20th min TRY KNIGHTS to Kalyn Ponga. That is the result of constant Canberra mistakes. It looks easy, he just goes past Whitehead easily. The Raiders have simply not been switched on mentally, and the Knights are right on their game. Ponga fails to convert, hits the upright.

Knights 10-0

Reminds me of the Cowboys game last year.

Also our home crowd seems to be mostly Knights fans.

Hopeless defence.

If you’re marking Kalyn Ponga and you’re not positioning yourself outside him, you are failing.

Poor positioning from CNK too, lacked awareness.

Probably the worse first 20 mins of his career. He's just as likely to put in a MOTM performance from this point on.

Were they on the cans last night? They’re playing unbelievably poorly.

How the **** is that selfish?! He literally threw the pass rather than go to ground short of the line!
All he had to do was pass it to Simonsson rather than taking on Ponga and it's a try. That's how.
So we are ignoring he ran inside because the defence was already going for Simonsson? And Rapana catches that...

23rd min Nicoll-Klokstad allows the bomb to bounce, fortunately the Raiders cover the Knights after they recover.

Credit to the Knights they have done their homework and are playing us to a tee.

They have line speed, a sting in defense and energy.

Our right side looks apathetic at best in defense.

26th min The Raiders have a 58 per cent completion rate, the Knights 83 per cent. Raiders lose the ball, but get a penalty for a strip.

Rapana wouldn't have caught that unless he was hugging the touchline. Which he may well have been.

Definitely seems mad to have him on the bench while we have Simonsson and Scott out there.

27th min Nicoll-Klokstad passes the ball straight to Edrick Lee on the last tackle, a couple of metres out. The Raiders are completely off their game.
