Lack of Effort

Is it just me or does it appear some players out there just aren't pulling their weight? In our wins this year you can see all the players working well together, each playing to their strengths, effort across the park... Then you have our last 120 minutes of footy... You can see that some players are still trying, Carney, Tongue, Withers, Goodwin, Chalk... Others just run up the ball meekly... Get up slowly, play the ball, get to the back of the pack... It's 100 times more obvious when we are away from home and you should never have to see a player screaming at his team to get onside for a penalty...

I think this REALLY needs to be addressed... Light a fire under the arses of our forwards and get them playing like they want to win... Not like they want the game to be over so they can collect their pay check and buy a block of beer... I've seen more commitment from the players at the local Leagues club FFS and they aren't getting paid to be there!

Agree Cryptic ...

... there was a stage in the first half against the Storm where I've never seen the Raiders play the ball as quickly on successive tackles ... we would have to be one of the slowest ball playing teams in the NRL.

We've been doing this since the Elliott days you would have thought we would have learnt by now.

I'm sure this will all be a thing of the past once Furner takes over *sniggers*

yea that's a pretty good analogy Mick ... I ask you all to watch him in the next game as he gets up from a tackle, slow as and looks like he's searching for the number plate that just hit him

I still feel that the Raiders prefer a more enterprising style of play, hence the weather affected them more.

If by that you mean mothers should be jailed for taking drugs during pregnancy I couldn't agree more.
