Round 4 vs Tigers

[mongoose]

Dane Tilse is more of a halfback than McCrone.

Not looking forward to todays game...might be embarrasing especially being on Channel nine.

Interesting where furner will play mogg when he comes off the bench.
I suspect in the halves,and interesting to see how mogg handles the his first hit out back in the nrl

 

[raiders fan forever]

never imagined mogg in the halves but we wil lsee how it goes

 

[edabomb]

Disgraceful performance. This team handles pressure like a teenager hitting his first home run.

f*ck off furner. Take that useless excuse of a footballer mccrone with you.

v Penrith - 1st half = 0 points
v Brisbane - 2nd half = 4 points (last minute try)
v Gold Coast - 1st half = 0 points; 2nd half =4 points (last minute try)
v Wests Tigers - 2nd half = 0 points

round 5 v Parra- 1st half = 0 points?

We got the Eels next round, ultimate cripple fight. Definitely won't score in the first half going by our trend on the road this season.

As for the game, McCrone's error on the stroke of half time really killed the momentum and let the Tigers go into the shed with a 12 point deficit instead of 18. Then whatever Furner keeps saying during halftime against the Tigers was repeated as we imploded like we did last season.

The silly errors and penalties were back, no go forward and directionless in the halves. Campese tried but some of his kicks were average in the 2nd half and I bearly saw McCrone in the 2nd half apart from the odd run and then trying to pass to a guy that wasn't expecting it with less than 10 to go instead of going for the field goal. Really want to drop McCrone but Herbert doesn't improve us much. Hopefully we do what the Sharks did and recruit a halfback as we need one.

Meh... We sorta held onto the ball... The refs cost us constantly (yeah Tongue so didn't wait for the play the ball) And the touch judges... Honestly... WTF are they doing there? Did they not see the Tigers throw like 10 forward passes in the second half? f**k me the offcials had a sh*t effort today but the touch judges were the worst... f**king useless in any game but they can't even get thier ONLY TASK right... Oh wait I guess they "have to" tell us when a ball goes over for a conversion... yeah because that's such a touch and go situation where no one is in a good spot to see it except them....

Meh...

In other news Mogg played OK but why did we bother? Since when were our centres tired? f**k McCrone off and put Mogg there... Hell f**k McCrone off and put ANYONE there (except Herbert, I dislike McCrone but I dislike Herbert more...)!

I will murder someone.

There is so much wrong with this football team I cannot explain.

The following needs to happen:

-Furner has to go.
-McCrone has to go.
-Fitness is a serious issue obviously, as we can't manage more than 20 minutes of solid football.
-Don Furner has to go, as he's presiding over this disaster.
-Recruitment needs to get a shakeup. Mogg played like an old man - he's our big signing? This hope that our juniors will wake up superstars tomorrow is ridiculous.

So much more. But I'm to furious to work it out. What kind of pathetic effort was that? Whose idea was a moronic short side play when we were up by 18 with 4 seconds left in the first half?

This club needs a massive, massive shakeup. And now. We are genuine spoon contendors if this is our standard. I mean, seriously, what the f**k was that???

No changes will be made. There never are. If no signs of changes are coming I'll be sending my membership back to Raiders HQ with a note saying it's the last one I ever take out.

Fans shouldn't have to put up with utter tripe like that every week.

 

[nickraider]

That was an absolute disgrace. No hunger, fitness appears to be a problem and I cannot believe how bad McCrone is - he is a joke!!!

 

[shear_joy9]

it's time to rid the club of the these inept furners that have held the club back for years.

what's the point of having the league's biggest forward pack if they can barely jog after 60min...

give dugan the entire clubs salary cap, he's the only player that seems to give a sh*t and can play

Timbo, you are spot on with the fitness thing, one only has to look at Weyman to see how much further he has come along in fitness compared to when he was with us.

 

[shear_joy9]

I wish my dad ran a football club so me and my brother could have jobs for life with zero accountability..

 

[matt]

I love it when Timbo get's his rag on.Btw mate totally agree.

 

[aussies1st]

Don't even know why our fitness is so crap. Thurling is being under used, he can play 50 minutes easy, playing him for that amount of time would be a good start. When TLL regains his fitness he can do 60 minutes like last season, all our starting back rowers basically play 80 minutes. Then that leaves the 3 props who only need to play 40 minutes.

I'm sick of this!

I pay money, I buy my supporter gear and I think it's about f**king time they started showing us some results.

 

[raiders fan forever]

every time Timbo has a b*tch he is 100% spot on its so frustrating because it seems the problems are in a way so easily fixable but theres just something stopping changes from happening whether its "hurting" someones feelings by dropping them etc , dont want to spend more than 300k on a player when we have to pay the well liked troy 2 times his worth etc

 

[shear_joy9]

TLL should never have played. He needed atleast another game for sl before the nrl.

thurling can play 80min yet furner barely gives him 30min if that..

Spot on Thurling is the most underplayed player in that 17

Woah Timbo dude I totally agree...I remember hearing Donald Jnr in an interview say that he would step down if the waters got murky,shame really as the Furner name is draped in proud history within this great game,but alas i think it's time?
