Sick of these sweep plays, when are the Raiders going to try a crash ball on the line? What team am I watching?

Not a great last 2 minutes from you alpha

Time to take a breather I reckon.
...... it was Simonsson that got around him on the rollover, dude.

Think you've had a few tonight :lol:
Bold stuff from one of 2 guys in the country who thinks Croker is responsible for Wighton’s **** pass
Just because you've decided to let pass go past you and let it go to ground does not mean the blame is shifted to the passer

Croker's been absolute pus so far and completely out of step. Rapana too

Wighton must be short on confidence. How did he drop that

40th min Hodgson kick out on the full. The half ends with Simonsson kicking ahead... too long.

Parramatta Eels 12
Canberra Raiders 10

HALF TIME

If we can not waste sets by going out to a do or die play to Rapana... that'll be great.

Blowing possession with stupid sideways play.
Never thought I’d utter the words, but Papalli has been poor by his standards.

Rapana is not an attacking weapon anymore. Stop going to him every play please Ricky

Good quality game, enjoying our ball movement. Maybe moving too far away from direct forward play.

Rapana needs to know when he’s no chance of scoring and come back in.

It should be Rapana's last year. He just doesn't have it anymore. But at least he tries hard - compare his output to Bailey. I watched Sia very closely as well - he offered nothing. Stuart is a very stubborn coach and I'm getting sick of his decisions. He has his favourites like Croker who don't deserve his spot over Kris. Guler and G Williams playing well.

I actually think we’ve looked alright. In weeks gone past we’ve been too timid to throw it around and we’ve been frustrated at the attack. There’s a bit more creativity about it tonight. I just think we need better edge players to execute properly. Raps is serviceable but he’s done after this season

Halves, Sutton, Tapine all excellent. Aekins very solid.

Rapana and Croker - Christ. We could've had an extra 2-3 tries there

For a game that's hardly a clinic in high class footy it's been fun to watch.

Biggest critique is that we could be a little more direct and our line speed isn't great. We are losing the yardage battle by the eye test

I'm actually happy to see us attacking a bit more, although yes it's not polished. I'm more annoyed at the mistakes and two easy tries. Wighton should have caught that and we'd be up

Two fresh benchies should help us second half

Someone needs to tell Jack to stick to kicking down the middle. That way a decent % of his kicks will land on a winger anyway.
