Also, if Addo-Carr knocked on, so did the Raiders when Papenhuyzen held them up.

Klown is letting the Raiders try and injure us.
Crushers, repeated shots at Brandon's head and a clear as day hip drop on Josh.

Great work by the boys so far - especially the held up on the line.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

And three play the balls in a row they were on a 45° angle, nothing but Brandon was moving forward so no penalty when they kept kneeing his head.

And Cameron's penalty for the strip, I reckon there was only one in the tackle? Was Olam offside or did he just get up too quickly? I think the Raiders player baulked a bit.
Happy enough to not let the inconsistencies get to me.
But why oh why do we always have someone laying down behind the play the ball? It happens so often it must be the plan to ensure we don't give away penalties when getting back on side???

Brandy is the best. He just finished defending the second unpenalised crusher on Tino, “sometimes players just get themselves into awkward positions, he was running sideways, not a penalty” 🙄🙄🙄

Vunivalu grabs a jersey, “pressure on the neck there”.

MASSIVE flog.

Great first 25. Raiders started poorly, but had a better last 15 minutes. Glad we stopped them from scoring a second try. But if Raiders score first try of second half, it is only 12 points and game on.

Outrageous there was no penalty for Tino. Fatty said he copped the trifecta a shoulder charge, a swinging arm and then a crusher.

Embarrassing display from Klein to keep Canberra in the contest in that second half.

Did well to defend most opportunities. Wish we’d kept them scoreless though.

I'd say that Cam getting chaired off is a farewell from NRL, a goodbye for the Suncorp fans

It seemed pretty obvious from the get-go that the message from Bellamy was about starting well.

That was a wonderful, wonderful performance. What a club. Smith making that tackle on Cotric summed the team's resolve tonight.

I'd argue that prelims are a better game than the grand final. Also the experience of a prelim is overall more enjoyable.
