Even at our best we would not trouble the top teams.

No point letting this mob ruin my weekend.

A return to Furner fitness is the 2021 plot twist I never saw coming.

78th min TRY KNIGHTS to Jayden Brailey. He supports Ponga. The Knights want to win and simply, the Raiders have not shown the same determination. They have now conceded 22 unanswered points in the second half. Now 24. Ponga converts.

The Raiders have conceded 93 points to eight in second halves in the past five games.

Newcastle Knights 24
Canberra Raiders 16

FULL TIME

MATCH REPORT: Newcastle Knights comeback hands Canberra Raiders fifth straight loss

The Newcastle Knights have produced the perfect response to coach Adam O'Brien's call to arms by coming back from 16-0 down to beat Canberra 24-16 in Wagga Wagga.

Tries to Joe Tapine and Bailey Simonsson and four goals to George Williams had Canberra in control at the break but Kalyn Ponga turned the momentum with a short kick off to open the second term which the Knights regathered.

We have given two teams their biggest comebacks in history...

I think you're entitled to at least half of your membership fee back - make sense since the Raiders only plays half of matches

Another duck egg in the 2nd half. This has to be some sort of record.
The sad thing is we all saw it coming.

Raider47 · Post by **Raider47** » May 8, 2021, 4:44 pm

I am genuinely stunned.

I did not think we could do this against such a rabble like the Knights.

We are **** abysmal. Clean the joint out.

Ricky needs to man up and hand in his resignation. He has no clue how to coach or manage players! The second half stats are beyond appalling for the Raiders!

Mercury · Post by **Mercury** » May 8, 2021, 4:45 pm

Stick a fork in Ricky - he's done.

And not a single second half point.

Absolutely **** pathetic.

Either Stuart mans up and shows some accountability, or that **** fraud Furner and Hawke do it for him.

Billy Walker · Post by **Billy Walker** » May 8, 2021, 4:47 pm

I’ll be really annoyed if Ricky puts on some petulant performance in the press conference where he sulks about something and walks out after 2 questions. Own it Ricky! Sit there and give us some answers!

LastRaider · Post by **LastRaider** » May 8, 2021, 4:47 pm

Dear Raiders Management

We need

1. A organising half!
2. A ball playing fullback
3. A attacking centre
4. A winger with speed
5. A nee coach

Green Blogger · Post by **Green Blogger** » May 8, 2021, 4:47 pm

Lack of game control is the issue. In the second half they have:

Allowed a short kick off at the start.

Wighton knocked on in attack on the 3rd.

Whitehead has run it on the 5th and handed the ball over 25m out instead of having a good kick chase and pressuring Knights only to then have them march downfield and score.

Williams has kicked it out on the full.

Rapana makes a big break and kicks it away on the 1st tackle.

All bad mistakes that give away control of the game and ultimately increase fatigue in defence. No football smarts to control the game.
