That whole finals series in 2019… we played tough yes, but gee it was some of the most conservative, grindy, scared not to lose football of any time during Rick’s decade in charge thus far. People don’t want to hear it, but the way he sent us out to play in that GF was a bigger factor in the loss th...

Keep Rick to do all the ambassadorial stuff people are citing as his best qualities. You won’t even get an argument from me that he’s successful in that arena, let it be “Ricky’s Raiders” from a front office perspective. Let him woo sponsors, be a corporate figurehead, let him be the human epitome o...

Jack Gibson did a lot of innovating by the sounds. But did he ever ask his players to bleed (insert main jersey colour here)? Because that’s what our guy does!!! Lucky we’ve got him locked in until the end of time. He won’t be able to use any of this proprietary Bleed (opposition colour) against us!!!

The con job continues for the rest of the decade does it? Wonderful.

Good grief

No. Hope that helps.

Although please give us an update on the enthusiasm levels when it comes out:

2. Hopoate
9. Levi
14. Starling

The team with the best chance of winning this week imo: 1. Rapana 2. Savage 3. Kris 4. Timoko 5. Crotic 6. Strange 7. Cook 8. Mooney 9. Woolford 10. Tapine 11. Young 12. Whitehead 13. Smithies 14.

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...

Rickmando

I’m all for shooting for upside - if you’re making bets, bet on the athletic guys. (Argument cuts the other way against Hoppa, for example). The issue with Semi was that Rick persisted with him too long. It was obvious that Semi had zero football IQ, terrible hands and defensive lapses. And like so ...

Separate topic, but what's the deal with AFL? I mean, I've tried to watch it over the years, but the game just sucks. The fact that no-one plays it outside of Australia tells me it's a dumb game compared to cricket/soccer/basketball/etc, but the Victorians in particular are mad for it. They get abs...

Rickmando

Probably not. I’m generalising, but the vibe seems to be that all 3 are special talents that will have us challenging for a premiership in a few years, rather than feeling they might just be average first graders. You’d absolutely love them to be rep players, amongst the really elite. You bring the...

Rickmando

Haha I’m cynical like Colk. It’s probably not a healthy mindset or attitude to have, but I guess the difference is thinking all the juniors are overrated and then being pleasantly surprised when a couple prove you wrong feels better than thinking all the juniors are going to be rep quality elite pl...

Now that it seems likely Fifita will be on the move, I can’t help but feel we may have missed a trick not making him a can’t-refuse-big-money offer. Firstly second row for us is a premium position. We will never have great halves so its extra important that we have great second rowers if we’re to d...

Point out features of the ramp he may have missed the first time around?
Like excellent coaching?

Well, I’m sure Rick has already mentioned that one.

What about the mountain bike tracks?

Rickmando

Show him the ramp one more time.

Rickmando

Sanders, Chevy, Strange… who knows what kind of careers they will end up having, but for their first season or so in the top grade the only scouting paradigm you need is the following: - have they demonstrated talent in lower grades/junior rep levels? Yes. - are they demonstrating effort and charact...

Rickmando

For all the complaining about successful clubs like the Panthers and the Roosters. As organisations they are far more professional than us. There are a lot of things completely within this club’s control that we could improve upon if we wanted to take a leaf from their books. But as long as we are r...

Gus - he’s right you know.

Now that it seems likely Fifita will be on the move, I can’t help but feel we may have missed a trick not making him a can’t-refuse-big-money offer. Whilst he plays a non-premium position, he’s still a difference maker/match winner that we could afford the luxury of while we have a relatively cheap...

Can we play Cook. Even if we upgrade him. By all reports he was very good on the weekend . I know Weekes won't be dropped but for the dynamics, having an actual halfback would be better. Maybe slot Weekes onto the bench But we’ve been told before we can’t change a winning team*! (*except for the ti...

How soon?

Next week??

Rickmando

Can’t see us getting within 20 points of the Sea Eagles tonight. And even if we do - we all know it’ll be down to another one of these classic Rick rah-rah ambush response performances rather than anything sustainable. It shouldn’t take getting a 40-blot shellacking at home to elicit some effort an...

Rickmando

I’m confused now - do we want DCE and Turbo in our spine or not?

Because those guys are losers

Rickmando

Danny Levi wishes he could put a ball on the chest that well

Rickmando

Well crafted try there

It’s not Hoppa’s fault he’s too slow, have you seen how fast Tommy T is, mate?

Seibold’s just lucky DCE and Tommy Turbo lob past Brookvale on their weekends too
