Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

Well if he stayed then maybe we’d be last… him leaving did cause the rebuild penny drop… But it’s another data point to add to show the coach is far from always right. That offer to Jack was horrific. Just imagine how much of a black hole the coach would have sunk us into had he handed over $4.8M f...

Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

Enjoy being last and 300k poorer for it I think he ended up going for $700K, turning down our $1.2mill. So even poorer still! Ooft.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

I was big on Nic Cotric and had him pencilled in a wing spot for 2024 but he needs to go. He is too slow to be a winger. I am not marking him down for the dropped ball but his lack of pace, athleticism and involvement means he's no longer a walk up start to FG. We saw the decline in Josh Mansour. I...

Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders alternate jersey

I think after a while no matter what, keeping a consistent home and away jersey might not be viable for them. They should make the home jersey consistent and traditional, the away jersey should be retro inspired by old merch (say the training shirt we have this year), and make the alternate modern.

Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders alternate jersey

The reason the jersey looks so weird is because they've just plonked it on our normal shorts and socks. Navy Shorts in the same colour with similar coloured socks would improve it so much. But. Good on em'. Don't care what they do with the alternate.

Re: Should one of the next Immortals be a Raider?

I hope they don't make Lockyer an Immortal. He's the same level as Loz and Freddie, which is the top eschalot of the HOF but not quite there.

Only two past Joey; Smith for sure, and maybe Slater. I used to think Thurston was a lock, gone off it for some reason, maybe it's his commentating career.

Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders jerseys

A monochrome logo would stand out more on the jersey, and it'd make the whole kit even more of a stereotype of generic late 2010s sports branding and design.

I love the new logo, but only in comparison to the logo it's evolved from. It's easily the best version of the logo we instated in the year 2000. I don't think it's possible for us to design a better logo. No matter what it is, a new design will always be polarising and controversial. We just need t...

Truely abhorrent for Jack to bite young Tyson Gamble today. The NRL needs to make an example of Jack that we will not stand for biting, it’s needs to be stamped out of our game immediately. 6 weeks minimum.

He’ll find form next year and kill it.

The Rabbitohs had there best player out for 2 months. They had too much ground to make up once Latrell got back. Sam Burgess is right twat who was leaving anyway.
