And of course this only applies to Raiders players, no-one else in the league does this!

You said it, not me

You asked for examples and you got one :clap:

do i need to add a 'WARNING - SARCASM' tag to my posts, to help out some of you?

Nope, I knew it was sarcasm...

What you were really saying was that plenty of people in plenty of teams do it...I agree.

But you wanted an example of a canberra player milking a penalty

Come on then, give us an example. What exactly are you referring to?

You got one. #-o

Everyone knows that the Raiders are number one for staying down...you dont have to be a rocket scientist and you done need examples. Germ is the no1,but you can take yer pick,Elliot has had a word with em about it for sure,I remember him talking about it publicly last year.

Hand touches yer head,go down...penalty will follw after video looks at it.

PS...they arent the only team to do it,but they are the best without doubt IMHO.

LOL.

This is a favourite of opposition fans - 'Woolford is a whinging so-and-so'. He is the captain of the team, he is allowed to voice his opinion to the ref. Same applied for Toovey when he was captain at Manly.

Personally I think Woolford sh*ts the lot of you because he plays with his heart on his sleeve, which is a rarity in today's game. Nothing wrong with having a bit of emotion rather than having 34 robots face off against each other week in week out.

Well, good on Woolford

But don't you think its a little silly that you blokes whinge about Monty for doing what Woolford does, again Woolford, only a little better?

Of course not

I think if Lyons had refereed a better game for both teams there would have been less complaints from both captains...

Agreed

But the better team won on the day :D

Exactly the Raiders do it all the time. I remember when the Roosters played them last year and Fittler said it to harrigan during the game. The NRL should do something about it.

I won't comment on Woolford but I reckon Monty's one of the best captains in the game when it comes to dealing with the ref. Every time the team cops a borderline penalty and he has a chat to the ref about it he always keeps it professional and instead of just whinging makes sure that the ref explains the exact reason for the penalty to him, so that he can warn the players to be careful of those sort of infringements. He stands up to the refs without taking it to the point of constant whinging, which is a good thing.

Plus, and lets be honest, gives our big boys a couple of seconds to suck in the big ones

That being said, Lyons two minute conferences with the captains were outrageous :lol:

I remember when

say what you want, this all smacks of personal opinion to me, which you are entitled to. I would, however, hardly say we are kings of milking penalties. Its not as if we lead the penalty count each game.

The NRL should do something about it.

I would say the NRL has more pressing matters. The Coffs Harbour scandal, salary cap, the players' association, the 'grapple tackle'...

Here's to turning this into a football discussion thread! :shock:

I forgot that. Whatever the reasons Monty knows exactly how far to take things with the refs without pissing them off!

Without a shadow of a doubt, Tigpies fans have no life. They been at it all night and all morning...and it's the same ones! First it's my comment, then Raiders fans are whingers, then it's Woolford opening his mouth, then it's Schifcofske falling into a tackle to milk a penalty. ROFL Keep em coming Tigpies. Anything else about the Raiders you would like to bring to our attention, I'll pass on the message to my boys. HAHAHA You all have allowed this thread to reach 10 pages. This should be called the Tigpies social thread, where all Tigpies fans can meet together and bitch and moan about other teams. :lol:

As a supporter of my club, I can't hack tools who put shit on it over and over for no apparent reason. I'm sure you can agree with THAT point at least.

My final post, anything after this won't be read by me.

Raiders 2004, approximately 30 posts ago

Let me guess...sarcasm? :lol:

nope, he cant count.
wouldnt know his first from his final.. :lol:

this thread is a candidate for classic post.
it needs to be kept alive so newcomers to league know what to expect from raiders fanatics.

No, simply because Raider_69 and Raiders 2004 are twigs. I couldn't give a f**k about the grand final. Canberra didn't play dirty or anything. They simply beat us. What more can be said. Doesn't mean those 2 aren't annoying wankers.

I don't have a problem with your team or any other Raiders fans on here. I did not come in here to bitch and moan about the Raiders.

The reason I have posted in here is because you are a sniggering little farkwit with sh!t for brains.

That is all.
