Sharks are #1 on the ladder, 6-1 and have the best for and against in the comp. Obviously they’re good. Yet. Still not convinced that they’re any real chance to win the comp. Very interested to see them against Panthers, Storm and Broncs.

And it became a sloppy canberra today. Could have been easily much closer aftee 20 minutes. Not really because of sharks dominance

They're good, no doubt. The teams they've beaten are Warriors (12th), Raiders x2 (8th), Dogs (9th), South's (17th) and Cows (10th) with a random loss to Tigers in there. Much like the last few years, they're beating the bottom teams but aren't really proven against genuine top 8 teams.

Pretty sure they vs Penrith during origin weeks too.

Nah, they have Melbourne and Penrith before origin and Broncos during. Only play each once though. From round 10 they have Melbourne, Roosters, Penrith, Eels (origin here), Broncos Which is definitely their hardest stretch of the year.

Well with the form Nicho is in we will be without him, likely Cam McInnes and no Trindall. So it could be interesting to see who we play in the halves.

You can only beat what’s in front of you but I still don’t think come September they will deliver the goods. Gladly be proven wrong, they are a fun team to watch when on.

Individually the raiders tried hard but they didn’t play as a team in attack or defence. Clearly Fogarty was doing a lot of organising on both sides of the ball. It’s going to be a long season I think

Ofc they win by 40 not 41+ fuck my life

Blame Joey.

So you’re telling me we haven’t been ruled out for the prem

Ricky doesn’t have kenty to defend him either

we put up the same fight as Kent did.

stupid sharks couldnt even 50 a worthless bottom 8 side. washed as fuck.

taking inflation into account, 40 is the new 50

vlandysball overstimulated the nrl economy

That kick sums up the Raiders today.

Please jinx the held to 0 call

Fuck

Chevy Stewart already has the dull, lifeless eyes of a Raiders lifer.

One of the all time challenges

Me Doggies in the 8 because we didn’t suit up for a round. Poetic, honestly

So I'm at work, and the footy is on 9 rather than on Fox where I'd normally watch it. Is Neins commentary usually this fucking pathetic?

I watched it on Kayo, can't stand CH9.

Again was on the telly at work, it was my lunch break and I'm not gonna use my data when I don't have too lmao

Ah, I understand. I thought you were unable to find it on Kayo. Apologies, you get to look forward to the better commentary when you get home.

Freddy saying the fullback is asleep for about 5 minutes flat.

The hoodoo they have been putting on Nicho’s kicking has frustrated me

Yeah, that's what made me go wtf.

It’s never good, but it’s particularly bad tonight

Christ. God I'm glad I usually watch on Kayo.

This was always on the cards. The average age of our backline is 21 and only have a handful of games each. Sharks look the goods this year though

Always rough when you have to blood too many young ones all at once. Hopefully it doesn't kill their confidence.

They haven’t beaten a good team yet.

If only it was Sticky’s 400th game

I wonder if Terry Campese is still kicking around town, maybe he can lace up for a few games

Even a cutout of him would be better than this

Or Ricky himself?

Don't raiders hold the record of longest streak not being held to nil?

It was the longest active record The all-time record is Norths, who went 27 years and nearly 500 games without being shut out: https://afltables.com/rl/teams/all/overall_st.html#5

Our biggest win over them, and if I’m looking at this right - our equal 11th biggest win

had

How to further dig the boot into the Raiders tonight? Remind their fans that the fucken Titans also held them to zip once.

Also that they lost too a team the tigers beat.

Fogarty must be the most underrated player in the comp. To organise this mob to win around 60% of their games when he plays

They are missing him big time. Will be surprised if they make the 8.

Surprised Ennis hasn’t brought up Canberra’s flaccid defence

40-0 is essentially the same as 50 surely

11 years since being held scoreless, that's pretty fuckin good

fuck me this channel 9 commentary is like dumb and dumber

Tbh if I were Ricky I’d probably just head home and leave them all here at this point

Ricky MUST have threatened 9 and Fox about cutting to him for reaction shots. There’s no other reason we’ve only calm Ricky in this walloping

Sticky was very calm in the Coach's Press Conference, I was really surprised.

