Round 9: Knights v Raiders @ Canberra Stadium

[Nickwpearce]

Is the two points a mental thing??? Cause we are totally ****ed canberra can run up a big score here..

 

[MattyM]

29th minute: Uate poor read off a Raiders kick. Raiders get a repeat set...

 

[Beaumont]

Uate NSW wing....please.

 

[bboy_555]

Uate's reads costs us every bloody week.

 

[MattyM]

We are tackling terribly at the moment. Raiders are killing us with kick play the balls and better defence.

 

[bboy_555]

Gagai is defending ordinary. Between him and Uate our right edge defence is deplorable.

 

[MattyM]

33rd minute: Knights scrum feed 30 metres out.

 

[Joel]

Clydesdale coming on.

The 2 points is usually the right thing to do, we just fail for some reason.

 

[MattyM]

34th minute: Knights penalty - tackled without the ball.

I don't know, but it's amazing how often it happens. I'd much prefer us to have the confidence and killer attitude to tap when we're already well ahead. Instead we tap at 14-all.

 

[MattyM]

36th minute: Knights penalty. Uate holding his ankle.

 

[Deanoknights]

Once again we've taken two points when absolutely on top, and crumbled immediately afterwards.

I think most teams would've taken the 2 points! Campese kicking out on the full twice was a big factor in our early dominance!

We definitely have crumbled though but that has nothing to do with taking a penalty.

Our outside backs on both sides need to man up a bit in defence otherwise it'll get embarrassing in the 2nd half

 

[bboy_555]

Uate's reads costs us every bloody week.

 

[MattyM]

And we drop it straight away...

O.M.G!

 

[bboy_555]

How do we leave the line early when we have no line speed?

Our defence is a joke, **** Im tired of this bull shiit.

 

[MattyM]

Bring on half time!

Blake Ferguson conversion missed. 14-12 at half time. We're lucky to be in front still.

Awful defence and errors!

It happens too often for it to be a coincidence.

Our completion rate, lack of missed tackles and taking our chances were behind our dominance early. Been very poor in all those departments since the penalty goal.

Super lucky to be ahead at halftime.

Is it just me, or could Boyd have stopped that try if he wasn't so busy flapping his arms around?! Pathetic play by him!!! :@

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Drop ball, penalty and try. Does not get better than that! Shame it's not a 20 minute sport. We would be awesome!

 

[Guy427]

I missed the first half... did we fold or did the raiders step it up...?

 

[Nickwpearce]

Raiders can win by a big margin, we wont win many games until buderus, smith, scott are back... fighting for the 8 again this year when we should be fighting for top four
