    Just about every hit on kickers is late these days. Refs are picking and choosing what they will ping when it suits their agenda of where they ran the game to go.

    Jeez that was an awful showing by Easts. Even allowing for injuries...

    Jwh is a goose. Holding Ponga down by the neck right in front of the posts and then hitting him clearly late. Stupid stuff.

    Easts were lucky to score at all. Tedesco’s try came off a blatant knock on by Aubusson and Watson bumbling at fullback was their other.

    JWH will cop 2 weeks for dangerous contact with the head.

    Fark me.

    Not square... yes, late... yes, dangerous contact... WTF

    Every side in the comp would turn to shit if you took away their two key ball players, dummy half, ball playing lock and then took away their backup half.

    There's a big difference between replacing injuries in the forwards and backs and replacing injuries to the whole brain of your team.

    It was an embarrassing performance and hurts like any other but it's definitely understandable allowing for injuries.

    Taking form guides out of the equation I love winning in Canberra. I respect the atmosphere they set at Bruce Stadium with the viking clap and that Green Machine song, which makes it all sweeter to win there against all that.

    Broncos are so much better with Them in.

    Taumalolo 251 metres, 8 tackle busts and 38 tackles. His work rate is ridiculous.

    Stoked with the Broncos' defence tonight.

    We were average but god the refs weren't great.
     
  12. Alec AD Funkotron

    Wow, Ben Hunt kicked the first field goal of his career! Strike rate 1/50, or whatever it is now?

    Why do you feel the need to make a response like this? It's like you think only you are allowed to criticise the Roosters because it's your team.

    There was something very different about the way Easts have played the last two weeks. Last week they looked tired and burnt out from being so "up" since round 1. This week was more of the same but to a lesser extent, and that lesser extent was subsidised by far worse execution and defence making for an all-round, yeah let's go with "embarrassing" performance.

    That they finally came back down to earth after being so dominant is certainly understandable. Missing schoolboy tackles and conceding 40 isn't really imo.

    I'm not sure why, please refer to my psychiatrist Robert Cribb.

    You like to think you're above parochialism, Magic, but you aren't. It's your team and they're for you to criticise. We all have it to varying degrees. It's fine. But don't pretend you don't know exactly what I'm talking about. All the more so because it was me saying it.

    Bulldogs paying $2.05 to beat Canberra on the weekend.

    The Raiders have 10 players unavailable including what is pretty obviously their best 7 players. I’ll be astounded if they win, even though it’s only against Canterbury.

    Has Cummins ever successfully sin-binned someone without some form of controversy?
     
  18. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    No but he did penalise Anasta for being punched in the face which I think we’d all agree was spot on.
     
  19. AVA T Delonge

    :laugh:

    That win says a lot about where Canberra's culture is atm.

    Always think wins through origin period without troops say a lot about a teams ability.
