Good attack but woeful defence and some poor handling at critical times. The team doesn't know how to protect a lead. BTW for anyone in HK during the footie season, the Wanchai Stadium in Lockhart Rd in Wanchai is a great venue.
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

Absolutely. Ricky probably didn't even like that play, not percentage enough. He seemed offended pre match when Ennis asked him if Savage would spend any time at fullback

Woolfords service fell off the cliff in that last ten minutes.

So many silly errors and dumb penalties to bring them back into the game.

The quality really deteriorates after our starting props go off.

Horse 106 m in that half
You're right, I'm hoping that Mariota shows some steel when he finally gets on, and outshines either Saulo or Guler to take their spot for the rest of the year

Raiders leading 22-18 at half time and Horse and Young and Fog and Jack playing very well. Our side looked to have run out of gas leading into half time. The Bulldogs making easy ground and their grubber kicks are hurting the Raiders. But really it is the meters they are making in general play that is putting them in position to pressure us. Woolford stays on the whole 1st half.

Attack decent enough, defence horrible, especially near our goal line. Why can't the Raiders defend grubbers into the in-goal? Haven't been able to for the last 20 years or so. Actually, that goes for the backline defence in general, been garbage forever. The Whitehead/Fogarty channel is an open invitation to any team with a half decent attack.

I think the Bulldogs have more points in them in the 2nd half. If they get a similar number of opportunities as the Raiders they will win.

Don't want to change a winning team, Savage needs to work on some stuff. You know how it goes

Starling will change this game down the middle, where with our pack we should be dominating.
