2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

[Rickmando]

Thank god Rocky doesn’t care about losing anymore.

He cares about losing as much as he cares about “tries from kicks” and “outside opinions” Nickman

[Billy Walker]

At least we can see that Billy’s laughing and enjoying the loss.

It’s good to see.

Azza is right - this guy has a weird kink.

[President Clinton]

I think we might just ride our side off this year unless we can have a good hard look at the squad and make so hard decisions after that performance.

I was just thinking the exactly the same thing

Mike's been the one ray of sunshine on a gloomy day

4- mike
3- Timoko

You can only give a maximum of six points.

I couldn’t give a **** about losing the game. I had zero expectations and our spine has about 20 games of experience.

But being inexperienced doesn’t explain or excuse paper thin defence and the same putrid non-existent attacking structure we have seen for 10 years.

Sharks have done pretty much nothing special and will rack up 50 on us here.

Nothing special?

They've owned the ruck and done the basics better.

They've outclassed a borderline NSW Cup side.

Take out Hynes, Kennedy and (ugh) Wilton do you think it's even?

That hazleton bloke just shrugged off Tapine and strolled over the line otherwise untouched. Is that the sort of footy that impresses you? Even Sharks fans would be sheepish about those sorts of soft tries.

Do you think we ought to not expect even a little better than that?

Tapine stuffed up. It was awful.

Do you apply that same mindset to Levi?

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min Levi throws a perfect intercept pass to Hynes in the red zone.

[PerthRaider86]

Yeah Billy....... Levi is awesome

[mikeraider]

I never seen a raiders side give up but always a first, throwing the ball around with no direction or purpose it's sad, and desperate. Without the experience player's we are rubbish

[Hong Kong Raider]

This is the performance of spoon contenders

[Green Machine]

Only 500 more games with Ricky to go.

Dammit I forgot only mike can award 7!

[The Nickman]

It’s games like that this that just show how painfully obvious it is that we practice absolutely zero structure in attack or set moves.

[-PJ-]

Levi you legend, great catch.

[Billy Walker]

Good inside cover on the kick from Levi. Saves a certain try

Mike's Rule mate, doesn't apply to mike. Rest of us are a ride off.

[dubby]

I don't know what happened to Young in NSW origin camp, but he's sucked ever since

[Mickey_Raider]

Levi is nauseatingly bad. Never want to see him in green again.

[Dr Greenthumb]

You’ve got to laugh. Weakes half beats Hynes near the try line. Hynes is left on the wrong side of the ruck yet is allowed to hold onto his jersey, basically climb over Weakes and get to marker without being penalised….

[Green Taipan]

I know we have a few players out, but this is an absolute disgrace. Surely, the tenure of Stuart must be under consideration. Just joking, this is the Raiders after all.

[The Nickman]

I just think we don’t structure and attack and need there’s nothing that we even through at them on the line it’s prophetic

Bloody refs cost us again today!

[Rickmando]

“We just have to work a bit harder on our crash balls this week”

[Dr Zaius]

Milestone game. Embarrassing performance. Standard procedure.

[Dylan’s Raiders]

Yep - don’t want to see Levi in firsts for a long time after today.

[Ultima]

Absolutely pathetic.... **** me... I can hear Stuarts excuses already.... Blah blah blah young players, blah blah blah so much experience missing.... Our most experienced players were the **** worse ones out there!

[The Nickman]

“We just have to work a bit harder on our crash balls this week”

Hahaha do you remember about five years ago when people used to blame Hodgson for too many crash balls?

[-PJ-]

Who remembers the +47 pd ?

[Canberra Milk]

It’s games like that this that just show how painfully obvious it is that we practice absolutely zero structure in attack or set moves.

But what's confusing is that Strange/Stewart/Savage looked great in attack in NSW Cup together. What's changed??

People saying it's a young spine and backline, but I would expect that like 2007-08 to be exciting but inconsistent. Not just straight flat

They might cop a bit of blame in the press conference!

[The Greenhouse]

73rd min TRY SHARKS to Jesse Ramien. No conversion Hynes. First miss.

Sharks 40-0

[Finchy]

“We just have to work a bit harder on our crash balls this week”

And bleeding green, don’t forget the key ingredient!

[Botman]

Levi is nauseatingly bad. Never want to see him in green again.

When it's all said and done and the careers are in the books, we're going to have to have a serious chat about Glenn Buttriss's strangehold on being the least talented footballer to ever play 100 games.

[PerthRaider86]

I know we have a few players out, but this is an absolute disgrace. Surely, the tenure of Stuart must be under consideration. Just joking, this is the Raiders after all.

5 year extension on his office desk after this game.

You have to realise that the Raiders have only ever sacked one coach.......

[Rickmando]

He was just a real “company man”!!!

[-TW-]

Saulo the only one in the 17 who hasn't missed a tackle

Pretty **** bad loss this. Looks like it's in our top 10 worst ever.

Two more points for the Sharks and it'll be our worst one under Ricky.
