Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 3083551, member: 2290"] Now I’ve settled down a little and thought about it, it was a huge blunder no doubt but... I think there was barely enough time to get in a kick and he was smothered so pass under that pressure was unlikely. I can’t prove it but I think Wighton knew it was the last and ran it anyway, then blew up after because he got tackled. Again, it’s a big **** up but in a vacuum it’s not huge. If that happens in the 10th minute no one mentions it again. Then the Raiders let the roosters score an 80m try.m, off a change over set. It wasn’t a quick tap penalty, or a wrongful intercept or something that makes it hard to defend in the moment. The roosters had to play the ball, after the time Wighton spent blowing up, on their own 10-15m line? You want to win a grand final you don’t let a team run the whole length of the field. Yeah it fucked the momentum but the raiders threw everything they had for 20 minutes and couldn’t get the job done. They looked so unlikely to actually score that even as someone cheering for the raiders I caught myself thinking “5 more minutes of this and they can attempt a field goal”. Raiders lost that game.
