Let’s not act like raiders

[IRoosterManI]

Last season after the GF raiders did nothing but blame the refs... this may be an unpopular opinion but let’s not do the same.. end of the day we had our chances and if Teddy doesn’t slip and we don’t let a soft try or 2 in we win tonight... we have had a great run the last 2 years and it was always going to be tough coming back with all the injuries this year... I’m proud of the boys and hope they get a ton of rest to come back next season. GG Raiders.

Very well said mate.

And how good was Dan Tupou...wow.

Some soft defence in that first half cost us.

Still proud of the boys tonight for getting back into it.

100% right, we may not have saved our best for last but I'm proud how we hung in there all year with all the injuries we had.

Easts to Win. Can't win them all.

[mattyh]

well take it on the chin, watch pit next year.

could have gone either way. raiders scrambling defence was better than ours.

Toups probably cost us the game by being out of the play in the first half when Morris looked for him.

Raiders played out of their skins tonight, I hope they take Malbourne out in a big way next week . Chooks for ever !

Man they were enthusiastic , dare I say a long way offside a lot of the game

Yep agreed. It's fukking over!!!

Well done Faders, congrats on the win, you've got your vengeance on us now... best wishes.

It's been one hell of a ride and the only team I care about is Easts. Well done, you went down fighting, it was amazing seeing SBW one more time and I hope you all enjoy going back to your families a week early!

Peace out everybody. This year has been sooooo tense on so many fukking levels and the sooner it's behind us, the better!!

I don’t give a rats about them whingeing last year. The only ones robbed in last years GF was us. Should have been a bigger scoreline.

We weren’t robbed tonight but were werent helped either. I said a few days ago that we needed to be better than the refs tonight and unfortunately we weren’t. We allowed them to make it hard for us. We allowed them to give Canberra every opportunity they could.

[Pablo Escobar]

refs had nothing to do with it....

we came out and let those kuunts score 3 tries before we decided to start playing.

fkn unacceptable

they are shit and the storm will flog them

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

The refs didn't decide the game but didn't produce a level playing field either. We cannot use that as an excuse. We were not good enough, full stop. We will regroup and come back bigger and better next season. Looking forward to a break now to be honest.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

The refs arent why we lost 3 straight. The defensive effort in those games was unacceptable. Pain and simple. It should have been fixed after the souffs lost.... It wasn't.

Injuries killed the season. You need luck with injuries. We had none

[Team Evil]

Great post OP,
Bring on next year, I think we will be very competitive.
We don't have as long to wait
