Elimination Final - Knights V Raiders - Sunday 10 September 4:05pm - McDonald Jones Stadium

Thought Hetherington was quite reliable to his credit today, got through a high amount of defensive work at crucial points in the game.

 

[Grug]

Man, that's why if Ponga was able to play he had to. Calls to rest him were ludicrous

Ponga play an ordinary game. And Hastings succumbed to an ankle injury.
Raiders were missing heaps and should have won.
If we played fit players like we had the past week we would have brained them.
Now we are back to square one when we play a decent team.
Dumb as ****.

 

[frankLauda]

Yes, we made some errors, but I'm not going to take anything away from the Raiders. They played hard and well. Clune in Hastings next week, I think we are better. I'd also be considering trying to get Lucus into the side.

Considering our whole pack got abused yeah he didn't look so bad

How we won this game Is beyond me.

Are we capable of winning next week... Yes.

Am I confident... No, not after everything I went through these past 2+ hours.

The guy who set up 3 of our tries and scored another was ordinary? So you're saying we should have played Miller instead to 'brain' them

 

[HarVeeGee13]

We’ll win and win well. I’m not even nervous.

What did I tell you all? Never in doubt.

This is as bad a take as I've seen in a long time.

 

[Hard Yards]

Very stressful, but we will be better next week. A brave but clunky win-in the end. I think no Hastings next week, but Clune is a capable replacement . I think Nu Brown needs to be on the bench too
Very happy with the form of Ponga, Best, Young and Crossland
Bring on the Wahs. We win by 6

The nice thing is we can't be worse than that **** show.

Gamble will have some extra bite to his game next week.

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Oh my ****ing god! I was 30 mins behind live play and only just finished. 54 heart attacks later……! Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle……!

How the F did Wighton stay on. Justice was done! Sucked in Sticky and your grubby Raiders. The Knights go marching on on on!

 

[Billy]

It's a story that happens over and over again in Rugby League and why we all love it.
Ricky was always going to get his guys up for the game of their lives, and we were always going to say we know it's coming, but in the back of our minds we thought we just had to show up and were already thinking about next week.

The good news for next year, all our guys will be better for that game and should be fired up to give it to the Warriors next week, Canberra style.

 

[Ak-47]

10 wins row, bring on next week and keep building on for next season
We can definitely make the warriors earn it just cant play the way we did in that 1st half omg

 

[Les Misérables]

Run Metres

JSaf: 75m
Thompson: 66m
Fitz: 40m

Total: 181m

Raiders Prop Ata Mariota: 193m

Someone mind explaining how that's acceptable? Love Thompson thought he had a blinder. But still, statistical context matters.

 

[Mclovin]

Our defence won the game today, im very proud of our defence
Gotta say the Canberra were pretty good today so well done to them

 

[JOJO82]

Big learning curve from this game, never take anyone lightly.

Many on here were saying this would be a cake walk....guess lesson learnt for them

Is Lachlan concerned mate?

 

[Steen]

Can we please get rid of the short drop out. It’s such a low percentage play, you rarely get the ball back and leave the opposition 10 to 15 meters out from your try line. In my opinion, it’s better to drive it deep, with a big chase and make them fight for every metre. Makes perfect sense to me. Opinions?
