That Rapana in goal one, again NRL has clearly gone down the path of: if the players is ok give leniency, if there is an injury punish it. If Wilson had to go off the field they most likely penalise Rapana.
Its shit because it flat out promotes milking which is a blight on the game.

Aside from the Raiders 1st try, that’s one of our better defensive efforts in some time.
Our 2 captains have been so out of sorts though and I know Burton cops plenty on here but Mahoney has had way too many of these games. Has had a really poor season vs what was expected of him

1. Don't understand all the Reed hate man has tried his backside off, missed tackles yes, but he is always first man in and often 1v1 with a big raiders prop
2. Averillo is having one of his best games ever
3. Waddell (other than early error) and Kikau have been excellent
4. Edwards has been fantastic in the Yeo roll
5. Burto needs to be moved to centre
5. We need to stop playing through Burton and start playing through Sexton and continue going to Averillo
6. Raiders have been terrible

I'm almost drinking the Ciro koolaid. Maybe he did just need our full strength team all year

So have all the big names we signed, Burton , Fox , Reed etc. underperformed!! it’s been a shambles.

Should be
Yes, should have been but wasn't. IMO a cheap shot by Rapana. If that had been on one of the raiders the bunker would have seen it. As it stands Cummins reviewed it but unfortunately had his eye shut. Sick of this selective blindness by the officials. Heck even the commentators at half time commented that Rapana was very lucky not to have been in trouble. Reckon that that Muppet Whitehead was lucky too not to have been pulled up and reported for the tackle on Burns where he bent him over his hip/legs backwards. Those type of tackles have the same potential for as serious injury as a hip drop does.

Please hope CC does not leave Ockonbor on for the entire 2nd half. There is a Canberra truck that got his name on it.

He hardly created those trys. 1st try he handed it to Wilson to fall over the line and the 2nd was all Averillo, Raiders were already short on the right edge.



He hasn't created anything through his kicking or running game to give us any sort of advantage
He didn’t bomb two tries. Although the Kiraz try was close