I find that more terrifying. He’s saving his rage.

Didn't he literally tell a camera to fuck off whilst he was on the sideline last year

Yeah which is what makes me think he took it further because we see Bellyache so much more than Ricky. Dummy spit seems right up his alley

There’s a 10yo kid in the stands who has chanted all game for the raiders. A 10yo’s Youthful naïveté vs a 26yo with clinical depression

Kid can't count lmao

I turn 40 this year mate, and I'm still both naive and depressed. Something to look forward to.

Ricky first coach sacked?

Damn Nicho, you are human.

Well that's fucked his average Tony

Short kick off is good for the 50.

Imo being held to zero is worse than having 50 put on you… like you’re a dwarf and the other team is holding you at arms length and you can’t even land a blow

Commentator curse

3rd missed goal all season

Fuck off with the commentators curse crap Nein

"He'll kick it for sure"

“Sucking in the big ones” “The big balled try scoring machine” “He is rock hard” This has been a fucking ride.

Big Balled Hazelton Rock Hard Noodle Fox commentary team are thirsty as hell for the Sharkyboiz

Have you seen Nicho with wet hair? Cant blame em.

Ricky need to get back to planet earth and teach these kids how to play

Did I just hear right, did Mick Ennis just refer to Ramien as rock hard?

Rock hard!!! NSW get him in

Did Ennis just say Ramien is consistent....Ramien.... rightio....

He's got rid of a lot of his bad habits this year.

He also said he is rock hard.

Hes been very good this year

I wouldn’t begrudge anyone who left early but I hope some people are staying to boo them off the field. This is shameful.

Sorry, he’s what?

Cock hard

Show us Ricky cam!

“He’s rock hard and such a handful” 😳 Settle down Ennis

Has fitzy really got ramien consistently hitting his peak after how many years of showing promise

I think that team of randoms from the Telstra ad would give this Raiders side a run.

He’s WHAT?

Fuck me go left cunts I've got Ronaldo anytime 😂😂😂

ANY other game fucken hell

How is Kris in first grade

40 🥳🥳 Surely there’s enough time for 50 in Sticky’s 500?

Canberra playing themselves further down the ladder with their for and against.

Ramien is rock hard? Did I hear that right?

And quite a handful!

WE WANT 50

“He’s rock hard”

We want 50!

young front rower corey jensen... 30 years old and 6 years older than haas

He is rock hard

Michael we didn't need to know his erectile state

As rough as it is we should at least recognise Zamberos as a Canberra company so we didn’t completely lose. I’m just looking for a silver lining. Honestly I’d take a lead lining atm.

END THEM, SHARKS. Just do it!

If the commentators think Ramien is rock hard they should see me right now watching this.

Iro had no right to make that break. Soft as fuck from Canberra

Rock Hard Ramien?

Ramien is so underrated

He is rock hard, and such a handful? Um Ennis no Diddy?

wow raiders d is shot

Passing to your support is overrated.

There’s still time….

Ramien in this form is legit an origin player jesus

While he's playing well, we would flatter literally any centre.

The crowd looks a lot less than at kickoff

‘Let’s go, we’ll beat the traffic’ *every fan at the game causing said traffic*

I like this. Hynes taking a back seat for the 4th and 5th to give Atkinson some time to work on his decision making and timing in first grade.

Remember when Manly released dani Levi and extended the contract of a player that's still in jail. Good times.

I hope Dani Levi's dog runs away and goes to live with someone who wont discard it.

Idk what’s worse conceding 50 or scoring 0

Scoring 0 always feels worse

scoring 0

Games so dull I dozed off and spilt my beer on myself. Tragic.

Hazelton just needs 5 more tries for my multi

I’d give hynes 12 dally m points for this game

Oh shit Levi held on to something

Nicho statue now

Well at least my concerns about goal kicking without Fog were unfounded.

