They were thinking about next friday..

[Guest]

That whole second half was a team that had their eyes on the next game..

We obviously should've won that game,but i'm not too disappointed..

We showed enough in that first half & had no luck in the second half..

I doubt they will drop their guards again in next weeks blockbuster..

I'm as happy after a loss as i'm ever going to be..

Bring on those mangy dogs..

Go Easts..

I disagree, we played worse then parra tonight, discipline & errors is still an issue, if we need to cut them out & will win, even if the forwards dont go that well, dogs are going to embarrass us if this continues. It is hard to gauge what the quality of our team really is, we beat a FLAT broncos & a pathetic Parra.

Some of our fans were as guilty as the players, check out the robbo's tactics vs dogs thread written well before the raiders game. No team can just expect to turn up and expect an easy win. Even the mighty rabbitohs struggled today.

Strangely i'm more confident against the dogs now than if we won today. Still the dogs will do us, they are overdue.

If the Raiders had not dropped the ball so much in the first half we would have been done by 20. We got lucky in the first half and found out in the second.

Time to regroup, if we play like we did today the Dogs and Merge will walk all over us.

SOD and Oldfield can not be selected in the team.

I call BS horrie.

Two things lost it for us today:

Mini

and

SKD.

Two very ordinary footballers in a team of superstars can lose you matches. PLOD was no standout either. And for all the RTS doubters, under the highball, against a giant in Edrick Lee, RTS took some screamers which mini could only dream about.

Thats the way i saw it too.

We bombed two tries from memory. Completed one set in the first 10 mins with a Maloney kick into touch. Didn't respect the ball at any time. We unclicked in a major way tonight.

Let's see how they respond against a very desperate Dogs.

Chook.

Mate i'm gutted we lost,but it was a game that had me worried..

Next weeks game is such a big occasion that i reckon we skimped on the prep for this game,& were focusing on next week more than tonight..

Also players seemed to be concentrating on not getting hurt in that 2nd half..

We farked up tonight,but i reckon they'll be on their game for the 80 on Friday..

What exactly do you call BS on??..

I agree Mini & SKDumb were bad,but they deadset fell asleep in that 2nd half..

[Guest]

My view of the turning point was when Mini dropped a bomb in goal with no pressure. Raiders took advantage, momentum swung heavily their way as they scored soon after and never looked back.

btw RTS was dominated in the air in the first 15 min by his opposition. He has a lot of growing to do still.

We'll need to be mate. Massive test for us. We're coming up against a team that's had the wood on us forever. The whole SBW factor. Off a shit loss. They are desperate and will come at us with everything. Ennis will into SBW from the word go. Big build up in the press...

Better start getting ready now.

Chook.

This was the game they could've and should've won.

The team is too small...got run over.

That's about it in a nutshell.

Drop the ball all day...we lose.
FPN and Tupou don't play, we lose.

I'm an easts fan who smells the sh*t from the roses. Tonight was Edgar..Edgar Britt

We got smashed tonight ...pure and simple. We lost the 2nd half 24-6. You will excuse me if I struggle to see where exactly we were "cruising".

A top 4 team , does not lose that game.

15 blokes are carrying 3, whilst that is happening , we are going nowhere.

What happened to the 17 man game???
