I didn’t want to go there but he had rushed out and was awfully out of position again. Very lucky it was a **** pass because he left a big hole again.
Greatest raiders try scorer soon. Greatest raiders point scorer. Second highest games for the club. Two games he has made 'the' big play when it really mattered, in the last few weeks. Suck it up boys.

He absolute carped the bed on that last play. Watch it again.
You mean the one where he took the intercept to shut down the Sharks final attack and close out the win?
It was the right play and if not a match winner it certainly closed it out.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Stoked with that win. We have won so many ugly games this year which we absolutely wouldn’t have won last year.

There is no way we win that last year.

We now have a long break with the bye to recover and regroup and are nicely placed in the top 4.

Happy days

No, it's up to the bloody refs to penalize them according to the rules of the game

Billy your wrong, the refs were garbage. So is Pig
I’m embarrassed that Raiders fans are the biggest squealers about refs going around. The Fifita hit on Sezer was fine. The apparent high shot on Sezer was nothing. Read back through the thread - some of you need to take off the green glasses and get a reality check.
We had the ball and got penalised for nothing.

As quiet as Raps was tonight I’d be happy to see him get a match bonus for that shot on Wade Graham late in the half. He nailed him!

Nonsense. They just showed the replay. He didn't rush in at all. He moved up with the defensive line and then made the play. I've been critical of him earlier in the year but he has been good the past few weeks.

I just watched it again and if anyone rushed up out of position it was Wighton - Croker was actually covering him.

That was such a rewarding result. The team will get so much more out of that than going on to flog the sharks

One call that really irked me was Croker strip on Dugan being called a knock on and Sharks feed. Ball clearly went back towards Raiders line. Refs basically saying of Dugan dropped it cold it would have been knocked back.

You really don't want to read it. Apparently Croker did the wrong thing at the end where he intercepted and finished the game.

Including one from left touchline. That's the side he's struggled with this year.

That second half was truly terrible. Mindless penalties, ill discipline, last tackle meltdowns, all over the shop.

That was backed up with Bateo stirring up Gallen and giving away a penalty..

Our start to the 2nd half was poor..

Hahaha I’m serious, I didn’t read the thread, but I just assume it’s full of “oh my god we’re going to lose” and “sack everybody” garbage, because I honestly feel like we have the worst fan base in the world

All I’ve heard this week is how we couldn’t win this game, I never doubted we could. And there was no point tonight I thought we were going to lose, and we didn’t

So it’s about time people bucked up and actually enjoyed this **** team. Because I haven’t felt this way about the raiders since the 90s. They’re such a pleasure to watch

I was blowing up a skootch dramatically in the game thread, but **** hell there were two un-pinged high shots in the second half, the penalty against Bateman should’ve been against Gallen and that was 100% a shoulder charge by Fifita.

There wasn't much in that scuffle I thought. No idea how they could pick out one player for a penalty.

What a great win. Years gone by we always lose that game.

Yeah sure we let them back In but winning like that has never been us. Winning becomes a habit.

John Bateman love him he is in everything.
