Bad night for the roosters. Well beaten by the bunnies and looks like they have lost Kearey for the season.
Just 10 minutes in and Fonua-Blake has already run 62m. Adam Blair would need 3 games to get that.
So Raiders could be in some trouble here. Lost one player to injury and they have two others off with HIA.
Warriors not quite good enough in a few moments. Maumalao poor defence allows the raiders a big gain that leads to a restart and a Canberra try. We need to keep it close, raiders only have 1 player on the interchange bench
We cough up the pill after just getting a set restart right on the raiders line, then the raiders come down and score under the posts. Getting ugly

Time to switch the channel....
Well done the Warriors.
This RTS fulla can play a bit.
But just on the Rapana dive, I've seen more than one try get ruled out due to a weak dive, stick arms out and losing the ball. Both loigue and rugby
Rapana drives in hard he scores.

Should never been given the chance. We secure the restart kickoff and its game over. Bloody heart attack warriors
How bout them Warriors then?
Takes me back to the early 2000’s when the Warriors were famous for their miraculous comebacks.
Was saying to a mate when the Warriors were still 2 tries off hitting the lead, ‘at least these Warriors have some ticker and show some fight’ but didn’t think for a second they’d actually do enough to get the job done.
Wowee!!!!
RTS is a legend. Give that man a statue.
The key thing about RTS is not that he doesn’t make mistakes, it’s that his workrate is incredibly high (reminds me of the great Bradley Clyde) and he is looking to make an impact with everything he does.
High work rate, does the simple things right and then the brilliance of the footwork. Great to watch.
Wouldn’t make a bad 2nd 5....
Suck shit and look at the scoreboard Ricky, you wankstain

Ricky Stuart. Such a sour, bitter, angry little man when he loses.
I'm a Raiders fan from way back but have always thought Sticky was a piston wristed gibbon.

Makes the win even sweeter
Love this shot of the try saver.
That’d be a red card in rugby for tackling in the air.
Did you see the bunker ruling RTS tackled that guy in the air late in the game. Farken blatant BS I tell you. So glad we won so I don't need to hear Annesley bleating on about them getting the calls wrong. Again.

No didn’t see that... was watching in a pub on the way home from club footy.
We were all adamant that they’d find something wrong with Pompeys try and not award it though.
@canefan I loved the NRLs sudden emphasis on player safety, in a situation where the tackler was being as legal and gentle as possible.
On the subject of player safety, watch every single time a player puts up a 5th tackle bomb or kick. See what happens to the kicker
Great win. Amazing 2nd half and RTS - wow.
Nobody does drama like the Warriors!

It’s a bloody joke isn’t it. In 95% of tackles at least one of the 3 or 4 tacklers has a hand or arm on the ball carriers head or neck.
They banned taking out the kicker a few years back, but it’s slowly creeping back in with the them allowing the chasers no nonchalantly ‘bump’ into the kicker. It’s often so late they can’t claim to be pressuring the kicker, all they’ll achieve is cause an injury.

I love the look on Nathan Brown's face, like WTF just happened. We Warriors fans feel that look!!

The Raiders winger went up to catch the bomb, two Warriors players did a great job IMHO to stand and wait for him to come down, then they scragged him into touch. As clear a no call as you will see
the whole face of the league changed this weekend. The Roosters are cooked, losing Keary for the year, Lam for at least a month, while Cordner and Friend are no guarantees to come back at all. Suddenly the Bunnies to flag favourites?
Man the Cowboys are fuuuuucked. Not sure Payton is still happy with his choice. Flogged again, it appears Michael Morgan will retire immediately. Taumalolo still out. The whole squad looks ordinary. Gold Coast just hammered them in Townsville yesterday.
Oh, and only Mitchell Pearce could celebrate his 300th game by losing to the Tigers.
