Gotta laugh at the fact that the Raiders still managed to lose the second half considering it's been their downfall all season. Only managed to catch the last 20 mins, was McCrone as good as the commentators were making out?
Caught the highlights but didn't watch the game. McCrone sounded like a gun. I have no idea what happened to Newcastle. I tipped them as I thought they had improved but something went wrong. I think it was more the desperation of the Raiders.
They're shithouse ffs. There's no real reason they shouldn't get belted by 40 every week. They're actually overachieving.
The Knights forward pack just couldn't match it. Canberra didn't have a call go against them until the second half though, tbh.
I was thinking about my previews earlier this season and I overrated them too much. Everything else has been pretty accurate thus far except for the Bulldogs.
I'm shocked the Knights have gone so well. Really, really, really surprised. They've struck me as a team with nothing at all. Mullen is becoming more and more average, especially when at half. Rogers is just a flat out hack, the pack is soft as butter bar a few guys and the backline whilst flashy, just doesn't get the chance to put out. Amazed at how a team so vastly inferior to the Cowboys manages stay so far above them.
Even though I predicted the Dogs to finish like 4th or 5th, I wasn't overly surprised. Eastwood and El Masri leaving were severly underestimated. Not to mention last year that guys like Morris and Roberts severly overachieved.
What, not an NRL standard starting prop anyway. Tolar, Tuimavave and Faaoso are all decent/good bench props.
