I'm not a Raiders fan but frankly I'm outraged for the Raiders. What Michael Hagan doesn't know about rugby league could fit into an encyclopedia. ... Scratch that - it could fit into Bruce Stadium.
Quite simply, when you are in a slump you don't go and hire one of the least successful coaches in rugby league history to give you advice. Yes, he's a nice man, but a genius he is not.
He's likely to advise selling their best young halves and signing certain players on lucrative long term deals. Did we get value for money from Ben Smith or Brett Finch's deals? Cayless? Even they were better than Haurauki (I still shudder). He got rid of Maloney and Hodkinson .... because an NRL team doesn't need back up halves....
At any rate, if they cut Shaun Fensom he'd be an ideal repacement for Hindy.
And Hagan always rated Luke Burt!!!
I think we got value out of Ben Smith from mid-2009 on but not at the price we apparently paid.
LOL just dropped that image in the Raiders forum, should have known someone would have well and truly beaten me to it in here

He's the only guy we have whose heart rivals Hindy's IMO. For all his flaws, Ben Smith should be Hindy's long-term replacement IMO.
Raiders have deep seeded issues off the field...the lunatics really are running the asylum. It's a side full of young layabouts like Dugan and Thompson and Ferguson who have no accountability and no leash. The only remaining professional, IMO, has just retired, and it was a hugely telling thing to see him playing on with four injuries while Dugan declares himself unfit with a minor strain. I'm glad he's retired, the club is heading for a period that a guy like him doesn't deserve to be associated with.
How much are we paying him?
at least Canberra are trying to solve their obvious problems via a review....Parra seem to be quite happy with how our season has unfolded and seem to be placated by throwing up excuses and the promise of a better season next year because about 5 new recruits will arrive to play in key positions....i guess we know that such change always runs smoothly and the new players always mesh quickly by say Round 2.....
mind you, i guess, we did run a similar review last year....that worked a treat clearly
we can laugh at the Raiders all we like (ie. especially utilising Hagan) but we are the ones most likely to finish with the spoon and even if we don't its been a horrid season
