Every team should ALWAYS do a shirt kick off against us.
You will get it 90% of the time.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
Gotta figure out a solid strategy to take these short kick-offs
Can't be letting the opposition get the ball back so easily

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
Solid win
**** first half, but comfortably outclassed them in the second. Wasn't in doubt after that first 10 or so minutes after the break

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
I’m giggling at the thought of just how far Crocker would get driven back on a kick return, where the defence has some runway... he’d end up back over the dead ball line!!Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑March 14, 2021, 4:52 pmWith Kris looking the goods at left centre I expect to see a Croker to fullback thread soon.Kryptonite wrote: ↑March 14, 2021, 4:44 pm I dont get all the negative comments about CNK?

Thought the spine was solid tbh.
Gotta give massive wraps to George in defence. He didn't have it easy

We were really clunky in the first half. Once the cobwebs got blown away we were much better. Still room to improve and not doubt Sticky will work on that. Overall we have to be happy to kick off the season with a solid win.

Gotta say Rapana surprised me, pick of the backs! And Kris is first grade, regardless.

Raps had a full off season with an NRL team and not a Japanese rugby club. He looks much better for it.Mullins_y2k wrote: ↑March 14, 2021, 5:02 pm Gotta say Rapana surprised me, pick of the backs! And Kris is first grade, regardless.

Deemed a professional foul that ended the game prematurely. Tigers get the penalty and Raiders defend a man down.

Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
The very best we looked was getting on a role coming out of our own end and CNK getting into first receiver with momentum. He’s not a conventional modern day fullback. He’s almost our up tempo ‘little lock’ in these situations and that needs to be championed by Stuart imo.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
Re: 2021 Rd 1 V Tigers: Game Day
A good call by the ref imo and hopefully it is replicated when teams slow down the last set like that when the game is still on the line.Northern Raider wrote: ↑March 14, 2021, 5:08 pmDeemed a professional foul that ended the game prematurely. Tigers get the penalty and Raiders defend a man down.

Mission Accomplished - 2 competition points. A bit of rust which will come good the more they play. Impressed with Ryan James and with George Williams goal kicking. I think we have come through relatively unscathed. Seb Kris is a first grader no question. I don't think the Raiders had a poor player. Some poor plays yes but limited and all did other things which were positive. Now for the Sharks away next week.
