Stagtime Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 For anyone interested in Rugby League, a great finals win by the mighty Raiders in the last minutes of play. John Bateman with the winning try, one of our fab 4 English men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeponacid Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 80 minutes away from a grand final, get in...a thoroughly deserved win to....although they left it excruciatingly late. Weird start to the game though...I thought there might be fireworks on the pitch during play, but you’d of got cracking odds on one taking out Leilua before a ball had even been touched.... still rocket attack or not, he was soon back up & running....good job to, as that flicked pass for Bateman to go over at the death, was a thing of beauty. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days. With BJ it’s rocks or diamonds, only he would try a flick pass at that stage of a game. I actually thought when they first ran out it was weird sparks were falling inside the banner they ran through. My guess is you won’t see that ever again. Rapana never got charged and Tapine can play with a early plea so it looks like a full squad going into the prelim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Got it on tape for after the game on here just now. Saints are caning the Pies and the Wigan walk has started already. Would love to be in Sydney for the final. One year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll see how much accomodation is but most probably find a pub up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a awesome shift...the whole defensive effort shown by the men in green, was one what which wins big games. Some great one on one strips at key moments & a never say die attitude. Not really bothered who we face, but I think I’d prefer Melbourne again, although it’s a big ask to turn a team of their calibre over three times on the spin...East’s just look more menacing currently. Anyroad it’s going to be a cracking final, & with the spirit that the green machine are running on at the moment, it just could be our year: From my point, it could be a really golden year in league with Salford remarkably in with a real shout of making our final over here...Wigan are definitely beatable, as shown when we ran them close last week. St”s on the other hand just look a step up l. Salford reaching Old Trafford would give the whole game in & around Manc land a real lift. Its just a shame there’s no tests against the kangaroos this year, as I’m convinced we could turn them over....then again I’ve been thinking that all my life, only to see hope melt. The try by big Mal Meninga at Old Trafford in 1990 still haunts me. Come to think of it, Ricky Stuart owes me for that pass in 1990.

2tups Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 You and me too on the heartbreaks, close but no cigar too often. Josh Hodgson had a mighty game against the Bunnies in defence. Might get him the test shirt over James Roby and Daryl Clark. So, hope the British boys go well in the GF. As a Cas fan, I wish Salford all the best, especially next week. But Saints are superb to watch this year. Like us in 2017, but perhaps now with the staying power to do it on a wet October night at O T. Hope so.

2tups Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Great game tonight. What has happened to Wigan’s support though. Go Raiders, Sunday 9.30am. Easier than watching the last 5 at Oakwell, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagtime Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 30 minutes to kickoff, the nerves kicking in. It’s been 25 years since the last grand final and after the last few years I didn’t think it would happen again in my lifetime but here we are, rank outsiders but with nothing to lose.

Carnero Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 8-8 with 10 mins to play. Rooster just missed a penalty to take the lead. C'mon the Raiders seeing as you're the underdog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2tups Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hell of a game and big credit to the Raiders. The 6 to go controversy will get the headlines, but a couple of other major calls got less attention. So close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
