    News George Williams quits Raiders

    In the corporate world, there is a thing called “flight risk” that you have to consider when interviewing someone for a role. Canberra rolled the dice and lost. Cop it on the chin. It’s going to happen occasionally hiring expats. An English couple having their first kid, in Covid-times when...

    2021 R12 Sun - Newcastle 18-10 Manly @ McDonald Jones

    Yeah because on no planet was it potentially a penalty, fancy that. Disgraceful attempt at a milk.

    Match Discussion: Round 12 vs Manly @ McDonald Jones Stadium

    I reckon that one was a sin-bin before the edict though.

    Greg Ingliss out for 2 months with injury

    Why all the hate? The guy is a legend of the game

    News George Williams quits Raiders

    The Raiders’ “we’re so ahead of the curve that we built a great squad around effective recruitment of Poms” was a real feel-good story until the rot set in. Not so warm and fuzzy now. Cheers Johnny Behtman.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    It feels like Klemmer is on the way out. Andrew Johns’ tone about him in his article before the Cowboys game stank a bit, and he gets a bit of club mail. I agree with the sentiment. We are paying him the big bucks to lay the gauntlet down each week and we aren’t getting that from him. Even more...

    Match Discussion: Round 11 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium

    Good on Obi sticking up for Mann in the presser. The alternative is doing a Barrett-Flanagan publicly. I would lose a lot of respect for him taking cheap shots at a guy whose faults aren’t on effort. Mann may be struggling but wherever you put him he is one of the few I can say has never...

    Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Wests Tigers @ Suncorp Stadium

    I’m glad to have someone who’s said we are losers, soft, and that heads will roll until he fixes it. Bennett only said that when he was organising his flight out of here.

    Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Wests Tigers @ Suncorp Stadium

    I just watched it. I actually liked what he said. He didn’t talk tactics, but he talked accountability and sounded genuine about making big calls to change the culture that stinks at this club. I wonder which players he was referring to.

    Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Canberra @ McDonalds Park

    Hope you weren’t DJ’ing that clip.

    Diving in the NRL.

    I’m not saying they would be a deliberate grub because the suspension would be reduced. I’m saying that a grubby act in the 70th minute of a dead game could just mean the guy goes to the sheds 10 minutes early, then plays next week. Where is the punishment in that? Do we then get players...

    Diving in the NRL.

    I like this idea in theory, but I think it would bring in grey areas around context of the game. A tight game? Yeah sure. A dead game with one side up by 20 with 10 minutes to go? No, the dangerous tackle should not escape or reduce suspension because the grub goes and gets an early...

    Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Cronulla @ McDonald Jones Stadium

    Really agree with this post. We need a few more points of difference in this side and Watson is a key ingredient. I haven’t noticed poor defence from him? Yes he can get bumped but I haven’t seen actual missed tackles or weakness. He is far from a natural ball player but his energy and...

    Where to from here?

    If they keep fighting to win like they have been I will be happy. Effort levels have been high this year even when they’ve had excuses not to be.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

    Yeah it just makes me more accepting of the fact we aren’t a great side. But I think I knew that already.

    I don’t think his drop had anything to do with courage.

    Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

    Has Shibs ever been a winger before ? By all means say he’s not suited to the high ball, but I don’t think it’s fair to have a go at his efforts. The players tried. Hoy definitely tried and did some good things that we’ve been asking of him. Disappointing of course but I can live with this one...
