Graham Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Cotric catches it as Roosters roll the dice with a kick in the last few seconds of the game. Raiders do hang on for a famous and deserved victory that sees the Roosters knocked out. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 So no Roosters triple. They gave their all but were always just playing catch up with a Raiders side showing flair and confidence. Both teams gave their all and put on a magnificent show. Terrific game. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Wonderful game of Rugby and to think the Raiders still have to get two more wins to take the title. It's such a tough competition.

M j M Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Epic game. The high tackle into touch was a little bit of payback for last year's refereeing controversy. Add Cooper Cronk to that Roosters team and do they win...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a tough competition. Sport at its best. That was thoroughly good from start to finish. Raiders deserved their win. Both teams gave their all. In that sort of game we usually expect Roosters to nick the game but they didn’t so much run out of steam more they were facing a really determined Raiders side who impressed even more, probably because they did withstand the Roosters late charge.

Davo5 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Fantastic game,well played Canberra,their opening 25 minutes laid the platform for the win with Papali & Tapine destroying the Roosters down the middle. As a Roosters fan,well can't fault the effort & heart shown these past 2 weeks but our execution at times was poor and Flanagan just isn't up to this standard.

If you look at the two teams from last year to this the big difference is the number 7. The Raiders have upgraded their scrum half with George Williams and the Roosters went from Cronk to Flanagan. There are a lot of factors in a game of rugby but the fact that the Raiders are a better team than last year and the Roosters not told in the end.

Dunbar Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Speaking of Sonny Bill, I thought he had a very good game. Proved he can still hack it at this level.

Graham Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Preview: Parramatta Eels vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Well I thought Eels showed some much needed improvement last week against Storm. Now comes a stiff test for them though as they come up against a Souths team in top form. Rabbitohs blew Knights away last week. Eels conceded a lot of points against Melbourne and they’ve lost their first choice wingers to injury. Their back line is somewhat makeshift anyway. If this goes to form it will be one game too far for Parra and the expectation is that Souths will be the side to take on Penrith next weekend. Still as Raiders have shown today being underdogs can be a good thing! My Tip: Rabbitohs to win by 13+ points Yours?

DavidM Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Tremendous game , well deserved victory for The Raiders . Only their champion grit and individual talent kept the Roosters in that , but it would have been a snatch n grab had they won . Papali and Tapine were immense in the middle , George had a tremendous match - calm and controlling , and a word for Nic Cotric I thought he was marvellous . He’s a great pick up for the Bulldogs . The end of the road for the Roosters but hopefully the Raiders go on and reach the big dance . I think they may have lots of support next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 ******** Michael Jennings news ********* Parramatta Eels’ premiership hopes have been rocked with star centre Michael Jennings hit with a provisional suspension under the NRL’s anti-doping policy. The NRL handed down the suspension on Saturday morning, confirming Jennings had returned a positive A-sample for Ligandrol) and Ibutamoren, as well as their metabolites. Each of those substances is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping agency and the NRL’s anti-doping policy. Jennings was tested on September 21, with the results coming through on October 9 and is now banned from playing any WADA compliant sport while the provisional suspension is in place. The 32-year-old has the option to have a B-sample tested. Ligandrol is the same substance James Segeyaro and swimmer Shayna Jack tested positive for and carries a mandatory four-year ban if Jennings cannot show how it got into his system and that there was no fault or negligence on his behalf. A four-year ban would effectively end Jennings’ career on 298 games. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
