Simon Woolford has done a marvelous job over the past week.
Here is a part of Germ's Jibber
On the Field is the Focus
14/07/04: In a difficult week for the Club, its nice to be able to sit down and reflect on the way things are going for us on the field, rather than off it.
Having lost three of our mates in Joel Monaghan, Luke Davico and Ruben Wiki to other Clubs for the 2005 season, you could probably be excused for shifting your focus away from the field.
This however, we are determined not to let happen. Our current season is alive and well, and these players will certainly be giving no less than 100% in their final games for the Raiders.
There are no hard feelings towards any of the players. Every player is entitled to make the best decision for their future and for the benefit of their family, and despite the fact that we will be sad to see them go, life will go on for the Raiders next season.
We have a number of outstanding young players rising through the grades, and some we have already seen doing an outstanding job in their first season in the top grade.
One such youngster is Nathan Smith, who is probably the only player who left Canberra Stadium with a lasting memory of Saturday nights clash with the Cowboys, after scoring a pair of tries in his first grade debut.
Smitty received a real shock when he got his call-up last week, and repaid the coach with a great display on Saturday night.
Nathan is just one of a host of really bright talent that we have at the Club. Raiders fans have got plenty to look forward to in the coming years when you consider the likes of Alan Rothery, Todd Carney, Terry Campese and Kris Kahler, whom have all had a taste of first grade this season.
