Re: That decision

Gday raiders fans. It’s been a long, long time since I posted on a forum. I lost my love for the NRL years ago - I still love the sport, I just hate the way that the NRL runs the game. I used to watch every single game, every round. Now I try to catch as many raiders games as possible - but barely c...

Fair enough responses, I saw the score an for some reason thought of this place and was curious whether it was still as popular. It appears it is, good luck to you guys, just don't take it too seriously as you might be able to actually enjoy the game rather than letting it dictate too much of your l...

I haven't come to this forum in so long because it got embarrassing being associated with it to be honest. If I were a raiders player I would hate this place and its members too.

Re: Another Dugan rumor

What anti-tampering laws? They are gone.

But given the way our team simply gave up when Dugan got injured yesterday (despite having a massive lead at the time), is it safe to say that same group of players will refuse to try (again) if he's not in the squad.

I honestly cannot fathom how anyone could say ‘well done’ or ‘gutsy’ after that game. Are you assuming because we had 15 players that they all had to do extra work? Well, they didn’t. Because of all the tries there were countless breaks for them to recover. Shaun Fensom made 58 tackles, a big effort...

Re: 2011 Canberra TV news reports

It's hard not to agree. Having 3 players coming back from relatively serious injuries could be a huge risk. All it takes is for one of them to come undone and we are in big trouble against a team with someone as dangerous as JT.

Plus the boys who beat Melbourne and the Dogs deserve their spot.

I've never understood the concept of paying out a contract. Maybe someone else can explain that one to me.

Why on earth would anyone have an issue with us taking the penalty goal against the Dogs?

I don't question his effort or commitment, but I don't think Galea brings that much to our team to be honest. His strength is his defence, but in all honesty that is the role that we should have Tongue and Fensom in. And if we do have Tongue and Fenson as our defensive backrowers, we need our third ...

We've seen him utilise different gameplans, last year we were never a 5 hitups and kick team.

To be fair guys, Furner never has a team run out 1-17. This could be smoke and mirrors from him again so that Manly don’t know who the new players will be.
