Every team should ALWAYS do a shirt kick off against us.

Gotta figure out a solid strategy to take these short kick-offs

Can't be letting the opposition get the ball back so easily

FULL TIME

Canberra Raiders 30
Wests Tigers 12

Papalii binned 10 minutes after the hooter. Lots of feeling out there!

George Williams named Raiders man of the match.

MATCH REPORT: Green Machine clicks into gear to power past Tigers

Ryan James made a triumphant return to the NRL, joining a powerhouse Raiders bench in steering their side to an emphatic win over Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Playing his first NRL match since April 21, 2019, James added the try that gave Canberra a lead they wold not surrender as part of a solid 46-minute performance.

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

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!!

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.

I didn’t know a player could be binned after the final whistle, or any decision really

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

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.

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.

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.
