I watched Karate Kid the other night. Daniel son !!! Wax on Wax off..paint defence..side to side. The best part of Karate Kid is the warning at the start of the fight that says “you can’t hit above the shoulders”. Only for the star of the show to win the day with a flying kick to the head. Sort of ...

Finch’s injury could save Marsh from being dropped this series

Sid

New team should’ve been called Greater Eastern Canberra, had a third of their home games played in Western Sydney and let NSW pay for it.. everyone wins!!

Sid

Basically the figures show TPAs give some clubs an advantage that’s worth an extra $600,000 to $800,000. The difference between the club with the lowest TPAs and the largest is almost $1 million. That’d buy an extra marquee player , a least a darn good one. How is that a level playing field. or $10...

Sid

^^^ better for Raiders to announce a new signing in the new year than this year so another team can continue to pay that player towards the 2019 salary cap

Sid

union? never rated him as a starting first grader.. even if he was bennett's mandatory brisbane player selected for the NRL All Stars

Sid

wonder what Roache will be doing now ^^

Sid

when does the annual salary cap begin and end?
Is it from the calendar year, from when a season ends or another time?

Sid

A western Sydney team? so they'll play several of their home games in canberra?

Sid

The main reason for this is that if there's an incorrect no ball called, it can't be referred to be overturned, whereas when there isn't a no ball called, it can be referred and overturned to be called not out.
Not good that it's being ignored so often

Sid

Sid

maybe train and trial until the Rapana injury money comes through

Sid

"I’m trying to help take this club somewhere special in October next year."

sounds like Papalii is in charge of Mad Monday plans.. he's not giving much away but my guess is Bali

Sid

^^ true edwahu, looking back all Raiders rookie of the year from 1987 onwards have all gone on to play 39 or more first grade games which surprised me (exception Bulgarelli with 27) 2018: Guler 2017: Cotric 2016: Priest 2015: L Bateman 2014: Boyd 2013: Vaughan (Milford debuted same year) 2012: Nicho...

Sid

Raiders aren't going to unearth a Cotric or Guler every year

Sid

will wait and see what actually happens

I don't know if I've ever been less enthusiastic for my team. I really want rugby league back in my life, but don't know how we improve on 2018 considering the 0 good signings.

I'd consider J Bateman a good signing

Sid

both There's a few reasons why I think these signings haven't happened yet - players who Raiders have enquired about have decided to sign elsewhere or stay where they are - still player movement happening so waiting for those to play out for a player to be squeezed out of another club - still waitin...

Sid

I guess that belongs in the 'Canberra Raiders express interest in Kiwi superstar Shaun Johnson' thread

Sid

still reckon there are 2 signings to come. A spine player and a depth outside back.

Sid

if norman goes to dragons does that mean widdop would be released to the Old Dart or Nuffy to the Raiders?

Sid

It's going back to the foundation we are laying. In the junior ranks the kids are being taught to play with strong hands hitting through the line. This is great for pounding the fences but also great for hitting catches. Even at the very early ages kids get to bat for their allotted time. Placing v...

Sid

I was going to suggest in the toughest pre-season ever thread that the Raiders should open up a public tryout session Invincible style.

Sid

Will still do the crash ball on the last option, but instead of Paulo or Boyd it’ll be L Bateman or Sutton

Sid

That’s not as bad a punishment as I thought it was. Seems it’s worth giving away a sin bin to save a 6 pointer

Sid

If the ACT government is going to put up another stinker of a deal regarding the new stadium etc I wouldn’t be upset if the club at least explored the option of re-locating elsewhere whether it’s Brisbane, Perth etc. to see if it would put them in considerably stronger stead. But that’s easy for me ...

Sid

I'd expect Renshaw and Burns to be seriously looked at after we get pasted in this test Both out cheaply vs Tassie today. will have to wait till 2nd innings to stake a claim. Anything better than Smarsh right now. Since his last hundred back in January against the poms he had 13 innings for 160 run...

Sid

he comes across as a **** human

Sid

I haven't been keeping up to date with state cricket.. how are guys like Renshaw, Boourns and others going?

Sid

Segeyaro can't tackle very well can he? Unless I'm taking too much out of the game where Raiders targeted him and picked his defence apart.

Sid

If Raiders took the funding deal from NSW and are taking a game out to regional NSW as part of the deal knowing full well that it'd still be worth it even copping the $150k fine in doing so, then it goes to show how **** the current deal ACT have put down in supporting their home team the Canberra R...

Sid

Harris, Marsh, Lyon and Head are the only Aussies so far not to be involved in a wicket yet

Edit: just Marsh and Head now after just 38 overs

Sid

Dream start by the Aussies,
Hazlewood, Starc and Cummins have all opened their accounts
Kohli gooooooonnnne

keen to see this catch by Koala

Sid

2 out... go Raiders!

Sid

hopefully the Australian pitches have something in them for the bowlers, I don't want to see a series of draws
