I agree we were rubbish but at the same time when we lose games in those exact circumstances we still bag the team for being just as poor. Nobody suggests we deserved to win when the shoe is on the other foot. I agree. I was disappointed that Ricky bagged our team in the media - after a win!! I kno...

Unbelievable!! Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat!!
Awesome!!
So we save Austin for the last 15 minutes and we have our winning formula!!!

Not only do we put up with totally biased referees but we have to listen to fox commentators who can’t say one positive thing about the Raiders.
Boy I hate Badger!!

Im just glad this game isnt in Canberra. It’s freezing here - Im sure it’s going to snow!! Good luck Raiders! This is it - time to start winning (why didnt they think of this in Round 1??). I have faith in Williams to keep a cool head and do the right thing. Looking forward to seeing Liam Knight get...

Canberra Raiders Sam Williams backs Green Machine to kick-start into gear They've had the red pen put through their chances of making the finals by most pundits, but halfback Sam Williams says as long as there is a chance, the Raiders know they can shock the rest of the NRL. "Sometimes it make...

Great to see the level of support for the team. So how about the team works out how to use their more than adequate talents to reward us with a few wins. Totally ironic to ‘celebrate’ reaching 20,000 by throwing away yet another close one. It feels like a big slap in the face to Canberra. Surely som...

It’s sad to see a talented bunch going so badly - they need a psychological coach along with a defensive coach. There is something wrong in the headspace department. We are watching insanity - doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. One man is happy and that’s Sutton - ...

Jack Wighton.... stood down yet not convicted in court, NRL step in and make the decision he cant play. Matt Lodge... terrorised people, ordered to pay compensation, as yet has paid zilch, NRL allow him to play. Fair? Only a DELUSIONIST thinks the NRL is fair. Im also annoyed about the ref who cant...

Very entertaining game, and great to see our Raiders players going well. Not sure Leilua is ready for captaincy - maybe a few rushes of blood.

Green thumbs

Come on Raiders! Make my day. Cheering you on from brekky in Rome and hoping for a big win.

Following the game from Salamanca, Spain. Go Raiders! You can do it!!
Early tip is for Inglis to pull a hammy and limp off after 5 minutes.

Green thumbs

Hope and dread - not a good formula for a happy afternoon. I’ll be at the game cheering of course. I hope they axe the Viking clap until we get a few wins. It seems terribly ironic at the moment.

Green thumbs

This is really painful to watch - what else can go wrong? Feeling gutted already.

'Red zone' causing Canberra Raiders to stumble in close NRL games Leading performance psychologist Gayelene Clews says the Canberra Raiders are trying too hard and that is sending them into the mental "red zone" in the dying minutes. "Because they've had a bit of history of losing th...

Thanks TW. The parking tickets were done through Eventbrite.
They just supply one invoice which seems to be a ticket as well.
There are no individual tickets for each home game. Im sure this create havoc with the people collecting parking money. I’ll be they havent been warned about this.

Green thumbs

Did anyone else pre-purchase parking for the season?
We got an invoice, but no link to print off tickets.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

I have often thought that the draw has a big impact on results.

Everyone is saying the Storm were way ahead of any other team - well if they can afford to keep those marquee players together for years of course they are outstanding. Just no other club can afford such a roster. Call me a cynic if you like, but there's something rotten in the way the cap is admini...

We were at the 2004 grand final and watched the Raiders NYC lift the trophy. It was thrilling game that went on and on. Quite funny really. It was great to see our boys finally win with a try! Fenno was the captain. So glad for him to be playing in a GF again and wish him all the best. Im over the S...

Well, the Warriors lost in golden point, and that's it. All over red rover for the Raiders. We really only have ourselves to blame for not being in the 8. Hoping for other outcomes in the last few rounds is clutching at straws.

scotchberry wrote:What a pathetic application to the last 5 minutes of the match when f/a is so important for us in the context of the season.

My thoughts too. We really need everything we can get, and yet they allowed two late tries - echoes of that game in Bathurst. Really poor.

Green thumbs

If you ask me every game is a must win! Which games should we go into seriously saying, "we don't really need to win this one"? But I do hope the boys have a positive attitude and go in with guns blazing. They need to prove to themselves that they can win, and they need to reward the amazi...

Game day! Making the trip down from the coast for this so hopefully the raiders make it worth the trip! Let's prolong the inevitable for one more week! See you in Bay 69! Perfect day for footy - sunny, calm, heading for 13 at about 2pm. Should be a ripper of a game and hopefully we turn the tables ...

I hope the Viking clap is so strong that Telstra tower wobbles (or should that be 'bobbles'?)
But the main thing is that the Raiders feel the power surging through them and the Panthers have fear put into their hearts.

Green thumbs

Any action at the ground yet, GH? Thanks for being there to report on the game. Come on Raiders - let's see you at your best like last week.

Green thumbs

I agree with your comments, GE. Sia is not a thug at all. He's a true gentleman. He is a clean player and that hit on Slater was clearly accidental. In fact, I was there and Sia was looking at where the ball was passed, not at Slater. I felt Slater got in the way, unfortunately, and then played it f...

Just saw that Cecchin is the ref - game over.

Have we ever won a game when he was the referee?

The reality is that nothing will happen with a new stadium for years (probably long after Andrew Barr's time), so I wouldn't put much store on anything he says. It would be nice for some redevelopment of the current Bruce stadium to improve it and lift the standard for patrons, but right now, I woul...

Why dont the players ever acknowledge the crowd after a loss? Sure they are disappointed, but so are the fans, who turn up and cheer the boys on faithfully win or lose. I thought it was especially poor at the Bathurst game. Lots and lots of Raiders fans from around the region turned up, but since th...

Thanks for making the effort to write such a good report, when you must feel as gutted as the rest of us. I think the crowd should get a big thumbs up for the 10,000+ crowd who turned up in the freezing cold, did a good Viking clap, and cheered faithfully through the game, in both attack and defence...

I guess it comes down to Ricky sitting him on the bench week after week and giving him very few minutes in the field. A lot of time to think about where else you might play. Disappointing all the same.

Green thumbs

Once upon a time teams played alternating home and away games. That's certainly gone out the window for the Raiders at least, and I think it has an impact on the results.

Green thumbs

Looking forward to the rub of the green from the refs too. Who can forget the 11-3 smashing in round 1 and the sin binning of priest for a cowboys player dropping the ball. these things even up right?? At least that what wayne bennett reckons just like the salary cap. If only that was true! Then I ...

I'd be sorry to see Austin go - I'd rather see him improve where he needs to and stay with the Raiders. I'd like to see the club work out a way to sort our personal issues, not just dump players as soon as they have a bit of a tiff. And I'd like to see the coaches actually do some work building skil...
