31st min ERROR RAIDERS from George Williams on the last. It was a poor set from Canberra, attacking in the red zone.

The ball never gets as far as the centres in the opposition 20. This would be the type of game to get them some ball as the middle third crash game isn't going to scare anyone in October.

Why are we allergic to the interchange bench in the first 30? What are we trying to prove?

True, but it's not as if our centres are going to do much damage anyway if it does get to them

It’d be nice to give them the opportunity to prove that right or wrong though wouldn’t it?

We gotta hold the ball. All these errors will just kill us against top teams as we saw last week, and they're almost killing us in these games too.

I'm attacking in the right way, instead of just...attacking in the general direction. - Max Aaron (also eerily apropos for the Green Machine)

I wouldn't know about Rapa as in this 3 games at centre he has barely seen the ball haha.

It's gonna suck getting smashed out of the finals... Ricky wants finals footy now... this side has no right to think like that. Even cobar under 8s can hold the ball and offer more than this one out bull****

That is truly shocking from a first grade winger. Near amateur stuff

36th min TRY DRAGONS to Cody Ramsey in the corner, taking the the Harbour Bridge pass from Dufty. Valemei attempted the intercept, but he should have covered the winger in defence. It has been a fairly average performance from the Raiders in this first half. The Raiders should have a much bigger lead, but they don't because the have not taken their opportunities with the ball in hand. And the defence has some chinks. No conversion Lomax.

Raiders 12-8

Valemei just looks like a park footballer put into the NRL. Shocking call to select him after last week.
