Re: 2018 Rd 7 V Rabbitohs: Teams and Previews

I'm really interested to see how the Bunnies approach this game. Over the past few weeks, they've abandoned the rigid structures they employed in the early weeks and have looked to offload where possible. If they stick with the former, I can see our defence (provided it maintains the recent form) ho...

Re: 2018 Rd 6 V Eels: Game Day

Like most, I was extremely impressed with our performance on Saturday night.

Sia Soliola is throwing the first pitch at the Canberra Cavalry baseball game on Friday night against Adelaide.

He'll pitch at 6.45pm and there will be a few boys out at the game by the sounds of it :) always a good night!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2015

Ricky has publicly come out and said he wouldn't trade Jack Wighton for any other fullback in the game. He's not moving him out of the #1. That's why I find it hard to believe that Johnson is coming since the Eels/Roosters are chasing him hard and offering the fullback position. If we do happen to s...

Coaching focus this week is on defence. We have an obvious issue on our left side. It will be interesting to see who makes up our left side this week. Imo though, the major contributing factor last week was a 60/40 possession debacle. If a lower half of the competition side (us) comes up against a ...

What I like about Ricky is his defensive structures. Apart from the Panthers in 2003 and the Tigers in 2005, most, if not all, of the premiership sides have had top notch defence.
