Has the guy, in over 20 years of coaching, shown excellence in what he does ? He's not a top tier / elite coach but middling / average coach. The concern is I don't recall him coaching and developing junior players, particularly in the spine, at his previous clubs and here. He's always gone out and ...

Remember, it's the **** players when we lose. It's Ricky's brilliant coaching and tactics when we win.

Braith on NRL360 with surprise: "2029??????" "But he's only won only one premiership in his career, that's a long deal, is it a bit odd to sign a long deal like that? Most coaches are defined by success." "I just thought the question had to be asked." Most intelligent t...

Is SportsBet / TAB providing any odds against Ricky winning a premiership in the next 5 years ?

May need to put some money on that instead of investing in the S&P500

Hong Kong Raider

So that’s another 5 years after this one?

Why don’t they give him 2 years contingent on making top 4 in those 2 years to trigger an extension ?

The pyramids were built between 15-20 years - Ricky will take longer than that for a Northbourne Ave parade

Has anyone heard whether we are in talks with Isaiah Papali'i of the Tigers? He's got another year left on his deal at Wests but they may have cap issues with upgrading Stefano (if he stays), Galvin and Luai joining. Fainu brothers on expensive deals and now one of them starts at 2nd row, pushing Ba...

Brisbane also got to play at home v Roosters a few weeks ago as their Vegas game was considered away. That's 12 home games for them (not counting games v Dolphins).

We have 11 home games plus the Suncorp game v Canterbury.

Hong Kong Raider

Don't know why Sanders is the scapegoat for the Brisbane performance. He was actually creating opportunities with his passing. There were some errors like the pass to Dylan Brown which went slightly behind Brown which he dropped and then was picked up by Brisbane for a try but Talagi also had errors...

Hong Kong Raider

Also Jason Croker's chase of Jason Williams for the intercept try. Although Croker didn't get him, he was fast and didn't lose a metre on Williams the speedster.

Hong Kong Raider

What a great story, GE. I also remember the lead up to the game. In the Final v Norths, I was concerned we wouldn't get through as we were behind and Lomax got sent off. Greg McCullum fortunately evened it up by sending Gary Larson off. Then the Green Machine clicked into gear. I ended up watching t...

Semi Valemei stinking it up deluxe for the Cowboys. Never forget just how hard our coaching staff tried to make him a thing, despite all evidence pointing to the reality that the guy is simply hopeless at rugby league His moment when he tried to kick the ball off a bomb was classic Semi :lol: The g...

Looks like poor old Harley Smith-Shields has done his pec again for the Titans. Bad luck to him. He’s out for the season. But I’ve watched a few of the Titans games and he has been missing and he hasn’t got much attack. There’s always an error in his game as well. I think he’s lucky to be in FG but...

Hong Kong Raider

Looking forward to the Roosters waiting to see which one of Stewart Strange Sanders kicks on, then buying them accordingly 😃 i had to laugh when i saw Gordon Tallis whinging about the salary cap, and how Fifita went to the Roosters for less, but why wasn't it being investigated. you'd almost think ...

Hong Kong Raider

BB, now you’ve done a complete volte face after asserting that we were in the top 3 for recruitment. This fallacy has been shown up; it’s now dawned on you (finally) that it is a poor reflection of Ricky’s coaching ability in asserting that we were in the top 3 for recruitment yet Ricky hasn’t been ...

Hong Kong Raider

BB's reply is as predictable as Ricky's coaching. I referred to recruitment in recent years, but knowing what weak arguments he has for the dreadful recruitment in this period, sought to go with the straw man argument to expand the time horizon, arguments about having a hard edge, teams not finding ...

Hong Kong Raider

Again, you are focusing on other clubs and casting stones when you should focus on what the Raiders have done in recruitment of established FG players in the last few years. If we were successful in recruiting the likes of Api, KF from the Cowboys, Dylan Brown, Fifita, hell - even Tedesco from the T...

Hong Kong Raider

I'm talking about FG talent, BluesBrother. It's well and good to sign players who are young players looking for an opportunity here. We have done well with this but they weren't ready for FG when they got here. Besides Fogarty (who was let go by GC and is a bottom 8 HB) and Smithies, we haven't sign...

Hong Kong Raider

I don't think you can win both ways on the GH Forum. I suggested Strange was a SOO candidate and got shot down. I suggested that 'we need to be challenging in 2027 and got shot down. Why can't I be excited about a player and our prospects, even if it's unlikely ? Even Whitehead said they are aiming...

There was no excuse for resigning both Levi and Hoppa. No excuse at all.

We talk a lot about the young players, but the biggest elephant in the room is the coaching

Back to this game Ethan has been ok. He has been good in defence. I’m super impressed with this Talagi kid. I would be going after him hard. He just looks like likely I've got a feeling Roosters will get him. Uncle Nick is just warming up Roosters like signing the finished product. They'll go for C...

Blaize Talagi, 19 years old, 5 FG games, looks the goods. Lovely step on Mam. Involved in everything. Sanders also trying things even though not coming off. He's got a nice harbour bridge pass. Love his confidence and playing what's in front of him, even both sides Bailey didn't play this good at Ca...

Out of all the young FB, I like the Melbourne Storm guy - doesn’t he have some zip ? But Melbourne wouldn’t want to let him go.

If Rapana retires at the end of the year, we will need FB backup even if Chevy plays firsts. Don’t mind if it’s Fuller. Loved the chip and chase try.

Hong Kong Raider

The Dolphins are going very well for a second year club. Sadly they are more closer than us to a premiership. Their young HB Katoa has come on leaps and bounds and is not afraid to run the ball or throw a long pass, and it’s the best that I’ve seen Nikorima play. Fuller is playing well at the back a...

Hong Kong Raider

How can the salary cap be an equalizer when you have TPAs that are not counted towards the cap? But that’s the system. The cap has been in place since the 90s and we need to work better at attracting legitimate FG to our club. I like signing the best youth but we also need experienced players from t...

I’d like to have Carbone’s job - do sfa yet still get paid Carbone's job is more pathways recruitment. Ricky decides who to chase for first grade. Apologies to Joel.

We struggled to put a compelling case to him to leave the GC even without Penrith and Roosters bidding for him last year. Objectively, Ricky isn’t a coach that players are attracted to playing for (SMH have an annual survey on this) and some players don’t want to live in Canberra. We’ve done well in...
