I still dont know how this team couldnt at least scrape into the 8
It was a good game to watch yesterday and as usual for them this year, they manage to lose it after letting in a soft try from dummy half when they appeared to be ontop. They also let in a soft try to Mansour right on halftime when he went on one of his trademark runs from across the field.
I dont follow them, but I really havent seen a team throw away so many close games as they have done this year.
They did it both times against the Manly & Penrith this year, they blew the Knights game and lost against understrength Broncos & Cowboys teams during Origin. And theres most probably more in there theyve blown.
After the year they had last year, where they were literally one pass away from playing Cronulla in the GF, theyve easily been the biggest disappointments this year.
With other teams like us NZ (even with a great spine on paper this year) have been a basket case for years, & we did not have much expectation on us from the majority of the RL world, I would say the Raiders have been the biggest underachievers of 2017.
