Honestly, I think it’s fair to say that if the raiders can’t get up and win for dubby today, then we won’t win another game this season.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

We finally have confirmation that Matt Timoko is the 18th man. Knights now out on the field... next up there will be a Viking Clap, with the Viking Horn sounded by Simon Woolford. It is the worst Viking clap you'd ever see. Now here come the Raiders. Raiders kick off, we are underway!

3rd min Good offload Papalii and great runs from Starling and Williams ensures it is good territory for the Green Machine in that set.

Don't know a thing about you dubby but empathise with your position, champ.

Recently met up with two old mates I hadn't seen in 10 years to organise a 20 year school reunion. Catching up on life and plenty of brews later, I opened up about my struggles going through a rough broken engagement etc, only to find out both lads had been through much worse and one was still heavily medicated.

Began with us all walking into the bar pretending like we were on top of the world, but left with a legitimate feeling of support and comfort.

Chin up mate. Like one of the other guys said, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) goes through it*. Take care.

*tough times/issues I am referring to, not specifically bad break-ups.

That first set was looking garbage, second phase play, we pin them in their corner. Why are we so afraid of using the ball like that more?

4th min RAIDERS SET RESTART for a ruck infringement on an early tackle. Williams kick to the corner is defused by the Knights, Rapana was chasing it hard.

Good set in defence too, at least our attitude it looking a world better, but the second half will be the big tell.

6th min FORCED LINE DROP OUT conceded by the Knights. Jack Wighton kick to the corner is followed by driving defence from Canberra, takes the Knights back into the in goal.

Maybe we needed people to doubt us again? We do always seem to be better as underdogs (although we were favourites for this game still).

7th min PENALTY RAIDERS with Guler upended. They are going for goal from in front.

PENALTY GOAL RAIDERS to George Williams.

Raiders 2-0

Disagree with the kick here though... We had them pinned, we aren't going to win a game by two points...

I genuinely don’t care how good we look in the first half, if we don’t knock up 30 by halftime, we’re toast

10th min ERROR KNIGHTS They can't take the Williams bomb. Great offload from Papalii in that set. Raiders scrum 10 metes out.

PENALTY RAIDERS breaking from the scrum early. That's not a differential. They're going for penalty goal again from in front.

PENALTY GOAL RAIDERS to George Williams. These are gift points, but it's probably a sign that the Raiders are planning on grinding this out.

Raiders 4-0

Rapana was penalised for more than that yet again... We get the ball anyway but they need to **** decide what the rule is, he certainly didn't have "eyes for the ball"...
