That just balances out the fact they were allowed to lie in the ruck all night slowing t he **** out of our PTB.

I accept that.

Not only am I fine with the Tapine hit on Wlash, I thought it was entirely deserved. Was hilarious to see, and Walsh’s reaction says it all.

Even Kev said Walsh was “mucking around and got his medicine”.

I liked Capewell saying that they’ve been trying to do that to him at training all year but no one can get a hold of him so they loved seeing it lol

 

[Jedhead]

Was at the game last night. Staggs had a shocker. Cobbo made three really bad errors but still scored a hat tric, capewell was putrid yet we still managed to keep the faders at arms length for most of the game. There was a pretty huge Broncos support there and there was a huge bearded guy with our colours on just in front of me in the raiders members stand who stood up and really gave it to the whole stand when we scored our last try. He then filmed them with his phone as they were all obviously sooking badly.

Walsh was virtually unplayable all night. Raiders will continue to do nothing and fail to progress so long as they have the poisonous dwarf in charge. I did notice more than a few boos for him at the beginning of the night when they were announcing the team.

Finally big Payne was getting treatment for a hand injury by our trainer behind the play towards the end. Hope that ain’t too serious.

Looked like a dislocated finger on tv. Seemingly got cracked back into place and strapped up. He didn’t seem to hindered by it initially but he did seem to pass rather than take on the line almost every time he got the ball after that. Might have been the plan for him to avoid injury either way though

Early bomb and Mam smashes the living daylight’s out of Rapana as he catches it. All the Raiders supporters behind me be like “fucking size of him and he’s serving it up to our fullback, we need to get him for next year” more comments to this affect followed. You could almost taste the envy in the air.

 

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

That's really ordinary, I hope it didn't ruin your kid's night.

Nah man, he enjoyed himself. He was so good. He pushed through so he could see the players at the bus. We were put till 11pm.

It would have just been nice to get some good photos with them.

My issue with the Tapine hit is the lack of accountability. It's fair game and within the rules, but Walsh was clearly hobbling and the game was well and truly over. You decide with 20 seconds to go that's the time to put on a big hit? To potentially maim another one of our star players like your team did last year?

Just own it, it was a dog shot. We can laugh about it now but it was opportunistic as anything and in the exact same realm as the Justin Hodges on Brett Morris shot.

I have no issue with it. Walsh had ample time to get off the field if he was that injured, had ample time to kick the ball dead or even just pass it. Fair game and got what it deserved, a FU tackle. Just like the tackle pads at training.

Nah, I asked Ricky and he said that was for the ref.

I just read that we were in some sort of agreement and felt sick- I hate myself.

How many people were waiting there with you? How long did the players spend there?

Depending on the context it might be a bit rough to criticise them for not getting around to every person there

 

[TimWhatley]

Can't say much about that game except **** the Raiders. It was a performance worthy of Ricky's personality, 80 minutes of angry, spiteful footy.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Watch both press conferences and can be summed up as follows:
Broncos - played well but errors didn’t help, other team gutsy and played tough, well balanced team with coverage as evident without Reyno and Patty.
Canberra - Wah Wah Wah, all the refs fault, conspiracy against us, Wah Wah Wah Wah, refs stupid and hate only us, Wah Wah Wah - it’s passed my bedtime.

Oh no, some players walked past everyone (haven't named because I don't mean to hammer them, I get they're tired and wanna go home).

Probably a few hundred, my main issue was the players were more interested in talking to girls than taking a photo for a little kid who's stayed up until 10:30 to see broncos players.

Ricky’s presser though. He was obviously late because he couldn’t find his tin foil hat.

I sent the club this feedback years ago when they went through a phase of walking around the stadium after a game virtually on the sideline just waving. To them, it maybe just a chore they have to do every fortnight, but to the kids, it’s a chance to touch their heroes and becomes the best night of their life.

Also rewatched the highlights and Raiders lucky that their 1st and 3rd tries weren’t taken off as they both looked forward.

Score line really flattered them at the end.
