Canberra Raiders are still affected by their heartbreaking finals loss to the Broncos, impacting players, coaches, and fans.
It was the closest thing to a punch in the guts you could experience. Aside from an actual punch in the guts.
Almost six months later and Canberra Raiders players, coaches and fans alike will still have a sour taste (and a sore belly) left from that game.
You know the one. The heartbreaking qualifying final loss to the Brisbane Broncos.
It clearly wasn't something the Raiders players had recovered from six days later when they exited the NRL finals with a whimper against Cronulla.
