But if it were the case, and it wouldn’t surprise me given the widespread animosity that seems to be abounding in the game towards female referees, it makes the behaviour even more awful. And the NRL should certainly be ensuring that doesn’t happen to any referee… so both men and women have the opp...

rayden83

What happened? The game has a history of dissent towards referees, and no one has been really bothered, all part of the game. No referee ever cried on the field because of a put down. Suddenly a few female refs have a few atrocious games, everyone notices, and in this overly sensitive, hyper vigilan...

I don’t think the fundamentals of sound roster construction vary depending on what team you are. Absolutely they do. If you’re Brisbane, Melbourne or <insert Sydney team> you can go and buy the players you want to fill XYZ position. If you’re Canberra you have to do things differently because we ar...

rayden83

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...

Every season is important and every game is important. But our goal as a football club should be to win the Premiership. We have a natural disadvantage of being located in a landlocked, family oriented, public service dominant city, so we will always struggle to buy capable players to fill key posit...

We’ve been top 8 4 of the last 5 years..2xprelims and a GF in 19. Do you remember that ?

That is failure. This is what failure looks like. Finishing 10th, 8th and 8th is a crap outcome for a club with the pedigree and fan base of Canberra.

rayden83

Both Cook and Woolford are crap and won’t change anything. There’s a reason why Stuart tried to “upgrade” Woolford with a player that’s been rejected from 3 NRL clubs. Has nothing to do with “personal vendettas” and everything to do with being not very good. Levi has been OK this year, popped up wit...

Has Stewart hit puberty yet? Looks like a little boy out there

rayden83

We werent bad, but you get the feeling that our ceiling isnt very high. Based on thet performance we will finish around 7th or 8th, then sent home first week of finals

rayden83

Nothing has really changed since last year has it. The same plodders plodding upfield, nothing at the end other than a perfunctory kick. No imagination or creativity. That’s not Ricky’s style. Probably too netballish for him.

rayden83

And in the last 3 years: * the (only) brain of our side, Hodgson, was injured/retired. Unplanned loss of most important player * Hodgson's potential replacement, Trev, injured seriously twice * G Willy debacle. I've been critical of Stuart for how he handled that, but either way G Willy was leaving...

rayden83

Was very poor in his limited opportunities in first grade and showed off his very limited if totally non existent skills set. Absolutely no loss.

rayden83

Don't you love how Raiders try to trot out these squad fillers as major signings. "set to tour Raiders headquarters next week followed by dinner with the PM at parliament house and a ticker tape parade in Civic" There is absolutely nothing to get excited about with Weekes. He's down the pe...

rayden83

We saw on Sunday what a great coach Ricky is. We’ve also seen throughout the year what a terrible coach he is. Our attack and defense is amongst the worst in the comp, we failed to win a game by more than 8 points. In fact if you take away the bottom 3 teams, we won 7 and lost 11. We got hammered m...

rayden83

Negativity is good. Remember when Furner was coach and the sky was falling down? That's because the sky was falling down, because Furner was a terrible coach. Negativity was justified. Eventually he was replaced and one hopes were raised. Same with Stuart. People are negative because we don't accept...

rayden83

Can I address the “we’re stuck with him” narrative? Why is that the case? Have we just been subjected to mediocrity for so long now that we are just grateful somebody wants to coach us passionately? Is that how low the bar is? Yes For Raiders MGMT success means making the top 8 occasionally. Look a...

rayden83

In that two years we have potentially the best young spine available coming through. They say this about every half who comes through the Canberra system. Remember when S Williams, Schneider, Cornish, McIlwrick etc were all destined for super stardom? Ironically the only one who really made it was ...

rayden83

No We've gone backwards under Stuart last few years. Mostly this is due to losing players and failure to recruit well, but it's also due to Stuart's troglodyte tactics that so often get exposed by the good teams. He's certainly instilled a battler, backs to the wall mentality among the playing group...

rayden83

To be fair I dont think I've ever seen a team get so thoroughly discarded from finals discussions leading up to a game. There were only 4 games and there was literally not a word about only 1 team. It was pretty egregious. And proven correct in the end. Canberra thrive in these sorts of games, with...

rayden83

Raiders are losers. Who can be satisfied conceding four ridiculously soft tries and then being unable to kick a simple field goal like u9’s are trained to do? And then topping it off with a kick out on the full and a dumb penalty to end our season? This is vintage Raiders, entirely predictable, same...

rayden83

Lol knew we would butcher it. Raiders are all heart and no polish. So glad I didnt watch ET to watch us blow it like we always do.

rayden83

Oh wow we scored a try. Turning off TV now to end season on a high.

I know! We have a great record against teams when they lose their star half back mid game!

Advantage Raiders!!!

rayden83

One thing I was thinking about while driving today though was, these guys do video sessions. How can they not ****** see what we all see? The only video sessions Ricky does is making the team watch re-runs of Rocky before every game. Who needs technology and insight when you can channel the spirit ...

rayden83

I don’t care if we win or lose, I just want to see Savage in the squad but most of all the Fogarty/Frawley combination put to death, cremated and the ashes jettisoned into space and forgotten about for all eternity. Hopefully they do not fall into the path of some distant inhabited planet and poison...

rayden83

Guys, relax. I thought we lost the game today because we were crap, but according to RS we lost because we didn’t have luck on our side. We are lucky to have such a sharp mind leading our club who can distill these losses and get to the bottom of why they happen.

rayden83

Absolute garbage. Tosh. Utter crap. Without Papalii crash ball tries we now have a stringless bow.

RS needs to roll the dice and unleash Savage.
Also JW back to 5/8

Nothing to lose. Our spine of Rapana, Frawley, Fogarty and Woolford is the laughing stock of global sport.

rayden83

Probably a best chance of scoring points is field goals

I go to most Home Games, and when his name is read out on the big screen all I hear is a loud cheers and not a single boo, every single time. So I’m guessing apart from a few sad sacks on the GH, 90% of our supporters are deranged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Really? That's how you equate 90...

rayden83

Raiders is the right home for Fog. We are not a half back centric team so he gets away with a lot of deficiencies that other clubs won't tolerate, like lack of running and passing game. He suits Canberra and fits into our system cos we just need decent kicking, defence and game management, which he ...

rayden83

Frawley was very solid against the Bulldogs. His kicking was very good and his defence rates a mention too. Considering this is the first run on game he's had for a while, Frawley was a definite upgrade on Wighton at 6 and should remain there. Our win rate without Wighton? Well, the statistics spea...

rayden83

Rapana to 5/8th? Powerful runner, short and long passing game, grubbers into the in goal. Can kick long as well. Makes you wonder what could’ve been…
