The Greenhouse

Why even have a coach then, is always my answer to that. Is he just there to fill up the water bottles? Come on Nickman, that’s not my argument. The coach bears some responsibility for both good performances and poor performances. But not all responsibility. Is Jordan Rapana a good player because o...

I'm not a "Ricky hater", but I also don't think his **** doesn't stink. I don't think what you've listed above is the only way to judge coaching. Plenty of players left the Raiders and played better footy elsewhere. I would say the below list of players played worse footy since joining th...

Lacks context.

Ps I vote for Woolford. Levi is....... not the answer

I also don't think attributing 'good' attack years (points scored) to Ricky's good coaching is entirely objective either. Looks how we scored most of those points - was it structured attack based on a targetted game plan to exploit opposition weaknesses, or lucky crash-ball plays coupled with sheer...

She's not.

You're actually making her point.

If he was sitting on the couch and had a medical episode, he would not be getting paid or be employed.

That sounds harsh, but it's reality.

We only get so much sick leave in the work force for conditions outside of our employment

Which players have gone backwards since joining the raiders? That's the way you judge coaches/the impact of anything. Take a snapshot before, baseline. Then measure the improvement, the affect. Let's be reasonable here. Ricky haters, tell us, who's gone backwards? I'm not a "Ricky hater",...

I don't think it's personal. FWIW I'd be playing Woolford over Levi. I really think it is personal. Woolford as shown in the last 2 years he offers more offensively and defensively than Levi does, yet Ricky picks Levi over him regardless. I think it's entirely personal. And as I've said previously,...

The only reason I can think of to justify Starling's selection is experience. Aside from Levi he has more experience than Woolford and Puru. With such an inexperienced backline, he's probably looking for more experience on the field. Really? You don't think it's because the coach just doesn't like ...

Let's just remember we anticipated this season was going to be one of transition

Interesting to see Ata back to the bench.

Maybe Simi offers another ball playing game to take pressure off Strange and Weekes?

I think Starling has more versatility to his game than Woolford. At least the coaches appear to think that way. Starling can fill in at middle, can sub in the halves in a pinch, and is quick from dummy half. Shame is, he's not particularly good at any of them. I think this role should go to Puru.

What was your overall impression of the Raiders performance, GE?

Pretty keen to see Hoppa come in for Schiller. Other than that, the team should stay the same. Trey performed really well I thought. Glad to hear Kaeo is coming into the halves. It's a shame our halves and edge forward depth is being tested do early. The areas where we have least coverage. Very unl...

Agreed

Now Like clarity what I said now the dust has settled on the game (No pun intended rail) about Stewart, his a smaller fullback than the most of the full backs in the NRL, but he does make up for it catching high bombs, other dropped tonight in the rain, I like to see him go though a change like wha...

I think Chevy is safe in NRL at the moment.

Levi showed again why he is a journeyman. For a player with his experience he just makes unnecessary mistakes. The injury to Fog is interesting. Let's see how that goes. His kicking game was pivotal. Do we trust Adam Cook? Do we play Weekes? Or something else? I imagine the mood in camp is quiet unc...

Dogs are improving week by week

Cmon boys n girls. We all expected nights like that. We talked about it all off season. We have kids in our spine. It will take time. But let’s not throw these boys under the bus..we are going to be ok. Chevy will be a star, our star. Chev, Savage, Kris, Timoko, Strange and Sanders are all still ve...

Pepsi scores an intercept

Decent game considering the weather

People hate the cold, too! Especially those Kingslanders. That they do Dubby, but that is psychological. Training in hot and humid conditions leads to a number of physiological adaptations that give an advantage over opponents that haven't trained in those conditions. I don't deny that! I lived in ...

And he's playing bloody good footy. Keep him going.

Good news. I'd be as shattered if he left for one final big pay day as when Wiki left. He deserves to be our highest capped player. Playing rep footy since 19 y/o, an absolute monster on the edge, then converting to arguably the most consistent prop in the game over the last 5ish years. One of our ...

I'm watching from home.

Kris is a NZ international and deservedly so. He's been shuffled around from centre to FB, then centre, then wing. His season was interrupted with a head knock and then had to sit out the next game v Warriors. He also had to adjust to a new 5/8 and wing partner, as well as playing centre again afte...

I think Newcastle and NZ from last year

That whole left side attack has been almost entirely rebuilt from last season's disaster of Cotric-Croker-Young-Wighton. Kris is largely doing his job well and I'm sure will shine after a few kinks are ironed out in their positioning. The defence already looks infinitely better than last season. Se...
