[Farmduck]

 

from 1983, Ryan Hoffman's dad, Jay, packs in at hooker for the Raiders. and, from 1984, Craig Bellamy playing for the Green Machine at Seiffert Oval, Queanbeyan. I think the tackler is Mick Potter.

[Blotto]

So far Souths giving a masterclass on how not to defend  Ht  0-26 to the Raiders

HT: Canberra 26-0 and the Raiders are the top-scoring second half team.

 

Tries to Whitehead, Rapana, Lee, Leilua and Rapana again right on the siren.

Final: Sea Eagles 36 - 16 Knights. Will add try scorers later.

[Farmduck]

I dozed off around HT. At least the Knights did better in the second half after it was 26-0 at HT. They desperately need some beef up front.

[Irish Saint]

Highlight of the round , seeing that Sunday Ticket crowd in their double breasted suits. At least this week they were not all dressed like tailored dummies. Wish Premier would show more of the half time chat instead of endlessly repeating that exhibition game.

Morning all todays teams I hope work is quiet for a couple of hours

[Graham]

Game in progress. 3 minutes played. 0-0

[Graham]

Titans playing expansive game

[Graham]

Titans seem to have an attack of tashes and beards.

Barba feeds Holmes who scores a Sharkies try

[Graham]

4-0 after try in corner on the back of a penalty.

Maloney from touch line at CBus Stadium converts.

6-0 Cronulla

[Farmduck]

Backline movement by Sharks looked very crisp, all the ball carriers run to the line before passing, everyone at speed. Storm-like.

[Graham]

Big crowd. BIG crowd

[Graham]

Sharks prepared to offload early in the game. Confident.

[Graham]

Little Ennis .... High shot on big Luke Douglas.

[Graham]

Titan on the charge... Just held up over try line.

[Graham]

Awkward tackle that... On the border of dangerous but shakes ball loose and allowed.

Titans aggressive.

[Graham]

Commentary by Foxsports team.

[Graham]

Errors creeping in to Titans' game being both under pressure and them forcing it

[Farmduck]

Why are the refs letting all this messing around in the PTB go?
