Re: 2013 Bega trial V Storm is off

Could maybe send a fringe side to play Group 16 rep side or something... Its worth sending a side just for PR in the region I think that would be great - maybe send an under 20s sides with some of the lower tier players from FG to play against a group 16 rep side. I think it's really important for ...

Re: Desperate for a Grand Final appearance

I went to the grand final in 2008, I bought the tickets as soon as they went on sale, as I thought the Raiders may be a chance, as they were on that good run. Obviously that didn't come good, so I hoped for the under 20s to get through. That was a great experience, but looking back on that, you just...

Re: Where would you start Shaun Berrigan?

I think that's the best idea- Berrigan starts at centre, then once Buttriss tires he goes into hooker- JT into the centres. I also wouldn't mind the idea of transferring McCrone into this position once Williams is ready for firsts and Berrigan retires.

I think it's a good signing for them. Whether he makes it to the end of the contract is another question. Their backline is not really good enough (kind of like ours), to be true contenders though.

Re: 2011 Rd 14 V Broncos: Game Day and Post Match

At 24-0 down we were most likely looking at a scoreline like 42-6 or something, so to come so close was different, but not quite close enough. I was only reading on here and on twitter but doesn't sound like the Raiders deserved to be anywhere near that close.

Re: Through green eyes: Sydney or the bush?

Having a team based in the bush I think is the best idea, it strengthens that link between the junior bases, which are all fairly strong RL areas also, but apart from a trial match per year, don't really get much on in town. The team could be based in QBN, then play occasional games out of Goulburn,...

Re: An inconvenient truth

I think Orford is that far off NRL standard (after playing in the ESL), that if he's going to come back up to speed, it needs to first be through Q Cup, though that could only be for a few more weeks.

Re: NSW City V NSW Country

I always loved City v Country as a kid, I still like the idea, but don't like that it's the second game of the night, half the time you already know the score etc.

Still a great game, was hoping to make it to this one, have never been to one before, but can't get there.
