Re: A new Canberra Stadium

I’ve always wanted a new Civic stadium, but at this point, I’d be happy for them to knock down Bruce and just build a new one on the current site.

Aside from E.W being on another planet thinking they can win the comp this year or next year, there will not be harmony in the dressing room while Jack keeps his spot in the side. By EW comments I dare say he is thrilled. What else would you like him to say, jimmy82? "I agree with Jack, we're ...

Re: 2020 Rd 8 V Dragons: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

The problem with dropping guys at the moment is that there’s nowhere for them to go and work on things.

How is Scott gonna get better if we drop him? It’s just an awkward situation. Bench will do for now. There’s no guarantee he sees the field.

Re: Ricky Stuart concerned about switch to single referee

Further, The six again decisions may stop tactical infringements (it won’t) but it is also going to give the refs even less chance to catch their breath, leading to even more inconsistency. I’m dumbfounded and quite furious about this.

I don’t mind the 20/40. I don’t see it as being introduced to negate good defensive sets, I see it as a tactical option. Scrum on the 20, down by 8 with 5 minutes left? Try a 20/40.

Re: Grand Final tickets

Hi gang,

I have four tickets in the Raiders supporters bay - I wanted 8 and couldn't get them originally, so bought 4. I then tried again and magically got 8, so I'm happy but now I have 4 too many.

If you want to be in the Raiders bay, take these first.

PM me, I obviously only want to cover costs.

Does the court take into account the NRL punishment when handing down it’s fine? If not, then the NRL fine is monstrous. If so, then maybe that’s a reason for the slap with a wet lettuce leaf.
