Don’t agree, push in the back ogle brooks fir one of those try’s l, was not just a shocking call by the ref, but pathetic from the video peanut. Not to mention their third try came from a reset when the faider shouldered tupou in the back while he was going for the ball, when the faider never had his eyes on the ball!!! The last field goal penalty was fair, bad attempt by paps should never had got himself that close to his legs, as it wasn’t a kick fir the win, just to draw level. But proud of the boys, down 18 nil tigers of old just lost by 40 ti 40, but not now, go tigers!!

Couldn’t score until they had a player yanked.
Couldn’t score after he came back on.
Our attack is shit.
Cowboys are in awful shape letting us run 11 through them.

Faiders could only score of kicks,
Their attack is shit!!

U can’t be happy when we are playing well, remember we are the wooden spooners. I think we are on the improve. Are we perfect, no, but we are going alright.
You remind me of Paul Kent, just looking for click bait! U must be deprived of attention at home.

I was happy against Penrith, very happy against Cowboys.
Try again

Not sure. Why start playing footy in the 2nd half?

We are negative 80 in the first half and plus 40+ in the second half.

Why? Because in the first half we do 5 hit ups and a kick to the corner with no pressure and repeat.

The fact we had 7-1 line breaks is a embarrassment to our attack.
 
Its scary to think their stats by and large over shadow the oppositions by and large week to week yet they still lose week to week. The belief system within themselves seems to be corrupt and looks like will take time to overcome a decade of mediocrity which has born a culture. And absolutely agree on those kick chases. Canberra just seemed to want it more hence were in the right place at the right time.
Everything is now in place for Crokers 300th game. Good choice in hindsight.
I didn't watch the game - I didn't expect a different result. I seem to have become a victim of this mediocrity. And since I didn't watch the game I shouldnt really be talking so feel free to criticise my comment.
Oh yeh - in regard to referees. I have noticed in the past that you can take them out of the equation by scoring more points than the opposition. Whether it be 1 or 50.

Canberra scored 3 tries tonight that you could call lucky. When the opposition scores 3 of them it becomes an effort and concentration issue.

NO - you have a lack of understanding of basic maths and statistics!

The 3 tries you refer to all had very different circumstances with ZERO common factor aside from Jamal Fogarty chasing his own kicks into post-pads hard to take advantage of the lucky bounces!

The bomb where Wighton's challenge put off Jahream was just old dog vs puppy - & Jahream knows what he can do to avoid it in future (time his leap better and rotate his torsoe to better protect the ball).

First bomb he has dropped in his 6 games - and he didn't skip a beat after his costly mistake! He's class!

There was not a specific lack of defensive effort in any of the 3 tries that contributed to the Raiders good fortunes!

Just watch the game mate!

The Bula drop is fine, I'm not critical of the kid at all, and Wakeham was there to help. Fair enough.

Tell me a good team would ever conceded two tries off grubbers hitting the post? Calling it luck totally ignores the fact Fogarty deliberately chose that tactic against that team. Why? What statistic is there for that other than knowing the opposition is vulnerable on effort plays and concentration in key moments?
