Match Day Thread vs Raiders

[Johnny Tobin]

67% - it was 72% in the first. When you're up by 20 and clearly dominating, I can't see anything wrong with trying a bit of razzle dazzle, but that does mean you make more mistakes.

Seemed worse than that.

The SMH has published a photo of Fergo leaving the SFS on crutches. Doesn't look good...

Aiden Guerra seemed to miss a lot of tackles today shirt grabbing.
Anyone else notice that??

Yep I noticed. He had a quiet game and I think was guilty of missing that winger a few times in the first half. Can't remember his name but he is hard to tackle and played fullback for Canberra last week.

I think Guerra sometimes looks for the hit and spin too much instead of just running hard at the line. There was an occasion he was bringing the ball out from our 20 and could see a defender coming from behind left. Instead of just running straight he actually stopped and tried to jink inside. But to be fair to him that's the way he plays and he has been very good for a while now.

Great to get out to my first game of the year today. Spewing the raiders went in for a try as I back us to win to nil at 12/1. Thought Guerra was very quiet tonight. But geez taukeiaho and Evans are both so dominant off the bench. If we win the comp it will be those two that give us the edge off the bench. Our bench is the best in the league at the moment.

The winger you speak of is Jordan Rapana. He was solid today....easily their best, Very hard to put down and extremely unlucky to be denied that marginal try.

Yep that was him. He is actually more damaging at fullback. Even better last week . I didn't think there was any doubt he was on side.

There was one terrible miss by him in the second half, I cannot remember who he missed but it was an extremely lazy effort from an representative quality player.
