What a brilliant game the team put in. Macca was on fire today. His kicking game was extraordinary, finding the gaps in the field and never kicking down the opposition throats. What a brilliant try, the first one, a beatiful quickstep that mesmerises Hunt, and then straight past him. And what a brilliant one on one strip to set up the Graham try! He was fantastic all round.
Davico was the rock for the forwards, while Woolford was exceptionally good out of dummy half. With quick play the balls and quick service from dummy half (or a quick decision to scoot out from the ruck) you can get a real roll on.
Schif, Graham, Mogg were all great in the backline as well.
Thanks Raiders, you made at least one supporter VERY HAPPY!!!
Downsides: Refereeing. Every single try but one seemed to go to the video ref, but the one they didn't take upstairs was wrongly awarded! (Lockyer kicks through with the scoring Broncos player, De Vere, offside). And how Mander could possibly have come up with a no try decision to Woolford is completely beyond me... and they want to make this guy the ref for SOO. He can't even get it right when he is looking at it repeatedly on video!!!
Carroll. What a disgraceful elbow to the head of Mark McLinden. And then a high late shot after McLinden kicks the field goal. It should have been a penalty in front, in addition to the field goal. He should be put out for a long time in my view.
