Re: Canberra Raiders return for pre-season training

Pre-seasons are all the same:
"toughest I've ever had"
"rip in"
"can't wait"
"ball work"
"110%"

Watch for Taylor to say all of the above in his first interview.

Re: Top five wastes of talent

Andrew Walker was the biggest waste of talent I have ever seen play NRL. A dual International from the mid 90's who had everything a footballer could want or need as far as talent go but simply couldn't find enough motivation to stay at it.

Re: 2016 Finals Wk 1 V Sharks: Game Day

BJ was a passenger in the second half, very little involvement.
And I think having Bateman and Priest on at the same time really shows with our lack of go forward and line speed. We were flat footed a lot waiting for them to run at us and they were making big metres.

Re: How are you feeling after today's game?

Taking the two to get 8 in front was the wrong call, we are not the team to defend an 8 point lead with 36 mins to play. It showed no confidence in our attack, put our boys in the wrong mindset and gave the Sharks a lift. That said the Sharks dragged us down to their level and made us play their sty...

Re: Wighton facing a four game suspension

I posted previously on this forum that the MRC stood for EDIT and it was edited for being, I assume, too descriptive.

Maybe I'm just ahead of the curve, but it will interesting to see if this post remains unedited now given the EDIT and clowns at NRL headquarters have demonstrated me correct.
