Well done to son of Sam. A great combo with Radley, Keary, Cronk and Teddy. The dopes in the media are yet to pinpoint Trents excellence in working a 21 man squad. Special mentions to Cronk on his 100th try, Morris’s hat trick and positional play and Crichton’s performance and Lattrells goal kicking.
Up Easts.

I don't wanna talk it up too much but for those who have never seen it, Canberra use their home advantage to the max. It's a tiny stadium and they have this idiot MC going the whole time. In summary:
- Our team doesn't get announced when we go out, instead they play boos over the speakers.
- Whenever our tries go to the bunker, stupid Mission Impossible music is played (AND LOUD!!!) with the MC making it clear he thinks it's no try. He'll even heckle the refs' decisions if they go our way.
- There's stupid music and lame MC chants revving up the crowd the whole time. It sounds stupid but it's loooud and annoying. Like the stadium is almost a local ground... as a player it'd certainly flood your ears with noise.
- They rig the clock EVERY TIME!!! If we are up at 1/2 time with 3 to go and they have ball in hand then it becomes 10 (in which time they generally score) because they stop the clock early and start it late. Conversely if we are trying to catch them, the clock never stops. Soooo many times I have seen games where we are pushing them for the last 5 (and ~2 points behind) and the clock just never stops so we get maybe 1 run in the last 5 minutes. It's pathetic that they do this but they get away with it.
- Because the stadium is so tiny, ~4000 fans make it feel packed and to their credit, their crowd gets involved big time!!!
IMO the Raiders are lucky to be where they are this season but it is what it is. We're gonna have to work bloody hard to beat them!!!

The Roosters record in Canberra over the last decade is worse than Gosford. I cant remember the last time the Roosters beat Canberra in Canberra.

Next Sunday on a nice clear day in Canberra will be a much better indication about how the Roosters are travelling leading into the finals.
I cant wait.
