It's getting to the stage where Hodgo may need a spell on the bench

Ain't good enough by a long shot

Have we worked out yet that the Eels are strong defenders in their middle third, on the goal line?

Try the crashball again Hodgo I’m sure they’ll fall for it this time.

I don't mind Sutton to provide a solid body to withstand the opening 20, but he should not be on this long. Need soliola, tapine

Or a spell in the front row. Havili can show him what it’s like to get hospital balls on their line.

We haven’t thrown more than a glancing jab at them.
There doesn’t appear to be a coherent plan in the red zone

28th min TRY RAIDERS to Josh Papalii! FINALLY! Raiders have had 60 per cent possession and lots of territory. They should be up by a lot more. Croker converts.

Raiders 6-0

Trust us to lift when Soliola comes on.

Finally some footwork, a change of angle and we score.

Too many crash balls from Hodgson. Would like a wider ball to a back rower.

Parra have come to play.

Can't believe Williams just turned it up the middle for a Havili hitup on the 4th though. Seriously

Hodgson needs to cede some control and the halves need to take it
This **** ain’t gonna cut it

We should have 3 tries minimum on the board

Only to be starved of the ball and watch his hooker play crash ball after crash ball.
