Game Day: Raiders v Manly [Round 23, 2019]

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Fingers crossed the injuries aren't as bad as they might be.
Klein did his best to give the Raiders a leg up every time they had the ball and we did our best to stuff up all our chances in attack. Down 8-4 is a pretty good result the way the half played out. 8-6 would have been better (if only they'd followed the instructions from the sideline).

16 penalties in a half, what a joke.

Klein is in the running...

 

[Waz13]

Gee is Voss a raiders supporter or what?
Quick to give Whighton the try also.

He’s a c***!

Did @brad say we'd win this? Maybe that's what's missing!

I saw it somewhere.

 

[The Wheel]

Hopefully Ginga and Siro back next week

 

[Simonmyers11]

very stop start, pretty scrappy with the ball. Already missing big siro, now two more out going to be a big ask from here. Need to play near mistake free footy and for DCE to have a big second half

Joel's arm was just on screen and I couldn't see any swelling.🙂

Hopefully its just badly bruised but due to his ink no one can see it 😕

Enter fainu

 

[Waz13]

That idiot has been death riding Manly all year. He's one of the ones who had us with the wooden spoon in the pre-season.

Might need to switch to 9!

 

[Will on the hill]

We are in this up to our eyeballs, if we stop gifting them field position. We are making more metres and missing less tackles. 8-4 is pretty good considering they haven't had to work it out of their end once.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Refs have destroyed another game, 16 penalty’s in a half is pathetic

 

[robbiea]

Fainu to blow it open in the next 20 mins............

 

[susan]

We seriously need to look at API starting. It can’t be coincidence we never score a point when he’s on. Maybe use him to protect leads at the back end of game or to rest Fainu early in second for 15 min. You can’t keep the bloke who kickstarts most of our attack warming the bench early in the big games. He’s the oil to our attacking engine.

 

[Peter C]

FMD, if Kevin Walters isn't the worst commentator around I don't know who is?

A couple of injuries to key players, Klein caning us, sets us up perfectly for Sea Eagles victory.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Raiders are playing very well, especially on counter attack. We need some Blake Green style repeat set plays to put them under some pressure down their end.



edit: fixed spelling

 

[HoldenV8]

Oh Jorge.....first time he's dropped a high kick since Wollongong.

 

[The Wheel]

Oh no Jorge

 

[globaleagle]

never looked like catching that one!
