There is going to be a lot of bitching about the disallowed try and it was a terrible decision but lets not ignore the fact that we blew a couple of tries and our defense was once again putrid when it mattered.

What the hell has happened to our defence? Every time a team offloads and goes wide we look like concededing, especially on our left. Norrie and honchcliffe offer absolutely nothing going forward.
Some tough times ahead, warriors on Friday will be an even tougher contest.

Piss poor edge decision making in attack and defence. A lot of passes which should have stuck in the dry conditions

Warriors with their ad-lib football will run riot on us on Friday. Put Hunt in 5/8 please

Defence defence defence. Oh and sloppy errors in our own half. And defence defence defence. Pathetic performance. We let them stay in the game just after half time with all our stupid errors. It's just the same shit every week and I'm sick of none of the players being held accountable for it. A good team puts 40 on Canberra today and wins by 30.

I don't like Ben Roberts, but I hate seeing players injured. Hopefully the knee isn't too bad and he's back out playing in a couple of weeks.

Also because I'm angry. Cam Smith is a terrible kicker and his miss cost us.

My God....you could have driven a B-Double through the hole Vaughan went through to score.

That Waqa no-try call was shocking but the way we let in tries these days are even a greater worry.

I cringe when I see Young crowd in every time. Credit 2 Raiders tries to this habit today.

I bet the Sydney media will not carry on this week about the Sisa wrong call like they did last week about the Dragons. I bet it will be all about how good the Raiders played.

they will claim payback.. :( (they will forget the wrong titans penalty)..I am so sick of the atrocious calls by the refs.they should let the teams determine who win. What a novel idea do you think it might catch on?

That's the way I saw it. Had our chances and didn't capitalise on it.

The stripping rule is very annoying this season, just let the ball go and you get a penalty. Every team is doing now. The refs this year and been the worse than ever before. none of them can get the calls right central, touch, video all getting it wrong. It looks like the flip a coin before the start of the match and decide who is going to win.
