2024 Round 1 v Knights: Game Day

[skeepe]

I’m basically resigned to this being a rebuilding season… so why am I so nervous right now?

[greeneyed]

Very pleased to hear Ricky Stuart tell us tonight that all of the new recruits this year are footy players. It wouldn’t have been good if they were cricketers.

Deep down, you have a glimmer of hope. We all do. And it’s possible. We might actually go ok this year.

Or we’re gonna get spanked!

Bring it on !!!!

[mikeraider]

Who else is rocking the alternative raiders jersey? I bought mine on the raiders shop got the last XL size.

[skeepe]

Oh no, here we go…

[PerthRaider86]

All i want this year is us not to be giving up 50-60m per defensive set


i can dream cant i???

[The Greenhouse]

The Raiders playing in the green for the season opener. And here they come! Led onto the field by Joe Tapine. Now the Knights. It is a good crowd, but there are a surprisingly large number of empty seats.

The Raiders kick off, we're underway.

[mikeraider]

Viking clap here we go !!! Raiders learning experience or immediate success.

[Billy Walker]

Giddy up

Im hoping they still have bigger sizes for when i can get one

[Botman]

Ugh... strange on the left. To be expected but still a small disappointment

[Ultima]

What a **** terrible opening set...

[mikeraider]

Not sure about foggery kicking early doors

[Ultima]

35m, 38m... garbage start..

[Billy Walker]

We are getting a bit monstered

[NoMan]

Still using the wingers as props I see.

[Billy Walker]

Good turn over Levi

[Ultima]

I've seen pensioners with replacement hips get off the ground quicker than we are...

[Billy Walker]

That’s a try

[The Greenhouse]

5th min PENALTY KNIGHTS Raiders off side. Fortunately Ponga loses the ball 10 metres into the Raiders' half. Canberra have had to withstand quite a bit of good attack from the Knights in the first five minutes.

[Motiv8dan]

I am hoping Timoko has a monster year.....

Good start from Hoppa, speed bumped by Gagai, completely whiffs in the air with a clearn look

[Makaveli]

How did Hopoate not catch that essentially uncontested bomb

[The Greenhouse]

7th min Going to the video referee for a possible try to Canberra. Ponga lost the ball and Savage grounded the ball. But Hopoate knocked on in the contest for the ball with Ponga. NO TRY.

[Billy Walker]

Here we go

[The Greenhouse]

9th min PENALTY RAIDERS Bradman Best lifting the leg of Papalii in the tackle, twice. The set ends with an error from Tapine in the red zone.

[Ultima]

Man I really thought three crash balls to flat footed forwards would have done it there... shockingly it didn't.

[Postman Pat]

Red zone three prop hit ups, great stuff.

[Billy Walker]

Not a high quality game so far

[mikeraider]

Gagai the absolute grub player

[Roger Kenworthy]

Zac Woolford isn't the most nuanced hooker around, but he looks like Cameron Buderus-Hodgson by comparison to Levi.
