2024 Canberra Raiders NSW Cup

[Makaveli]

Cook with the ball on a string.. Cook cross field kick to Waitere sees him cross in the corner. It comes from a power set off the restart

Raiders 16-0 kick to come

[The Greenhouse]

24th min TRY RAIDERS TO Manaia Whatere. He takes the most absolutely perfect kick to the goal line from Cook on the full. It follows a kick ahead from Woolford regathered by Spencer. Converted Cook.

Raiders 18-0

[Makaveli]

Absolute carve up.. Schiller goes in for his second. Comes off a scrum from a Magpies error

Raiders 22 zip kick to come

[Botman]

Awful defence
Dunno if Schiller has a long fg career in him but he always looks a cut above at this level

[The Nickman]

Man, Schiller can’t be far off first grade, hey.

[The Greenhouse]

29th min TRY RAIDERS to James Schiller. His second, he just breaks through some weak defence on a scrum play. Converted Cook.

Raiders 24-0

[zim]

Great take by Asomua.

[The Nickman]

Mooney is just so dominant in the middle at this level
Colour commentator was right to point out his impact on creating the space for Cook and Spencer to get that try
Nice line and pass still from those players

Hahaha holy ****, just found out the “colour commentator” is none other than Mark Carroll.

I actually genuinely thought it sounded like a spud, now I have confirmation.

[Botman]

That’s extremely well read by asomua
Good early decision to get the football off to Chevy
Love that

[The Nickman]

Jesus Christ, that last try made me blow in my pants a little there

Haha yeah I was quite shocked it was Spud
Makes sense that the only decent commentary he’s made was about a front rower lol

[Makaveli]

Raiders go the length.. Asomua defuses a grubber on his own in goal, bursts through into the back field and finds Stewart in support who runs 50 to score

Raiders 28-0 kick to come

[LimeGreenMachine]

What a try. Chevy with pace. 100m try.

Great 1st half

[The Greenhouse]

37th min TRY RAIDERS to Chevy Stewart. SENSATIONAL! Michael Asomua made the break deep inside Canberra territory and he had less speed than we thought he might. But Stewart was backing up and they couldn’t catch him. Adam Cook converts.

Raiders 30-0

[NoMan]

Cant wait to watch those two combining in first grade.

Before they confirmed who it was I was thinking “who is this brain dead **** it sounds like they got straight out of the front bar at the Royal?“

And now we know

[LimeGreenMachine]

Spud has been commentating NSW cup for a few years at least.

[NoMan]

That wasnt forward!

Weekes has been pretty quiet but everything he has done is quality.

[The Greenhouse]

HALF TIME

Canberra Raiders 30
Western Suburbs Magpies 0

Terrific half of footy from Canberra.

[The Nickman]

My first reaction was “that’s forward!” and I haven’t seen a replay yet

[Botman]

Good first half! Raiders all over them
If they want to keep the foot on the throat this should be a 50 burger

[-PJ-]

Where can I get a Cup jersey ?

That should be our 1st grade strip.

And Nickman..don’t wear pants.

[Bloody_Burnham]

Stewart, Asomua, Schiller and Mooney should all be in first grade by the end of the season.

[NoMan]

Mooney with 150 metres in that half.

I struggle to recall a better middle at NSW cup level who has played as well for an extended period and not got a decent crack at first grade.

[Rick]

Some very good signs for the Raiders future in this game.

Cook looks like he could do a job filling in for the Fog

Chev is looking amazing, great to see that pace.

Schiller is putting some serious pressure on Hoppa and Cotric. He does not look big but he seems to be a strong player with some nice pace and skill.

Mooney is having a game. Hopefully we can get him locked up soon.

Schiller is a first grader. He reminds me of Rapana. No super athlete but can do almost anything on his day.

[Botman]

Sub optimal start
Nice run from the Maggies fullback though

[julian87]

It’s a huge mismatch this game.

Will actually be disappointing if they don’t continue to utterly dominate.

[The Greenhouse]

42nd min TRY MAGPIES to Heath Mason. Not a great tackle attempt from Chevy Stewart, and once he was past Stewart there was no stopping him. Converted Alex Lobb.

Raiders 30-6

[zim]

Classy stuff from Magpies fullback

[LimeGreenMachine]

2nd half has drop a few levels in quality so far

[Botman]

Asomua does a great job of eying up the halves and running right into their chest
Such an impressive player

[Botman]

Raiders blowing chances here to extend the lead
Hands letting them down on the final pass/moment

[The Greenhouse]

56th min SIN BIN for Magpie Declan Casey, professional foul. But the Raiders can’t take advantage. Knock on 10 metres out.

Spud loves fish fingers.
