Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I wouldn't be opposed to Crichton, I thought we should have made a play earlier. But now I'm worried his price is too high. We've got to be careful as if these kids we have got hit thier straps we are going to need to pay top dollar to keep them all. With EW moving on, we need an experienced and hi...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

And I'd be thrilled if we signed Chrichton. He is quality. If he doesn't go to RU, I think he'd go to STG or Dogs, as they seem to have the cap space. Maybe Souths if they don't retain Walker.

Now that I've read the rest of the thread - I really don't think the standard of refereeing this year has been any better or any worse than previous years.

Re: Canberra Raiders back NRL call to eliminate disrespect towards match officials

Annersley does make it worse.

And I agree that only the captain should be able to speak to the ref, and players should be addressed by number not name.

The way nrl players have taken on the behaviour of soccer players carrying on with the ref is infuriating.

I've been a referee in Group 20 and the Sunshine Coast comp. It's a brutal and often thankless job. But I loved it. Any ref will tell you, just be consistent. If a player is up on your face, caution him. If he persists, march them 10. If it's over the top, bin him. It's really not hard. The NRL have...
