You don't have to say, we still have a chance of winning the premiership when you are struggling to even make the 8.
Well did we have a chance of winning the premiership? Yes. That's what we're all they're for, to win the premiership. For Elliott to say that we still had a chance of doing that, IMO is fine. At least thats what he's trying to do. Would you prefer he said "We'll just look forward to next year" when the seaosn isn't even over? At least he wanted to be there. The chance may have been slim, but we had a chance, and it wasnt just him who wanted to be in the GF.

that's why he made the wisecrack about us not having any players in Origin? that was a joke, i know, but the Raiders were the butt of it. and that's not on.
Dude, we all have to learn to laugh at ourselves occasionally. Everyone on this forum is aware that the Raiders get snubbed from Origin selection year after year, and Elliott is simply saying that he expects it to happen again. It's no secret... I would hardly say he deliberately tried to degrade the Raiders or any of the players.

Don Furner Snr and all the family was at the Canberra airport to greet David.
How nice. Did he have flowers as well? I hope he pays the same courtousy to Jason Smith and Matt Adamson.

I like Dave Furner, he was a good forward and a passionate player. I am not happy about the boys club that is in place at the Raiders though.
He was one of our best players........see what he can do first, his passion for the Raiders exists

I said above what I would prefer him to say and it wasn't this option.
