Re: Netballers up in arms over alleged comment of Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart

You've all stumbled on something.

Instead of going for tries in the Red zone, every time we are within range, have George take a shot at field goal. Our points would go up in 1s and 2s but I reckon that even accounting for misses, we'd end up in front of where we are now.

Re: Netballers up in arms over alleged comment of Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart

I can understand Ricky gets warned for swearing on a live broadcast.

But this was a comment apparently made in private, albeit to his mate the journalist.

If this is the worst thing a person says in private in any given week, they are an absolute saint.

Re: The Second Half Conundrum

Re: The solution

Good post. Obviously we keep pointing the finger at speed in outside backs, and no argument there. But a massive difference from last 2 years has been that STARCH. RESOLVE.

Re: Raiders dealt huge blow as neck injury puts CNK out for up to two months

I love seeing Rapa at number one! Pretty sure that's where he started for us. It's exciting all the time! He attacks the ball had, and you know you're always a 70-30 for a drop ball. Keeps me on the edge of the seat.

But serious opinion, gotta give Aekins a go.

He inexplicably lost his combo with Cotric and clearly didn't have a lot of opportunity with the ball this year - it seemed to impact on his confidence. This is a very good point, one I hadn't thought of. Some of Crokers best attacking work in 2019 involved cotric on his outside. At the very least,...
