Re: Why Corey Parker is off Ricky Stuart’s Christmas card list

I remember a game in the early 2000's, we were playing Brisbane. Alan Tongue took Parker's legs out and Parker literally flipped upside down in mid air and landed on his head. How he didn't break his neck I have no idea. I've never been able to find the footage. Hopefully some passionate Raiders fa...

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

I reckon Fifita would be the best second rower in the comp again pretty quickly if he was playing off the back of a middle rotation of Papa, Tapine, Ata, Horse and Mooney. That seriously is the highest ceiling Raiders middle rotation I remember since the 90's. He would still be a great signing. Pre...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

There is also the continuing controversy as to whether the new stadium would make money (see report from the Guardian below) or lose money (see report from the ABC below). Is the view optimistic or pessimistic. Interesting that the optimists include 7 NRL games per year. Controversial new Tasmanian...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

I’m not uncomfortable with the situation with Hors. He is a very good footballer and was outstanding for us at the start of last season. I think he has a bit a maturing to do and I’m not entirely convinced he takes his conditioning as seriously as he should. I suspect he will fight his way into the ...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

Some of the analysis on our best wing options that is occurring here is quite outstanding but the credibility of it all is a little shaky when it is being put forward by folks who until recently were vehemently defending Crabtric position in the team.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita... for a second time

Next year we will have Whitehead (estimated $600,000), Cotric ($600,000), Rapana ($500,000) coming off contract and do t look like being resigned. Coupled with the potential medical retirement of CHN. I would have thought there’s enough to sign both Fifita and a decent hooker. Given we may potentia...
