Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Berry was backtracking on her Raiders at fault claims when she appeared on ABC radio yesterday afternoon and she’d surreptitiously shifted her blame from the Raiders to an unnamed stadium staffer. Her interview with Ross Solly by the way, was 15 minutes of saying the delays in building the stadium w...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

I just noticed Shane Rattenbury advertises on the ACT Parliament member page that he was an inaugural member of the GWS Giants for Canberra.

He probably said he’ll support Andrew Barr to hold onto power if he builds him a tram and also gives $53 million to GWS.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews

Interested to know why people think Cotric should be selected this week over Schiller. Schiller is absolutely tearing it up at NSW cup level and couldn't have really done much more to put his hand up imo. He was unlucky to miss out in round 1 but didn't sook and had a proper crack in NSW cup which ...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Barr has been talking about a new stadium for well over a decade. So much talk about city infrastructure so little delivered. He’s building an $800 million dollar 1.7km extension of Light Rail to Commonwealth Park. That is not a wise investment decision. That money could build a very good stadium.

3 Fog. For controlling the game and structure
2 Hoskling. For such great play.
1 Strange. For some real points of difference.

Have to say Levi was pretty good again.

Kris and Timoko a real threat in the centres.

Wonder how much playing the week 1 bye team in week 2 will be a factor. Given it’s the first week I think it will benefit us especially since we have a long turn around.

Considering Fox predicted Savage at fullback, Strange in the centres and Weekes at 5/8th just before the round 1 teams were released, I wouldn’t put too much effort overthinking Ricky’s selection decisions or non decisions.
