Absolutely. Outstanding work by Jahrome to get that away. Then Vunivalu with brute strength that most other wingers wish they had.

Scott should have still put his body on the line. Really poor effort.

It would be kind to say this is a "B" level half from us. Raiders have been dreadful and are beating themselves. We've been happy to obliged.

Agreed. Contact from Scott was dreadful.

The score line is flattering. We are playing well, but I think the margin more reflects how poor Canberra have been.

Dropped ball.
Poor defence.
And some of the worst discipline I have seen all year.

Felt like we haven't done much but we have a big lead at halftime

Enjoyable first half. The team seems better with Hughes at 7.
Bill popping up everywhere, but his success rate this season with those overhead balls must be low.

The handling has been excellent in slippery conditions.

24-4 at HT- i am taking that !

Class half, super clinical. Look several grades above the Raiders, was disappointed with Scott’s contact for Soliolas try as well but he was essentially marking 2 players as they created a short side overlap, that close to the line he didn’t have much chance, been really happy with everyone though which is rare for me, Hughes, Jesse, Kaufusi and Munster my standouts so far, hopefully we go on with it and put a bit of score on.

Agree pretty much 100% with this. Scott’s defensive effort on that try wasn’t good enough but I think Soliola scores that try 9 times out of 10 against most players, and Scott bounced back with a good try of his own so yeah. Going on with this is the big thing tho. Seen several big comebacks this weekend, 2 of them earlier today. We can’t give Canberra a sniff

Scott has been second guessing himself almost every time we've gone to him on the left edge. It's cause he's had no room to do anything.

Scott and Stimson have been pretty average, Stimson has been pinged 3 times tonight for holding down too long, he will improve with game time though.

Class kick from Hughes. We score off the repeat set.

What a great kick by Hughes, this 7 jersey is his for the rest of the campaign I think.

NAS unstoppable from there!!

The play by Hughes to know no fullback was at the back so he put a kick in was about as next level as you can get. Bellamy would love that.
