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.

Rapana will be ok.

And with the current judiciary Tapine should get 12-15 weeks.

Got lucky to get that Vunivalu decision that he went out. Still I thought the Raiders were the better side on the night. Even dumb penalties didn't cost us the game this time.

We’ve put Melbourne on a collision course with the Roosters.
Should be thanked by the NRL community for avoiding a rematch of the 2018 GF.

Incorrect. No one was offside. Don't rewrite history with false facts.

I did too mate. For those who have been on the journey since those glory years, this moment was huge. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves as we have 2 tough matches to come, but so proud of this season.

Really good. His defense was massive and he really combined well with Hodgo.

Our attack looked good tonight. We didn’t always get the reward, but whatever Sticky has been working on over the last few weeks, seems to be working.

My whole body is still shaking. My throat is raw. I'm so proud, my heart could burst.

They said it was impossible. They said we couldn't win. They said we weren't contenders.

They're wrong. We're doing this. We're doing this.

I'm so glad I went up to the club. The place went absolutely off its brain first when Bateman scored, then when the touchie's flag went up. Incredible feeling.
And to all the people who doubted me, hello to them as well. - Mark Webber, Raiders Ballboy and Unluckiest F1 Driver Ever

I'm attacking in the right way, instead of just...attacking in the general direction. - Max Aaron (also eerily apropos for the Green Machine)

You’re not alone - that’s just how I feel too. Great idea to go to the club and be with a bunch of fellow supporters. It was a bit thin on the ground here at home.

So so so so good. That was guts, the sort of performance that makes you proud to be a fan. It's hard not to get carried away, still some very hard games to go if we are gonna win it, but **** it, tonight's about enjoying that one!

Amazing how much this team has grown in the last couple years.

People should watch the Bateman try and just see the two storm players on Joeys inside just panic and sprint in creating the gap that Bateman goes down. Was good footy by Beej

Surely that touchie has to be a raiders fan.... maybe he was just like the rest of us who are sick of seeing the same sides dominate over and over :D
As I side note Im a little disappointed to see not so many bum slaps, since 100 bucks goes to prostate cancer research, a very good cause.
