Canterbury still a fair way off really.

Don’t have enough points in them.

I wonder how they'd have gone in a 12 v 13 game like it should've been?

It's about the only way I can see them putting up enough points to win. They spend stupid amounts of salary cap on outside backs and have no creativity or ability to create space through the middle.

Don't disagree with that at all, but it was an incredibly poor decision not to send off.

 

[nobbyiscool]

It's another pet peeve of mine, is referees' refusal to call the whole team offside.

It didn't matter, cos they scored anyway, but I think it kind of highlights a shortcoming in the rules - if Tago is tackled there, it probably goes upstairs and comes back a penalty try. But he grounds the ball and ends up disadvantaging his kicker (who happens to hit the post.)

It should still be a kick from in front IMO.

 

[DEVO]

Oh well, game over, we were outplayed by the Panthers.

lol, surely not the Nikora one? If that’s a send off then you’d be having a dozen every week…

I will let the picture tell the story. Clear as day for me.

Only a 2 game ban, hardly send off worthy.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I’m keen to see the Raiders play some decent footy teams in the coming weeks. Apart from Strange there hasn’t been much to get excited bout, both our opponents have been friggen gash.

Disagree I think the Raiders forwards have been good.

 

[Around the Wicket]

How the hell is Tyson Gamble in First Grade, the guy sucks.

 

[Aucklander]

Only? Maybe we should have the judiciary hearing before sending someone off for obvious foul play.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Oh Val...

The Cows are trying to throw this away!

 

[nobbyiscool]

No ******* way. What an incredible game and an incredible finish in Melbourne. That might be the greatest try I've ever seen.

Go dig it up on socials if you weren't watching live!

 

[Ed_Gein]

Wow! What a ******* try to win it. Got out of jail. Never seen such elevation like that getting a try in the corner

 

[Around the Wicket]

LoL why would the Warriors charge down a low percentage 2 point field goal with 20 seconds remaining..

 

[nobbyiscool]

This is a random thought, but I've seen a 2 really fun matches back to back today, I've watched the Raiders win... team 18 has to be Perth, how good would it be if Super Saturday was rolling into a 4th match now?

 

[Paul Kersey]

 

[Aucklander]

The overwhelming excitement about this try is pretty funny given DWZ does this week in week out.

Giving up 12 points in 3 minutes was ******* infuriating on top of a crap 1st half. Two crucial HIA's, both passed, didn't help either.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Out of gaol.

 

[windyhill]

That was absolutely ******* insane.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

Wow!

 

[moto748]

I'm a little disappointed Luai didn't spend 10 in the bin for a second reportable offense. I'd like to know what you have to get sent to the bin in 2024.

The trip? How the hell is that not an automatic yellow? (It used to be a red, didn't it?)

I’m not sure if it was an automatic red, but I did think it was an automatic yellow.

Tripping used to be immediate send off.

Back in the good old days anyway.
