Vs Raiders Rd 3

[Philip_Smith007]

Those last 2 sets leading to drop goals were surreal. In the last few years I would have said that they looked directionless and would've put money on a loose offload costing us the game. Today they looked like everyone knew their role and just had to work upfield. I hate to say it, but they almost looked ... Composed.

It was literally rinse and repeat on those two sets.

Raiders just froze, it's almost unexplainable

 

[TheDMC]

That was sensational. Fit and determined and organised.
Most of that game was painful to watch, so glad I hung in there, thought we had a chance.

I think we are the real deal this year chaps. Not Premiership material, but a force to be reckoned with.

[Johnny88]

Well done to you guys. Finally the warriors look fit and sharp. Great game.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Bask in it boys, we normally lose those sort of games

 

[vvvrulz]

I can't believe it's the same team we've been enduring for so many long years.

 

[Alan Johnson]

3 out of 3, 2 of these in Aus at bogey grounds. Decent.

 

[Cold Roses]

Still games to play. But we're actually top of the NRL ladder at the moment. Call the comp off.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

...we have the chance to make it 3 wins on the trot this week...there couldn't be a more opportune time to beat them in Raiders land.

What did I say...

Yeah boys!!! Fantastic result.

Am I convinced in us now? ahh NO but the signs are good.

 

[Iafeta]

Alex Corvo take a bow. We beat them with sheer tenacity willpower and fitness. We were getting massacred with penalties. The one where Rapana dropped it cold was abysmal refereeing. Dinamud Lui could have opened up a B and B he refused all match to get out of the ruck. And the amount of times they came up with their hand on the ball was rubbish.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Better win than the Perth game. Previous years we would have given up 30+

Even at 19-12 down with 4 to go I was thinking that despite the loss this was a real quality effort.

We've gone Perth - Auckland - Canberra, and now back home before another Sydney trip next weekend. What an effort. 1 away win last year, we already have 2 this year.

Just need to stop conceding the first try and getting a player sinbinned.

Sometimes those ugly wins are the best ones, especially away from home at Fortress grounds. Goddamn I’ve missed this feeling, I’m remembering the joy and pride I used to have in from following this team again!

Raiders just froze, it's almost unexplainable

Weirdly coached. Their halves alternate all game and then become speed bumps at hooker. They rely too much on Leilua and Rapana. It was like us when we had Hurrell.

 

[JJ]

Raiders just sat back and waited like they did last week - weird, but great to be 3-0 we're showing lots of heart

Raiders just froze, it's almost unexplainable

It’s explainable- they’re in the same mental hole we’ve often been in for the last few seasons. They get a lead, the opponent comes back at them and they get so scared of losing that they shit the bed. God I’m glad we’ve got past that, finally!

Dragons lose we go top if Knights don't win by to much.
3 unbeaten teams left.
2 to play.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Replay after SJ last drop goal everyone celebrating, RTS waving about getting back, thinking for next step.
RTS has stood up as a captain and player this year.

 

[MKEB...]

RTS Is actually becoming a genuine league fullback. Wow this season I have seen a fullback that I havent seen since Gary Belcher. Can take a great high kick, positions on attack well, and can friggen tackle now All I need to see is a kicking battle with another fullback.

 

[Izz]

The lads!!!!!!

No thanks, I don't want the ABs brains trust sniffing around him!