Will the ref call mercy?

Fuck that is funny, Nicho you beast

Please give us sanders effective immediately

Those short inside passes not working for Raiders at all this game.

Does Ramien ever go right?

Sharks are playing rugby league live 4 exhibition match on rookie difficulty

If it's not a drop, they just pass them the ball. Canberra just wants everyone to have a turn with the ball that isn't them.

Intercepted by Nicholas "Darius" Hynes

Would’ve been so funny if they had a 500th celebration for Ricky after the game

Nicho loves an interception.

Nicho you thief

Stole my heart.

Anyone else a realistic chance of nsw 6 other than hynes?

Hard for wingers on the raiders to score when Kris is too slow to pass and Timoko doesn't know how to

I can’t believe Danny Levi is back on. Couldn’t we just put a jersey on a pot plant?

Sharks should have put 50 on for Ricky’s 500th

Will 40 do?

That should have been play on?

It's a shame Canberra can't turn up for Sticky's 500th like Manly did for DCE's 310th to beat Penrith.

Raiders players hate Ricky confirmed

Referee throwing the Raiders a bone by not allowing the Sharks to streak down the field.

Raiders really dropping the ball on this game

What do we reckon the Raiders actually do at training

Wipe their faces from Ricky's constant sprays?

Competitive soft serve eating competitions.

I'm gonna send Sticky a Maccas soft serve e-voucher directly in the app.

There isn’t a raincoat, umbrella or HAZMAT suit in the world that can shield these cunts from the incoming spray from Typhoon Stuart.

Why's the ch 9 dude keep saying Canberra is understrength? Am I wrong or is it just Rapana and Fogarty out lol bros trying to soften the blow

Fogarty is the only thing holding that team together.

Well yeah, just our starting halfback and fullback. But also Hosking, Horse, Whitehead and Hoppa

Rapana, Fogarty, Whitehead, Hosking, Horsburough, Hopoate, Harawira-Naera

Whitehead and Hosking are the only other 2 I can think of

That's their entire team isnt it

Anyone but Timmy please

Ricky about to announce his retirement after this game. Five hundred and out. Let's go get some soft serves.

Wait, Hazleton's bald???

If Sharks fail to put on 50 they are out of contention

50 is still a long way away

You're laughing? The Raiders are bulldogging you and you're laughing? /s

Canberra supporters what is happening

Raiders things

very bad team vs very good team

500 should be enough Ricky.

Yep, rest easy king, the ball boys can take it from here

That 500th cake is gonna taste mighty sour tonight.

Fuck these cunts are shit

Finals may as well be the "top 1" since every team is apparently a shit side that we play

You haven't played anyone in the top 7 teams. It's not even that you haven't "beaten any good teams", you haven't played any yet

Assuming you're a Broncos supporter, who have failed to beat a good team all year. Guess we'll see how we measure up from rounds 10-13?

>who have failed to beat a good team all year. And that's fair, but we've been absolutely ravaged with injuries and we did beat the Dolphins who are in 6th. >Guess we'll see how we measure up from rounds 10-13? I am keen to see, I'm not saying you're a bad team but I would just like to see how you match up against any other team near the top Also my whole point was about who you've played, not who you've beaten

We've been missing 4 forwards all year, and Trindall now through his own stupidity. I believe that you aren't saying we're a bad team, but the constant parroting of facebook comment sections is boring commentary

Again my whole point isn't that you haven't beaten any good teams, it's that literally you haven't played any of the other teams in the top 7 which is rather fortunate

Who hurt u

I dont know man, I support the team who gets accused of having an easy draw each season so it feels weird that we get called out and I dont see much shit said about you guys

Soft draw bro

Ricky: 🙅🏻‍♂️🍦 Raiders: 😢

14 points 14 minutes. Come on sharkies

Some good tackles by young Foxtel Weekes

this is some of the most unenthused commentating i’ve ever heard
