIN Stadium all those weeks ago.

3. Corey Parker - Was in everything.
2. Peter Wallace - Good kicking game and came up with the right plays at the right time. Best performance in quite some time.
1. Sam Thaiday - Was like dynamite!

Special mentions to Yow Yeh, Hodges, Hunt, Kenny and Sims!
