Re: 2023 Rd 14 v Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Maybe Stick, in not picking Xavier, is just sick of clenching his cheeks every time his fullback has the ball in his own half (and the inevitability of him being driven back 10 metres or over the sideline or losing the ball. Or all 3 in the one play )

Re: Coaching issues

The moronic dribble on here is very amusing after our coaches continually demonstrate the ability to adapt, change and win. We have made the finals 3 of the last 4 seasons, won 5 in a row and still some people aren't happy. Its widely agreed that we are a club that doesn't/struggles to attract star...

I don’t think he’s worth a big upgrade for his play alone. But he def instills that ultra competitive never say die attitude in the squad.

Re: Would you like to see the Canberra Raiders return to their original logo?

Old logo for me. It’s outdated but has an emotional resonance. I’ve always hated this new logo - and resist buy merch other than jerseys because of it.

Great post Matt. Unfortunately it really shows the limited options we’re faced with for new halves (partic vs the options that were around last year with the new EA).
