Awful way to end an awful season. Thank you all for riding through all the highs and lows (mostly) of 2020 on the forum.

It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

79th min TRY RAIDERS to Harley Smith-Shields. It is started by an offload from Papalii and Wighton gets the try assist. No conversion. It's still a paddlin'.

Sydney Roosters 40
Canberra Raiders 16

FULL TIME

The Raiders' season is over.

MATCH REPORT: Raiders' season ended by injury-ravaged Roosters

The Sydney Roosters climbed into the top four and ended Canberra's season in the process with a 40-16 win in Mackay on Thursday night.

Trent Robinson's men will need both the Eels and Sea Eagles to lose if they are to remain in fourth spot but regardless of those results they take plenty of momentum into the finals after the seven-try romp.

Well I for one would like to thank the Roosters for mercifully putting us out of our misery.

It’s actually the worst feeling going into the off-season with a sour taste in your mouth about the team and with no reasonable prospects of substantial, needle moving improvement in 2022.

Bitterly disappointing season. No other way to put it.

Seems like only we can back up and fail the way we did this year.

Would not have predicted at the start of the year that our season would end in Mackay with Frawly holding the ball 24 points down in the regular season.

Cant hand wave this failure.
Stuart isnt going anywhere but if we're to get back to where we were, he needs to recognise his own failure, own it, and make significant changes as he did in the 2018 off season.

In all honesty, a true reflection on where we are this year.
Time to cut free some deadwood, have a break (fans need it, think of the fans), get a halfback from somewhere and in a month or so start thinking about how they are gonna re-float the sunken ship canberra.

Oh it'll still be the bounce of the ball, the tough calls and can't fault the effort...

Of course we don't fault the effort when the selection, bench strategy and game plan are all **** awful.

Saved our worst till last. Players like Savage very much needed for 2022. We just kept turning the footy over to the Chooks and they knew what to do with it. Poor defensive effort from too many players. Chooks 56% possession on the night and most of that was our poor handling. NRL stats say we made 15 errors in the match. It felt like more.

Yep.

I'm relieved that we ended the season on that note to be honest. A finals appearance would have been a complete misrepresentation of the way our season unfolded. That game highlighted so many of our obvious problems.

Stuart needs to go back to the drawing board and realise this side needs a huge injection of talent in key positions, and some old heads need to be shipped off into retirement.

Our defence also needs to drastically improve, yet again.

Adios 2021. You were a bitch.

With the season on the line, do or die and that’s the **** they serve up.

Kinda relieved we missed the 8. No point limping into the finals. Would just be prolonging the pain and frustration by another week.

I think cronk said it during one of our sets with the ball at their line tonight... we looked most dangerous with Papalii with the ball.

We need to improve our attack. Attack wins games in today's game... no defence.

Must solve for 7.. otherwise its going to be really bad (worse) next year.

Lol I like it. Together with Flanagan last week, "one of the worst attacking sets I've ever seen in rugby league"... it's pretty clear there is serious work to do

Season review should be interesting

- Gwilly plays like a plodder and leaves in a saga
- Croker regresses exponentially
- Papa gets rested with bizarre explanations
- Tapine's partner loses it at the coach on instagram
- Scott screws up again and gets sacked
- Hodgo regresses then ends up in awkward back and forths about the club in press conferences
- Bateman chimes in and has a dig from the other side of the world
- Get questioned weekly by commentary teams on bench use and game plans
- Don't sign a single new recruit for the next season

Most coaches write books on building successful clubs, this could be a novel on how to decimate one.
If you can accept losing, you cannot win.

Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is

Not true! The secret to onfield success is to do the exact opposite of everything we did. Now that's a guaranteed bestseller!

We haven't turned it up too many times over recent years, disappointing to do so tonight with so much at stake.

Not taking the gift two points on offer early in the second half to bring the gap to 6 a turning point.

Well yes. But as I drank more it became harder to tell whether it was poor individual defence or a poor pattern - or is that it our 3/4 line don't know who's inside or outside them in any given half? Ahh I don't know.

Obviously individual errors are a bit of a bugger. I mean, who is going to take responsibility for Hudson Young throwing a dummy half pass at the toes of the recipient? Blame the player, sure, but why is he ever doing that? Do we have training drills that DON'T fall apart under pressure? Again, I don't know.

I wonder if picking 3 props to run on, and another 3 on the bench, might have anything at all to do with it. It's ok Red I'm not blaming you specifically!

A novel is fiction. This one would firmly be in non-fiction.
