The Canberra Raiders have done possibly the most Canberra Raiders thing ever this weekend.
With some truly awful losses during the season ruining their finals chances, the Green Machine have gone ahead and beat two top 4 teams on the bounce.
On top of that, they’ve also completely fucked the Roosters season, and just for the sheer fuck of it by the looks of things.
This comes as the Raiders pulled off an incredible win in Sydney against the Roosters yesterday afternoon, just a week after stunning the reigning premiers in the capital.
While the win was a serious knock on the Roosters quest for a home final, it’s also completely fucked the Roosters general title hopes, with Chooks having key players injured for the rest of the season.
Playmakers Sam Walker and Brandon Smith both suffered season ending ACL injuries, and Victor ‘The Inflictor’ Radley has fractured his shoulder.
The injury to Brandon Smith seemingly came after a hip drop tackle from Elliot Whitehead, one that caused coach Trent Robinson to have a crack at the Englishman.
Despite Trent coaching guys like Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Victor Radley, the Chooks mentor was appalled by the tackle on Smith.
Regardless of the intent, the injury is another headache for the Roosters, who are making it a habit of falling apart at this time of year.
It’s not known why the Raiders have decided to turn it on when all of the boys should be thinking about the Bintangs in Bali, but it’s rumoured it may have something to do with the Roosters stealing the Grand Final in 2019.
More to come.
*Yes we know the Raiders can technically make finals if the Knights draw with the Dolphins and the Raiders win by 60 points or some shit, but give it a rest.
