If Barr is re-elected there is very little doubt in my mind we will be here in April 2028 on page 272 of this tread having this exact same discussion. This whole thing became a farce many many years ago and the bloke is simply not engaging in this issue in good faith. You think Barr is not reading ...

BJ

Too right Micky. I can see the headline now in 2028.

“ACT Government announces exciting new feasibility study into future Canberra stadium and plans for the Tuggeranong ice rink continue to progress”.

BJ

Annesley making a huge deal about a player just one metre offside in Golden Point isn’t good for his inexperienced female referee and also for all the referees who’ve let go much worse decisions go across the history of Golden Point games. Why single out her decision in such detail, choosing the exa...

BJ

Shiv. I think a penalty can be blown because the Titans couldn’t take advantage of the 6 again.

BJ

Interesting that both Braith and Kent were complaining about the Dally M voting system on 360 last night.

They better watch out they don’t get a call from Rupert telling them not to complain about anything involved in the wider company.

BJ

too many factors going into a tackle and ruck to get an average to compare. Useless stat Yes that’s true for individual tackles or say a few sets of tackles, but when the same game statisticians are doing thousands of tackles every single round and every season, you can reasonably compare data aver...

BJ

It’s incredible how nearly every voter has Tapine as the best on ground, yet the likes of Billy and the Dally M judges can’t even give him a single point Billy has the odd left field call, but you can’t lump him with Dally M judges. That’s too unfair a comparison. At least Billy watches the games a...

BJ

Another point in Annesley’s own data that you would think he would have raised about last nights game (and something that I think most of us watching the game thought live). The Raiders v Titans game had: . The slowest average play the ball speed of all 8 games over the round. . The slowest ruck to ...

BJ

Watching the review. I’m surprised Annesley said Badger set the 10m line on the goal line. She was standing slightly in front of the line and the play the ball was almost a metre from the ten metre line. If the tryline is the defensive line, then the referee has to stand on the tryline. This is wher...

BJ

Annesley highlighting as good news that ‘close results in games’ are a positive, always concerns me. It’s also been referred to by referee officials previously as a benchmark of referee success. This is what leads to a change in the way referees make calls when one team is down by ten points or more...

BJ

Except that’s exactly what he was in that period I spoke about He was extremely controlled and measured and was deliberate in his messaging re: officials and other things outside our control And it wasn’t as a result of winning, it was evident he had made a conscious decision to change his approach...

BJ

I'm impressed with how Ricky handled the tactics against us last night. It was the right attitude - "we just have to overcome it, and focus on our processes" instead of complaining about the tactics. Good teams have to overcome any tactics thrown at them and still win. Des was always goin...

BJ

Tapine not getting a point sets a new bar for Dally M voting incompetence. And that’s saying something.

NRL and the broader non Daily Telegraph rugby league media need to really kick up a stink about what is meant to be our premier player of the year award.

BJ

We will need an attacking strategy when the opposition outside backs race up on us umbrella style. They pushed the envelope and left early a lot, but we need a counter measure. Maybe some grubbers through to Savage and unfortunately we don’t have a half or fullback with a strong short pass at the li...

BJ

Just back from the game and haven’t watched a replay yet. But based on what I could easily see at the ground it was very noticeable the drop in service from dummy half when Levi went off. Those sideways sets on their line were because we went sideways immediately out of dummy half and Fog kicking dr...

BJ

Taps 3. Busted his gut all game
Fog 2. We lose without his controlled kicking game
Sav 1. Really stood up when we needed some spark.

BJ

Another great watching game of rugby league.

BJ

Was interesting when Yvette Berry ACT Sports Minister was on ABC Radio with Ross Solly she said she was fighting for the new stadium to be built in her Belconnen electorate. Shouldn't she, as the Sports Minister, be fighting for it to be in the best location possible? I was pretty shocked when he d...

I agree apples oranges. But surely the NRL could have applied a temporary circuit breaker to give all parties some time and some clear air for the medicos to go through proper processes.

The Players Union certainly haven’t been publicly advocating for CHN.

BJ

The referees have been expanding six agains in quite a few games. I think both you and Gerg have a point. Some refs are certainly blowing the 6 agains (especially a cluster of two or 3 within a couple of tackles), but I too have noticed some smart teams really pushing the boundaries in the tackle a...

BJ

Milford has regressed as far as any footballer I can think of in the last decade.

BJ

Bellamy will need to get the traffic lights window washer guy to clean the spit off the coaches box window.

BJ

Kikau being a big meany to Meaney.

He’s destroyed him all game.

Yep. Top game

BJ

So if Fog decides he wants to play until 34, 35, 36… what happens in those years if we’ve told him he’s a “Raider for Life”? This isn’t bush footy. Emotions shouldn’t have any place in the decision-making process. Umm you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Raider for life as both a player and ...

BJ

Ha ha Storm once again moving well off the mark and then dropping the ball. Justice.

BJ

Trey has a medium term opportunity to take over from Papa. That’s a great long term place to be in for a young developing Prop with your career in front of you.

Imagine having Taps as your front row partner. What an awesome pairing they could become.

BJ

How do Storm for so many years get to step so far sideways off the mark and put their marker out of play.

Talk about something that should have been on the Refs tip sheet for over a decade.

BJ

Who’s the ref in the Storm Bulldogs game? He’s had the defensive line back 15 meters sometimes, then 11 meters the next.

BJ

Redemption story opportunity! We haven't had a good one since Todd Carney was changing car tyres. Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk Or since Josh Dugan was building houses for the poor (AKA Josh rocks up to a building site for five minutes and gets a photo pushing a wheelbarrow) Surprised he did...

BJ

Cotric I presume would be a low tier offer.

I personally think Cotric needs to reinvent himself as a second rower. He’s just too slow for a modern day winger and seems unable to get himself into space.

BJ

For the record. According to NRL it wasn’t a formal Raiders complaint about the incident but was immediately flagged by a grounds official and put in the match report.

I think Buzz tried to whip it up as just another Ricky Stuart whinge in his weekly buzz wrap.

BJ

Some rule changes such as the corner post they got absolutely right.

Some other interpretation changes maybe not so good.

That stupid cloud in the sky looks like Ben Cummins waving 6 again.

BJ

Key point Morgan Smithies made about him being out of the limelight and able to focus on his football. Canberra is a great place to develop your game early in your career without the external distractions and without an insatiable media blowing smoke up your **** one minute and then tearing you down...
