Rd 6 @ Canberra

Cam Smith ran the ball more and had more metres than Proctor. Can someone legit tell me what Proctor does well ? Glasby out plays him every game.

I was very frustrated with Proc today. He seemingly does not get involved except for set plays... Most of our attacking was down Proc's edge and he still barely had a run.

And even then, if he isn't directly put through a hole, he doesn't really threat the line very often. Can't break a tackle or offload. He's extremely frustrating to watch.

last week many fatiguy hit Billy late.. out for 4 weeks.. twice today Coops got tackled twice late after kicking and no penalties what is going on. I don`t think Coops will be playing next week he looked hurt today.

For me the game was never in doubt. we were always going to win much to the disappointment of vossy

I have heard a rumor that Cronk is playing with broken ribs.

its not a rumour

[stormy]

Wow how can he play with broken ribs....I was in hospital for a week with broken ribs and off work for 2 months most shocking pain I have ever had

[glennb]

Well it is still is a rumour because the club has not confirmed it. I know "people" have been talking about it, but no one has said his ribs are broken. The words sore. tender, bruised are being used.

[JimmyThunder]

He is playing with rib cartilage damage very painful tough lad

Superstar

Bromwich having his worst game in purple also, this is f***ed.

Sorry... but someone had to. ..

And yes. ..100% superstar - best front rower in the game today

I think Coopz could use a week off. ... but I doubt he'd want to. ... he's not going to get any better if he keeps getting bashed every week. .. which is inevitable. .. and then there's origin, where they hit even harder - but missing him for one week is surely better than losing him for the season

[glennb]

Thanks Jimmy thunder, now we know and yes he is very tough. Always has been.

I stand by it, had a shocking first half, luckily its a game of 2 halves

[LESStar58]

Gutsy, character building win.

Bill who? Just kidding. In all seriousness Munster was solid.

[1999]

Just watched the entire 1st half again, Bromwich forced a drop ball to Cronk, threw a forward pass to McLean, dropped the ball cold on a hit-up in the 39th minute and gave away the penalty under the sticks to give Canberra a shot at goal at 8-2 which they made 10-2. I love J-Brom but it was a tale of 2 halves 100%.

Stormy Vatuvei's tackle was legitimate and was when Billy had made a break from a scrum and Vatuvei just came in from Billy's blind side. It was Ikahihifo that hit him illegally as MK5 scored.

Interesting watching the Raiders interview after the game.

Sticky reckons the best team lost and they both bemoaned the fact that the 50-50 calls didn't go their way.
They must've missed the 2 bullshit obstruction calls.
