Referreeing was little short of outright cheating. I have never been so livid in my life. How can you not call for the vid ref when a 'try' is 20cm short of the try line? How can a kick chaser get manhandled and then let play continue? Outright cheating.

My father in law (raiders supporter) came with me tonight. Last time he came was Daley's last game, they beat us then too. Last time I bring him to a game. :-(

And I had to shout him. No wonder, he'd given all his money to the bloody ref

Was strange. Saw the cops sprinting up and then nothing happened. Not that I could see anyway. They came back down empty handed. I was in aisle 35.

Mate, The Bai Standers have NEVER had a cowbell or drum :?
Our trusty Kazoos do us just fine for our try dance ;)

Call it female intuition, but one of my friend's partner laid $100 on the Raiders on my insistence. I just knew we would lose tonight.

It was in 34 up behind up. Handbags at 10 paces between a freaky looking woman & this bloke. The cops just want to get out of there to be honest;. I wanted them AWAY from our group, as I don't want the reputation we were involved in any trouble at all.

Yeah, we were flat tonight. The team was awfully flat. Billy looked to be running at half pace tonight. So did Cam. Maybe the hard weekend they had last weekend had more a long time effect on the rep players than we think. We BADLY lack any real spark in attack & I think they all reckoned it would all happen by itself.

In hindsight we probably should have taken the 2 at 12-all. We thought we were good enough to go over & weren't. (And yes, the refereeing was atrocious. A try where he didn't get the ball over the line then the one when his foot edged the line but was called a fair try. Utter bullshit!

Congrats Raiders.No point being a sore loser :-(

Refereeing was dreadful, but so was Storm's performance.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Won't argue with that. We were terrible.
