The NRL is playing dodgy music in every bloody break in play. I wish they'd quit it!

Bad luck to the boys, it's been a good comeback to make the finals, but that's it for the season.

One positive is the rain appears to have stopped! It rained right through Holden Cup.

Emotional scenes at the end there with young Woolford unable to hold back the tears

Tonight was awful in every respect but I hope the boys have some pride in what they did this season. Half way through the season we were a rabble, to make the finals was a wonderful effort.

The Raiders U/20s were physically dominated by the Chooks. There would have only been a handful of players the equal in size to their opponents. Our boys did not have a happy game, particularly the playmakers, but the score is evidence of the mismatch in size. I thought fullback Vandartell did some good things. Cotric never received the ball when he was not under pressure. The experiment of resting players last week did not work at all.

Well done to the lads for making the finals.

Played against a far bigger team. They all looked like they were in their last year of 20s and we looked like we were mostly in our first. All the dropped ball and 7 tackle sets didn't help.
Harry Van Dartel was excellent at fullback.

Hope they look at getting to the 8 with pride rather than how they finished.
