13 minutes all right. 67 terrible.
 
I had a Huntsman spider the same size as a dinner plate hiding somewhere in my x-trail after a failed attempt of cold blooded murder. I chose to take my anger out on the mo fo with a tin of Mortein and a thong. Feeling great now!

Thank god the spider was around, is all I can say! :lol:
 
I'm not to worried about the loss, we needed it after recent performances. We've been playing crap for weeks and scraping through/just getting beat. We needed a big loss to kick us back to reality.
 
Another week where guys can't back up 80 mins of football. Easy miss tackles, running one out, stupid mistakes and dumb penalties. Heads have gunna roll. These blokes are to comfy in there positions.
 
9 errors and 29 missed tackles from us today. Raiders made 8 errors and missed 12 tackles.

Poor.

It worked after the manly flogging...
Hopefully things improve when we have Mullen, Bederus, Scott and Smith back
 
54th minute: Houston drops the ball over the try line...

i bet if canberra had the ball the ref would have blown a penalty for a strip lol
why does momentum shift when we go for penalty goal lol
canberra got away with forward passes all game

How can you say we needed that loss...you don't need any loss. You need wins and take them every if they're ugly (panthers game) you need confidence and points. The comps that close, some score go against us and we can be sitting at 9th-10th.

I think we need to learn to play in a way that we don't need an absolute flogging every five games or so to jolt us into putting some effort in again.

That was absolutely disgraceful for Gidley's 200th match.
 
Is anyone else getting tired of Boyd taking his time to stand up while looking at the ref? Gidley and Roberts were terrible after the first 20 and offered nothing in the way of attack or any sort of defensive kicking game. We started well and for the second week in a row Kurt has killed our momentum by taking the 2 points from a penalty.
Personally I don't see why we need Hilder at hooker, just throw him the number 13 jersey that Houston's been wearing over his blouse and let him tackle his heart out like we're used to from him.
We are seriously missing a player with vision, who plays what he sees and unfortunately we were found out today when Kurt offered up the usual dribble we've seen from him in the past. Do we have no playmaker who can offer short kicks for our wingers to chase or are we falling victim to a gameplan that Bennett has laid out for us?
Either way it isn't Bennett out there turning over simple possession and hopefully with the return of Smith, Scott, Buderus and Mullen this team can actually start to string a few more games together.
How hard is it supporting this team?! Haha if you're old enough it should surely be mandatory to don an alcoholic beverage while watching to:
1. Numb the pain if we lose
2. Cause us to dance hysterically if we win :crazy:
 
I still can't get out of my head us leading 14 0, I get you can claw back and maybe win 18 14, but 44 unanswered. I'm just fuming.
