Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Raiders

[bondi paul]

Knees, knees and more knees....Slippery turf for those Raiders knees...well coached. LOL

Thugs.

[Serenader]

The injury to Verrills is a huge blow.

Just horrible luck.

I hope this doesn’t mean Rads to 9 for three weeks!!!

[Grant Hedger]

Blockers so insightful.

He still thinks it’s the “in gold area” and he played the game. There’s no hope for him.

More like a heavy 'flop'.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

High quality game, semi final type.

Crichton and Tetevano both very strong in that half, and Lattrell just loves the big games.

Hope the refs are up to it including the crowd influence.

That stripping rule has to go...don't want it deciding games and killing momentum of attacking teams. It's their big go today.

Rapana is a fkwit.

We are playing great under some difficulties. The refs turning a blind eye to the raiders being offside.

[Grant Hedger]

best part of the viking clap is when they fake blow the horn... there have been about 6 times where the sound has gone off before the guy gets to the horn lol

The Iceland soccer fans came up with the Viking clap. They were real Vikings. The Canberra fans are public servants. It doesn’t make sense. Maybe the stapler clap would make more sense.

[bondi.boy]

Thugs.

Indeed.

LOLz yeah the 80s vibe is hilarious. Give it to them though... their MC is firing up the crowd (full stadium) all the time and it's certainly a Raiders home game. Wish we had a stupid horn or something, at least it's something for the crowd...

[bondi.boy]

Refs giving raiders whatever they need to win this game. Standard behaviour at GIO stadium

Seems to be.

Nothing new...seems to be.

Toups gold!!! Worth his weight in it.

Or players can just hold the ball.

[roosterchook]

Refs keep giving the raiders good field position.

It’s no surprise the Raiders have the best defensive stats when the refs have reverted back to the 5 metre rule for the raiders
