This scenario is what *****es me off about the bunker. FFS they have the advantage of god knows how many camera angles and unlimited replays, yet they can't rule on bad ref decisions.

Chad lover
I am a proud card carrying chad liker... think he does plenty of good stuff sure bad as well but he ain’t on elite coin likeKeary and co. But it’s easier for some to go gloves off and all the usual suspects 2 follow suit on him all the time, even when we let in 40 plus points it’s his fault we didn’t score 41.

And the didn’t even need all the cameras, they were directly looking at Bateman and his involvement but fail to think. He purposely throws the leg

I really liked what Chad brailz and Tracey were doing prior to blakes injury, we really did have them off their game...

I liked his early intentions. The chip and chase nearly paid off, banana kicks are the go. Want to see more flair and variety in attack. The game has evolved so much this year we need to also. He was in my top 3 tonight.

Im always critical of halves because they do determine most of the play. They keep momentum with good kicking game and he was on song first half.

Imo Blayke’s injury changed the game, and Soro’s injury put us to bed. That re-shuffle to put Tracey in the middle was costly. In hindsight billy would have been a better option in this game than Williams.

valiant effort for first half. proud of the boys. really shut up the crowd early on, shame we couldn't keep it up

CT did well in first half but seem to fizzle out. seemed to coincide with brailey injury

Has anyone seen Sticky's press conference?
According to him it was the Raiders with all the bad luck because they only had 30% posession in the first half. No bad luck for the Sharks at all. He must have been watching a different game.

The $750 dollar question is at what point did our Chad shuffle off for his Chinese feed..

It was 6.45 and he was saying how quiet the raiders in front of him. I think he missed his 6.45 reservation for sure

Good effort boys. Canberra’s intercept was a turning point, but I reckon if Wighton didn’t play we more than likely would have won tonight.

I thought no 10 minutes for that trip was absolutely average, and he probably won't even get charged or maybe will and just fined or not enough points for a suspension.
Tripping used to be one of the big no nos
Not like that was an especially big turning point or anything but for me, thats 10 minutes.

However I am pretty disappointed that one of the biggest turning points was a 6 again/challenge **** up given that was brought in as a rule change mid season. Rules changes like that shouldn't be made mid season.
Of course it was our ********s who got wrecked by it in a final.

Wasn’t it ever. Completely different second half if we go in with that extra lead
