Re-watched the game, we had 3 no tries in that first half, the Raiders were very lucky they weren't down by more.

When Seyfarth was off the Raiders had the ball for 8 minutes when they scored their 3 tries, we finally got the ball back only to lose it in the first tackle still waiting for Seyfarth to come back.

Better game 2nd time around watching.

Yeah Sione scored that try. Can't see how it was taken off him

And the one that surprised me

The opposite of what many other experts continually quote.

Don't know about anyone else but I loved the attack, all the tries as well as the ones that should of been with just an ounce of luck.

Come the end of the day Wickies Waiders scored 24 points but 16 of those were against 12 men and I might be a little biased but to me it seemed like a ref that on balance let a lot of things go the way of the opposition.
 
Not that I care all that much about anything NRL360 say but you can bet their resident village idiot will harp on about how poor the Raiders were with nary a mention of the Tigers great performance.

Does Staines get back in to this team? Will they go with Olam and Deouhi in centres, with Naden and lobb on wings against roosters?

If that happens it may not work out too badly as Doueihi has played a lot of his football on the right side while playing five eight and centre for us in the past.

Not sure about the other selections but the Olam/Doueihi centre pairing makes sense.

Yeah, basically the only sport I watch is Rugby league so I cancel KAYO in the off season.

The NRL are brain dead, they should be leaning on KAYO/FOX to provide a reasonably priced rugby league stand alone type of product as one of the conditions of their televising rights.

I personally would be okay with paying something like $15 - $20 a month for what I currently pay $35 for just Rugby League/Super League content, you would also think that it would be beneficial to the NRL and the game in general as well.

Just as an aside, those KAYO and Hubbl ads are driving me insane.

Could take a lead from the AFL, they offer a digital membership which comes with 12 months of Kayo. I think I paid $240 for the year

The ref himself lost the plot .He blows the whistle to stop play and then after a confused delay waves play on . The ref was confused ,the commentators were confused and I think the sinbin was a reaction borne out of his embarrassment .No one seemed to know what was going on

Yeah it really was a mess.... But I think he was playing advantage
I wonder if he was gunna let it go for one tackle then if they scored he'd delete the sin bin... Only way I can see what he was doing but not sure if that's allowed... Ref's discretion... Sin bin is a sin bin I'd have thiught
And Alex did bugger all interference anyway there was nothing in it

It was a really soft sin bin. Penalty sufficient at most. Also, Canberra’s first try where Levy burrowed under. Can’t remember who was playing the ball for Canberra but he stepped so far off the mark he was practically in line with the markers who were set at the time. Cleared a path for Levy to barge over.

It’s a professional foul and a sin bin as long as the ref has made it clear it was play on, which I don’t believe he had. He lost control there.

I get the impression you're happy with the average crowd... I dunno what your talking about 'full house talk'... Pretty sure no one claimed it was a FH

No real feeling re crowd Ink. If you look back at previous posts there was some talk of another full house, especially with freebies being handed out, I was just referring to those posts.

He also made an interesting comment about how the Tigers shifted early in the first set of the second half, and he reckoned that was right out of Benji's playbook: to expect the Raiders to muscle up to try and build back into the game, so they might be able to be stretched out wide.

I'm not a big Cronk fan because he seems to think he knows everything, but I did agree that it was a classic Benji type play, to counter compressed defence with expansive attack.

The energy from the young players in our team really took its toll on the older Canberra players. Love what Sezer brings to the team. What a difference to how the team functions when he is on the park.
And for all the dramas Fulton caused Benji owes him a gratitude of thanks for his role in getting Samuela Fainu.

I still find it a bit funny - I am almost certain we did the Fainu deal to get Latu across, and yet Samuela and the brother we already had are turning out to be quality young FG options. Fit and willing.

Sione been on the books since March 2022 but has really come on this year, I wonder if having his brothers at the club makes a difference.

Also pulled Seyfarth forward to the point he was offside and unbalanced, if that was us they'd disallow it im sure.
 
Just watched the highlights again, specifically watching Samuela. Wow. He is the man. Haven't been this excited about an edge since Gareth. Watch the work he does on the ball, off the ball, defence, offloads, an absolute weapon of a forward at 20YO !! . He is more important to keep long term than Stef if we can't keep both.

Obviously some hoping for a full house... Nothing wrong with that & certainly not 'a load of crap'

Just needs to get the mistakes out of his game, made 3 errors in about the first 10 minutes.

Get them out of his game and he will play with a lot more confidence.

1 handling error - and the dropped ball over the line...

Stop padding the negative stats
