Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
26 missed tackles to 8, most of them on the right. Hard to overcome that.
Sharks doing absolutely nothing special out there, just the basics well.

At least with our new logo looking like it was drawn by a child we matched it with how we are playing... I feel we would lose to a high school team with this performance so far...

Levi shouldn't play FG for us again. Absolute filth. Don't know how Hudson Young is still in the origin conversation.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Seriously, watching this team play these past few years makes me long for Bombaghan and Matt Elliott’s “let’s win 12 points to 10” mentality. At least those blokes had some ticker

Levi was not given a long leash there before the hook came out
Gives me hope that Stuart is starting to see the light on this.

I can’t get over the fact there were Raiders pundits parading around gloating and acting as if they were vindicated about their “Levi Island” bs on the basis of about 3 games where he wasn’t complete trash.

Our inexperience is out in full force today. It's just one of those games with a ton of rookies and 2 or 3 players not really up to NRL standard being exposed.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
The way I look at it is **** happens right. Joe Tapine made a shocking error in defence but we can appreciate that it's not common
Levy has been struggling defensively all year. He's defending in a tough position where he gives up size but he's been struggling. So I agree. For stick to be like nah this isn't it hopefully says something
Cause Stewart got murdered last week and stick rightly left him out there. He yanked Levy pretty much as quickly as he could after the drop

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Seriously, any one that watched the first half before he came off could see he didn't belong there. Totally dominated in defence and missing tackles. Couldn't even get back into the line.
**** in attack as well. Only seen two footballers drop it like that close to the line with no one in front of them - Lachlan Fitzgibbon and Levi

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Being realistic we were always going to struggle, our spine have played 20 games and Levi is a reserve grader. Simi Sasagi’s defensive efforts were awful and Hudson Young isn’t delivering us much this year.
We have bombed a couple of tries. Should be 2 tries to 3 so it's not as bad as the scoreboard shows.
We have a chance to show something in the second 40. We have to take our chances.

Another master class in coaching by Ricky. Fair dinkum, he's been here for 10 yrs and will probably get another 10.
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

We desperately need a quality dummy half, a RHS second rower and another NRL standard winger or we will continually be exposed.
Woolford and Cotric would be a good start.

Did these guys train at all together, and it's not raining but the ball seems like a cake of soap. Looking for a huge effort in 2nd half, all it's going to get real bad. The big raiders crowd deserves a come back.
Canberra Raiders supporter though thick and thin from the very beginning.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day
Let's be honest.
Sharks have won the ruck. It's stunned us.
But simple moments like Levi dropping the ball and a bunch of NSW Cup players like Sasagi and Weekes showing why they're depth players....plus a backline of young lads..
