Re: Terry Campese saga has become a soap opera for Raiders

The CT journalists sound very frustrated with those running the club. They sound like they've got to the place I did with the club a few years back.

The lack of transparency is painful and Furner sounds like he acts more like a mob boss than a professional CEO.

Re: Raiders reportedly cut captain Terry Campese

Every year lately our season seems to be ruined by at least one disaffected player. I'm not sure who is in the right, or if even both parties are in the wrong. There is not enough information for us on the outside to make that call. But I'd personally like to see both Campese and Don Furner Jnr else...

Re: Hodgson signs with Raiders

I would have liked to see some of his passing game in that video, that's what we really need him for, and scoots up the middle. Seeming him sneak over the try line time and time again doesn't say much given how utterly rubbish the ESL is (sorry if that offends anyone). I can't believe how many years...

Re: 2014 Rd 22 V Eels: Game Day and Post Match

First game I've watched live in a while, geez we are flaccid in attack.

I've always thought Stuart a decent defensive coach and a crap attacking coach so I'm optimistic the addition of Mick Crawley will help matters.

Re: Club legend or not, Raiders should axe captain Campese

Campo should have moved on a long time back. He's done and dusted. I hate that we signed a six year contract (and yes I said it at the time too). It's just too long in the NRL.

Re: Is it time for the NRL to intervene at the Canberra Raid

I admire the sentiment. I think the Club has hit the point some of us predicted it would a few years back if the club failed to listen - where a lot of the supporter base get beyond caring. A crowd of 5,000 is a worry in this context. There is a risk of missing out on a generation of supporters too,...
