Wobbygong said:Elliott's done well considering the woeful retention and recruitment record and general lack of talent at the Raiders. He once said on NRL on Fox players don't want to come to Canberra, unless we pay overs or they are looking for a new start etc.
Elliott is a shrewd operator and the Panthers have done well to snare him so early on.

Where's your sense of humour ? Surely a bloke who has a 300K job but still has the time to camp on these forums and lecture others about football (or at least believe that is occurring) can look on the bright side of life?
Stop taking youself so seriously.

Tokyo_Raider said:That's the nice thing about being in charge, old boy - you don't have to justfiy what you do with your time. As for the job...I'm actually on the beach in Thailand as I type this. Keep working hard in your part time job as Crsipy Creme donuts or whatever it is you do, reach the dizzying heights of assistant shift manager and you may even find out for yourself one day.
First I am accussed of not talking enough football, then I'm accussed of being lectursome on football. Make up your mind.
Bottom line here is that there is a tight little clique on this page that will only accept the party line ("I think the coach stinks" "Carney must play" or whatever it is this week) and no diversion from that is acceptable.
And that's pathetic.

I still don't believe that it was good to hold Carney back for so long. The way I see it, he had to finally put him in 1st grade properly and Carney just used what we already knew he had then people starting giving Elliott credit for it saying he did well to hold him up so long. I reckon that if he had of put him up even 12 months earlier we would be seeing a much better Todd Carney right now. It simply just delayed what we knew.
Either way, I said it a few weeks ago and I stick by it. William Zillman is in the top 5 best players at the Raiders at the moment I believe. People may debate it and say that I am going overboard and hyping him up but generally these are people who don't see him play all the time. He is incredible, far better than the majority of the guys in first grade.
