Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day
I don't think I've ever noticed as much criticism of a referee as she is copping, and **** me Klein, Sutton/s, Cummins over the years and Gough have been deplorable on many occasions. She was alright. If she blows 30 penalties to 10 (for Titans) she's not getting another game anytimesoon. But her ga...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day
Raiders gunna get smashed by the refs moving forward, based on Annesley's presser. Ricky was right and the stats show it, but Annesley seems more focused on the assumption Canberra should have been pinged on a few occasions and were offside on the charge down, rather than the fact the Titans got aw...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day
Lots of unwarranted negativity about our play IMO. I thought Stewart was good. He was sniffing around the ruck early. The coach kept his role simple. I thought he was good under the high ball until late in the game and his kick returns were aggressive. He is also well positioned in defence. The per...

Shame that Tanah Boyd isn't playing. He has been very ordinary this season. Brimson is much more dangerous in the halves for them.

Re: A new Canberra Stadium
The stadium itself will yield an economic loss, irrespective of its location. My position on this is pretty clear. I haven't seen a single objective study that articulates the real economic advantages of building a stadium in the city centre over one in Bruce - only people's personal opinions. I've...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 6: Teams and Game Day
The referees have been expanding six agains in quite a few games. I think both you and Gerg have a point. Some refs are certainly blowing the 6 agains (especially a cluster of two or 3 within a couple of tackles), but I too have noticed some smart teams really pushing the boundaries in the tackle a...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
I'd take Schuster in a heartbeat. Needs to be some tight parameters in place and the right price but his upside is greater than any other second rower available and probably most in the competition. His ball playing and skill is off the charts. I'd be pretty confident that guys like Papalii and Tap...

Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day
I only watched the game last night. Nice to see some long range tries and the team go on with it. Plenty to like but Eels were dreadful. That's the worst I've seen them play for quite a few years. They didn't get off the bus. Makes me nervous for this weekend. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
