i think in the scheme Fafita's momentum draining penalties outweighed Gal's one momentum changing error and ability to milk penalties/influence decisions. one of his winges no doubt led to the penalty for taking out Graham as he was kicking.

fair enough lets just agree that both players made costly errors.

top post fancyman everyone just chill have some tinnies or toke whateva floats ya boat..

we made semis not so bad of a result have again recruited well.. next year we will go hard again..

carney prolly shouldnt have played he was rarely sighted and you could tell something was up a fully fit towsend would have been a better option..

thing that gets me is if we were ganna shuffle the team why bring in gordon and not gardner.. the risk is my opion was equal.. flanno rolled dice with wrong player but it was an extremely hard call to make and you could see it stinging him in the coaches box.. shoulda gone with gardz but im not the coach either are any of us flanno is.

I thought we played better after Carney was off the field, for the first time I thought maybe he is better chiming in as fullback

We STILL need to find and sign 2 quality backs for next year to be any kind of threat

Full credit to Canberra....using Papalli to rattle Gallen was a masterstroke - Gallen spent the whole game trying to get even and dished up his worst performance ever.

Hitting him from behind after passing the ball was so cheap, hope he gets levelled next game

Yeah it is, but you just put one good shot on and then say get that in to ya, then move on, its more than a one man team, and should have had our team in his mind more than that coconut

Blame everyone except for Flanno, he has done well with what we have.
I think he should have risked Gards but his match fitness was prob not worth the risk.

Gal i think cost us the game with a couple of errors when put us on the back foot.

agree agree totally but very unfortunate.Still dont think Gardner worth the risk,hindsight.

thought dugan and robinson were real quite today by their usual standards. i really wanted us to win atleast one finals game, amazing how you spend what feels like an eternity pottering around home all day waiting for game time then come 4pm bang sit down and it all seems to be over so quick and leaves you numb, i blame myself for our lose when robson went over before the whistle i was off doing laps of the house screaming my tits off slagging of fergo and the green snot bandits only to take up my position back on the couch few minutes later to relize the try had been disallowed.....

You're all retarded if you blame the loss on anyone else than our useless back 3.

hold them down & tattoo "never to play first grade again" on their foreheads.

anyone see the sharks fan who started a blew with a raiders bloke, and then got swamped by security up near the big screen??

I hope he's on this site, coz dead set this bloke was a ****en twat. All he had to do was walk away. Instead he decided to rip into the police, and then take about ten of them on in a wrestle. ****witts like this give our game a bad name. Was dissapointing the dipshyte was wearing our colors

Hey at least we made the finals this year and signed some players. Even if next year is a flop we can say "hey at least we made the finals last year!"
