Terrible choke by the sharks with the match going down to the wire. It's bad enough they shot themselves in the foot & gave away a try whilst in possession, but to complete the Benny Hill multi & do it again moments later.... 

I disagree. Canberra should have been on top the whole game. Only got behind because the Sharks got some good calls and lucky bounces. Surprised the raiders didn’t hit 50

What a performance by the Hawks against top table Demons! 
Ended up a draw but they gave it a real shake, stole the lead in last quarter, lost it again and came home strongly. Another minute and they couldn't have found a win

Take it elsewhere buddy... we don’t want your kind here... 

That's fair enough but how the sharks got to a 2 point lead towards the end is a different story though. I meant when it was getting close to next try wins it, sharks shot themselves in the foot twice within minutes & gifted the raiders with 2 tries while in possession. 

Fine..
I'll talk soccer then!

Bird watchers from hell are always welcome here.

I assume that was what he meant by Hawks and  Demons 

Why not, I am sure that you know just as much about it.

The Sharks certainly didn’t do themselves any favours. But I never felt that they were a chance. The Canberra forwards were making shitllads of meters and offloading the ball to easily. 

Bwahahaha… Douglas!!

Hahahaha… Go Doc!!

I tell you what... I only saw glimpses of the game but watching the highlights this morning it's a real shame we let go of CHN.

Every Raiders game I watch, I see him offloading in tackles at will and providing that X-factor we desperately lack - particularly on the fringes.

HD made a comment the other day that we dont have a Pritchard type player. Well.... he was it.

Not sure who is off contract in the next year or so but i can only think of Kikau (Panthers), Matterson (Eels), Olakauatu (Manly), Fifita (Titans) that fit the bill. 

Maybe Gus' appointment can influence Kikau...

TPJ

CHN dogged us, so I don't care how good he becomes. It's a no from me.

OK to start...

Great to see the big guy back. I hope he carves up

Same. Been eagerly waiting for him back in the team.
It's the presence of his big stature on the wing which will make defence just hesitate that but more than otherwise. 

I'm hoping the team lifts following the appointment of Gus and looks to make an impression.

We need to improve ball control.

Ok a bit rusty, not unexpected.

That second try was off a dead set forward pass, but souffs shouldn't have been in that position, thanks meaney.

The class and skill level between the teams is there for all to see.

We are in for a hiding if we dont complete sets

Okunbor should play prop

We need to hang in here then put some fresh troops on fir the last 10 mins ... including BBO.

We don't want a walkover

He has played in the forwards... in the lower grades.

Is the ball slippery?

BBO!

BBO!!!...

Go BBO!!!!! 😁

What a difference he has made to our forward advancement!

Coupled with Souths errors, we have evened the contest. Let's hope we can keep going.

Throw Odgen on now...

Oh my...
