2020 Rd 18 V Dragons: Game Day

[raiderskater]

Oh, there we go!

[Hong Kong Raider]

Good stuff Semi !

[The Greenhouse]

68th min Raiders bomb a try, CNK fails to take a Croker pass. Ends with a FORCED LINE DROP OUT conceded by the Dragons.

TRY RAIDERS to Semi Valemei in the corner! The left edge passing superb. Croker superb conversion from the sideline.

Raiders 36-8

[dubby]

Agree pig. Huddy keeps improving.

[The Nickman]

Croker to Valemei, but they’re both ****!! Our backs suck!! We have no attack!!!

[Canberra Milk]

Gee we've got it in us... great play

[afgtnk]

More of that please. Two halves linking up

[GreenMachine]

Finally a slick backline play results in a try.

[dubby]

Gotta be happy with the improvement this half.

Good job boys.

[Green Taipan]

Great games from Jack, Hudson-Young and Tapine. Semi after a horrid start came good as well.

[Elcaptcroker]

So good to finally see that play stick

Hudson developing really nicely. The way we are using him in attack has a bit of Victor Radley about it. He's got good soft hands and runs a good line. If we can get him fit enough to get up and back each time he will also be available as the extra support runner through the middle on many plays. Fingers crossed for big future.

[Pete Cash]

Ripper of a kick

[Hong Kong Raider]

Croker's kicking amazingly

[afgtnk]

Great games from Jack, Hudson-Young and Tapine. Semi after a horrid start came good as well.

Our three clear best. Tapine has become incredibly consistent

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min Josh Kerr is also out of the game.

[The Nickman]

The deficiencies in Croker’s leadership really on display here today too

[raiderskater]

Who was that limping? Hudson?

[Botman]

We need to sort these first halves out though
All well and good to be a strong second half team but the games can be over starting the way we do against good teams

[Canberra Milk]

Let's go 40

[The Greenhouse]

74th min ERROR DRAGONS from Aitken, another red zone chance for Canberra.

[afgtnk]

Why, Jack.

[Boomercm]

We've upgraded from the 7-11 to the Sizzler

[afgtnk]

Dragons are **** awful. That opening 20 from us was a near travesty, letting them get on top like that

Not the whole story, but part of it is that Havili has not recently been playing at hooker in the 1st halves

[Ultima]

Ok.... I guess?

[raiderskater]

FIELD GOAL!

[Botman]

Don’t mind that
A little target practice
Get the eye in a bit

[The Greenhouse]

77th min FIELD GOAL RAIDERS to George Williams.

Canberra Raiders 37
St George Illawarra Dragons 8

[afgtnk]

A belting always looks better on an odd number

[Hong Kong Raider]

I like the field goal! But hope we get over 40

Young having a massive game.

[Ultima]

Knock on? **** off!

[afgtnk]

Yikes. Don't need George to make that effort at this time and put himself at risk of injury

[Botman]

Ooof no try I think

[The Greenhouse]

78th min TRY RAIDERS to George Williams. Kick ahead from Corey Harawira-Naera, Williams chases and grounds it. But the bunker says NO TRY, knocked on.

Canberra Raiders 37
St George Illawarra Dragons 8

80th min FORCED LINE DROP OUT conceded by the Dragons.

FULL TIME

Ruthless Raiders put Dragons to the sword

The Canberra Raiders have kept their top four hopes afloat, with star playmaker Jack Wighton scoring two tries in Saturday's 37-8 thrashing of St George Illawarra in Wollongong.

Canberra's win was their 12th of the season, lifting them past the Rabbitohs into fifth spot heading into their final two games against the Warriors (home) and Cronulla (away).
