Attack is much better in my opinion.
Good half for us to build on I think.

Knights are same position on the ladder is us. We can only play whats in front of us.

Knights have been poor and undisciplined. Let’s hope that the ref doesn’t give them a leg up like we’ve seen on our leads this year.

Good disciplined half. Seen this before though. Sustaining it has been our problem. Hoping 16 points is a big enough lead.

Fair call given our form of late but I heard a stat earlier this week that the last 23 times the knights trailed at half time they have lost.

You need to factor in the Canberra variable though. It changes everything.

Good half from Williams but I would like him to go to the line and pass right instead of turning back inside so regularly.

A bit scrappy after we got the 4 points, but played well towards the end. I like how our forwards are running straight and hard - Tapine, Horse, Young. Love watching Horse take it up and knock the defenders out like ten pins. Papa played well in the first 20 with his offloads. Starling was great. Whitehead's runs have been good. CHN good with his offloads and runs, needs to watch his defence with the bad miss on Fitzgibbon. Jack and G Williams look good. Bailey does have some pace - first time seen him run! Credit to Scott and Rapa as well.

Surely now that Sutton is gone Ricky can manage a 3 man bench. 25% less choice can only help him..,

Aside from positional issues Aitkens just needs to at least stick after a line break. In attack he has done a few good things though.

How good has Rapana been? Such a good player, running it out and always looks likely in attack. Looks better on the right in his natural habitat too.

His work to support the ball carrier and trail attacking play is excellent if you ask me.

I’m looking forward to CNK’s return and I don’t mind if it’s in the #1 - but there should at least be some discussion as to whether we are a better backline and team overall with Aekins FB/CNK wing or centre don’t you reckon?

He’s been very good but if he still had that extra yard of pace he’s lost he would be next level.

That piss-head riding the fence at Wagga is related to someone here; never been more sure of anything in my life.

Rick would 100% be one of those people who the only way you can get them to make a change is by having them believe it’s them who came up with the idea in the first place

The Raiders had almost 65 per cent possession, so the 16-0 lead is probably the minimum we should expect. The Knights missed 22 tackles, 16 ineffective, but the Raiders could only score twice.

Short kick off from the Knights and they regather.

42nd min FORCED LINE DROP OUT conceded by the Raiders.

TRY KNIGHTS to Phoenix Crossland. That was embarrassing defence from Canberra, between Aekins and Scott, with Williams going in. Converted.

Raiders 16-6

If it was a 40 minute game we’d be a lock for the top 4.
