I don't know about 4 but he fended off one when he broke through and carried 2 players over the line.

Loving Cotric. He's had 3 runs, made 12 metres only and is on 22.

Yeah something like that. I was just going on memory but was sure I saw at least 3.

Rapana 7 tackle breaks but only 20 meters gained...lol

What's happened to the Raiders over the last 4 weeks. They were flying up until then.

They are full of players who are inconsistent which leads to a lot of these performances.

Yates off the bench already ahead of Whitehead (and well ahead of Cook's score).

Sione PPM.

Didn't play Lamb but he's hurting me.

Noticed that teams have been kicking it out of play on the 5th tackle...Knights have done it a lot today.

decent game plan by knights kicking it out if they are outside 20m from goal line. Takes out the power runs of rapana, cotric and BJ which gets the raiders marching upfield

Geez, Canberra overdo it going to their right side attack this year. All the players on their left side catch a cold most games..................

I think the knights are taking a leaf from Manlys book when they beat them a few weeks back by kicking it over the sideline away from rapana and wrighton.

Joey Leilua on 3 points at half time, kudos to Lamb for stopping him from scoring a try 

Leilua and Smat centre pairing.
I am not sure whether to be happy or sad

These bloody Raiders screw their own players out of fantasy points so much. Can't finish a set so no chance for consistent attacking stats. Cotric's not getting enough chances to do kick returns either but that seems like more of the Knights doing with their kicking strategy.

yeah seems like their attack doesnt flow with the stop/start from scrums. That being said the knights need minimum of another 2 converted tries to have a chance at winning. kicking it dead is slowing the raiders but eventually the raiders will get a flow on

I'm so glad I've nearly rid myself of all knights players. Lamb was turned into Munster this week, and I'm happy to keep Smat for the time being (although TTrbo is going to give me a CTR headache).

Browny's treatment of the Knights fwds are far too inconsistent to get any decent read on the depth chart.

That and holding us down in the ruck as long as you can (even if you concede penalties) seems to work. Not sure what it is, frustration, immaturity, lack of creativity etc. but we wind up playing like park footballers and its an ugly site.

It also seems to be in the Knights gameplan to stay away from the right side of Canberra completely. Look how low Leilua, Rapana and Whiteheads tackle counts are!

Edit: Mind you, I think this is a great plan really, trying to take Leipana out of the game
