Nice, I like the pressure building but not sure it's exactly on purpose.

For those who criticise us for taking the 2. There's a great example why we do it. Our attack inside the 20 is not great.

9th min Poor pass from Williams and Wighton knocks on. The Raiders needed to score there given the number of repeat sets in the Eels red zone.

You’ve got to take advantage of five repeat sets.

To get get any points after 5 repeat sets, well, i guess the positive is the fact we got five repeat sets?

Half the time we've got Hodgson passing to props or trying to play crash ball

Love the guy and he's our best out there, but he needs to know when to give away control

13th min Great run Jarrod Croker! And the set ends with a second forced line drop out on the Eels.

1st tackle inside the 10m with defense scrambling and we go 4 crash balls in a row then a grubber.

Wighton.... Also they had hands on the ball every tackle, no call or even warning from the ref...
