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...

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

Because those guys are losers

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

Whitehead is not fit enough to play NRL, yet, there he is. The Raider's look like a rudderless ship yet again under the master coach. Mate, Manly just has better players across the park than us and are better drilled, you can hardly blame a coach of 11 years for that We should get off his back. He’...

Halftime message?

“Bleed green, stay in the grind”??

Rickmando

Another clueless attacking set in the 20 (audible groan)

Rickmando

Referee wants to make this one about him. Pathetic. I know, if only we could get a call or two - we’d be right in this!!! I think we would be. It's been horrible refereeing. Good to see you blame the refs as a diversion for the poor performance. Gee I wonder whose playbook you nicked that one from!...

Rickmando

The only way we’re scoring - when only a handful of manly players are defending the line!

What other choice do they have but run? They aren’t set up to create anything in attack otherwise

Morgan Smithies not losing his cool A tough couple of rounds have heaped pressure on the Green Machine. But English recruit Morgan vSmithies is not losing his cool. "I've been in this situation before where you have a good start to the season and then you can pick a few losses up and then it j...

RR steaming in off the back fence! Love it. Your conundrum is found in your opening line Red. The policy isn’t that we pick the best player in the position - we pick the best bloke in each position! We received tangible proof last season that the club doesn’t put value on results and performance (an...

Old Coach Galaxy Brain’s idea of moving Schneider on for Dargan and Weekes doesn’t look flash in hindsight does it? Or maybe Schneider is the same player as last year, just playing in a better system that makes him look good? Surely not! (And let’s not get started on how different CNK looks these da...

Rickmando

Rapana and Fogarty going down were probably the two we could least afford to lose from the whole squad That’s the sad thing though isn’t it? Losing a 35 year old winger playing out of position on the cusp of retirement, and a bog average halfback with a decent long kicking gaming, is all it took fo...

And I’ll add to that: until it happens Puru has to play lock to get into first receiver. Even though we’ve just had 40 put on us twice and Smithies is a better defender you can’t have him distributing with Strange and Weekes in the halves. mentioned that exact thing last night as being someone i th...

Rickmando

Hoppa, with his patented 'sit down' method of bomb taking will be a target. Turbo and Saab will not have to jump for the ball because Hoppa will already be on the ground. Some saying earlier in the week that Ricky would not make 4 changes to the side and then - he did. Hoppa, Cotric, EW and Guler a...

Rickmando

People thinking Hoppa is not that bad a choice for fullback, do they watch other teams, or just the Raiders?? Every team has a strike fullback. All of them. Hoppa is not even a strike winger With an already weak spine, this is devastating. I'll hope for some good metres and carries but I can't see ...

Btw what a dumb call to rest Chevy for this week, when there’s a bye coming up next week. Show me an 18 year old that doesn’t want to play as much footy as he possibly can while he’s young and keen. He made his FG debut a few weeks ago, is probably still riding on a high. Just pick him somewhere - ...

What a team! That’ll bring the crowds back!

Seriously, supporting this club is just like being repetitively kicked in the nuts. It hurts and it’s unpleasant, very little fun at all, until you get so numb down there you just no longer care what happens.

Rickmando

Easy. Shift Weekes to FB and Cook to 7. I’m not advocating to drop Chevy, I’d rather he gets experience in the top grade while he can. My other thought on FB is - Savage is the best one we have in the club right now. BUT I’ve always thought Weekes’s best position to be FB. If he ends up having a ru...

Rickmando

I will note that this is a very inexperienced backline. And we are really going to struggle without a quality 7 until Fogarty returns. Which makes me think Cook ahead of Weekes next week. I'm still very disappointed with our forwards, they've been dominated by the Sharks twice now. We all knew (in ...

To use NFL parlance - Rick has the makings of being a good GM. As it is, he’s a woeful Head Coach. In the NFL, the good GM’s have some knowledge of the football side of things - culture, recruitment, the relationship between the football club and the fan base etc. But the really good ones don’t enc...

Is anyone surprised? Fair dinkum look at the youth and injuries. Anyone who thinks Flegg/Cup players can slot in and we put on points against the ladder leaders and even win is delusional. This is what blooding youth en masse looks like, especially without the experience and leadership around them....

Here’s hoping the first change is Rick calling someone a Weak gutted dog in the presser and getting a week off himself

Hahaha do you remember about five years ago when people used to blame Hodgson for too many crash balls?

He was just a real “company man”!!!

Rickmando

You’ve got to laugh. Weakes half beats Hynes near the try line. Hynes is left on the wrong side of the ruck yet is allowed to hold onto his jersey, basically climb over Weakes and get to marker without being penalised…. Bloody refs cost us again today! They might cop a bit of blame in the press con...
