2014 Holden Cup: Rd 6 V Newcastle Knights

[The Nickman]

I think the Captain's Challenge is a stupid idea when it goes against us.

[The Greenhouse]

73rd min TRY KNIGHTS to Joseph Tapine. The Raiders defence just cannot keep up, they've been on the back foot for most of the match. Converted Donovan.

Knights 48-28

[The Greenhouse]

Patrick Mago official Canberra Raiders man of the match. And on report for a late shoulder charge.

[Raiders666]

Lee has been very disappointing again.. clearly not ready for first grade imo. Pangai and Mago have been diabolical in defense also.

[The Greenhouse]

FULL TIME

Newcastle Knights 48
Canberra Raiders 28

[Raidersrawesome]

Poor performance

Barnett can hold his head high

This team has some way to go to be competitive

[Raiders666]

Some of the softest defense I have seen

[Raidersrawesome]

57 missed tackles , embarrassing

[T_R]

Yeah, that was pretty awful. And hasn't Lee come back to the field in 2014!

[edwahu]

Yeah, that was pretty awful. And hasn't Lee come back to the field in 2014!

I think getting leaner has had an effect on how destructive he is. In under 20s it seems the heavier you are the better.

NYC Match Report: Knights topple Raiders

Canberra’s NYC team has been unable to complete an upset victory over a strong Newcastle Knights team 48-28 this morning at GIO Stadium.

They scored in the 2nd minute after Lachlan Creith was able to break through some flimsy Knights defence and offload to halfback Andrew Heffernan.

Canberra Raiders 28

Tries: Mago 2, Frawley, Garard, Creith, Heffernan; Goals: Doyle 2

It was a knock on

Just watched that on replay, and I know the commentators are saying it is a knock on from Garard, but I don't believe that there is any conclusive video evidence that would lead to the original decision from the on field referee being overturned. Not on the angles presented. It was just as likely off the leg of the Knights player. Big call in the context of the match.
