No changes to the 17 (so far) for Canberra's biannual Grand Final, as per the club site.
Anyone making the ~ 450km road trip for this?

According to latest from Storm, it is last week's 17 plus Jayden Nikorima and Marion Seve to make up the 19.

Congratulations Ryan Papenhuyzen on scoring 300 points.
Good start by Storm.

Raiders hit back at end of half. Based on that happy with 18-8.
Fingers crossed for Pappy.

Once again, some fairly sloppy defence and ineffective tackling brought the opposition back into the game. It looked like the 18 points created some complacency and a drop in intensity from our guys.

This is putrid defence - if Canberra weren't so sloppy themselves we'd be in a lot of trouble. Not impressed at all with this performance.

Edge defence on both sides is poor.
Smith and Coates are disgraceful.

I'm fine with our right edge conceding meters in defence as long as we work the attackers to the sidelines.
A good game so far but penalties have made us look less polished. Nelson has played his best game for the year, and what great timing.
Surely majority of our reports are thrown out?

Right edge gave away way too much space all game. Must have been a plan? Decision making from them was as poor as it’s been though and will need more work.
Still think after the initial stint the forward pack completely drops off. We didn’t look in the game in the second half and outside of Hughes brilliance/ Raiders being terrible the game would’ve been closer.

Just relieved we kept a wing pairing 2 weeks in a row

But that's not what they're doing. it's sheer chaos out there.

Also, our general tackling was really poor. Heaps of ineffective and missed tackles. I think the Raiders had 8 line breaks too.

...and our kicking game from all was poor.
