The Raiders have to make a decision on who they want in the core group of players. They are the ones to keep and get the big bucks. The Storm have been successful in this but the Bronco's and possibly the Cowboys and Manly have not. One injury or series of injuries and the clubs struggle. A player o...

Gangers, I am attempting to discuss with you the need to rely on the Empirical evidence on the issue of Climate change. For someone like me, empirical evidence is all important. It is that evidence which should determine actions by business, Government and individuals. I have no doubts the empirical...

I think 8 is the right outcome for season 2019 for Charnze. I knew nothing of CNK before he came to the Raiders. My concern during the off season was that we were moving Jack from fullback and the player being groomed for the No.1 in season 2018 was Brad Abbey. Then we recruited a lower grade player...

Thanks GE. I did not know Westcott had departed. Where did he go? I thought he showed a lot of potential.

RedRaider

Happy to see Sam around. Not sure if he will get the second year. It will depend on how Westcott progresses.

RedRaider

I think he was injured for much of the year. He always had a go but restricted in impact and still one of the best in the NRL. 6.5/10

I have seen it reported that the third incident is about Sia taking out the legs of the kicker, Keary, while he was in the aiir

Tonga deserved to win. No respect for possession by Australia or aggressive driving defence. Munster seems to reserve his worst for big matches. Last night and last year's Grand Final being 2 examples. Mitchell had poor ball security. Jack looked lost at times in defence. I thought Nick went ok but ...

Rookie of the Year - HorsPOWER in a canter Best Win - Defeating Melbourne 22-18 after being down 18 blot and had 2 players in the sin bin. Best Whine - Trent Robinson "What does the 'one on one' steal add to the game?" Worst Loss - Round 15 loss to the Eels 22 -16. One of the only times in 2019 I di...

Nice article. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I wonder if when Siro answered, "Respect"- did he mean for occasion of the GF? For his opponents? For the game itself? It's really good of him and Brasher to come down, 30 years on, to a rival fan day to boot and share their time. Hope they were well looked afte...

Gangers, I have no doubt the Carbon Tax had an effect on emissions reduction. While I have no science education beyond high school level, my degree consisted of majors in the 'Dismal' Science of Economics and the related Economic History. I can read the figures and it is clear that emissions reduced...

RedRaider

Gangers, I realized I had not responded to your point about the impacts of the Carbon Tax for the two years it was in force in Australia. See below from www.Centreforpublicimpact.org/case-study/carbon-tax-Australia/ "The Australian government introduced a carbon pricing scheme or "carbon tax" throug...

Them, the Poms beat the Wallabies 40-16. Ouch. Cheika has said he would resign if we didn't win the World Cup. Cya Michael. Wallabies do not have the discipline to play low error Rugby. That comes from the coaching. Hopefully Sticky is learning that 'loose cannons' look good on highlights reels but ...

RedRaider

That try was hardly opportunistic. It was a well worked play created by a half who was playing what was infront of him. Agree to disagree, but the major aspects of game like line speed say otherwise, as does our fullback going off gassed. They played our disorganised line to a treat and it took a p...

RedRaider

ABC getting stuck into Sticky this morning for being with the England Aussie coach Eddie Jones.

Good luck to Sticky, if he can learn something which he can use to give him/us as edge next year - then all power to him. I hope he is doing some more player scouting while he is there.

Gangers, when you say "The idea that you can legislate yourself out of global problem solving is ridiculous!" I would say that the Paris agreement is all about legislating how Countries act. But that was Not the point about nuclear power in Australia. It is currently not possible to have nuclear pow...

Yep Q, this time last week we were inside ANZ stadium precinct having headed to our seats. A few beers on board and ready to go. The bars set up around the stadium had screens so that we could watch the early games and have some refreshment to ward off the Sydney humidity. Good Times. Then Annesley'...

DFJ said earlier this year that he wanted to assure Raiders fans that he was spending the entire salary cap. Since then we have signed Gwilliams. If we are to increase payment to JB and Jack then some familiar faces will have to go. I would move Young on but that won't release much cap space. Who e...

RedRaider

Roger, do they still call it a cap if clubs can exceed it?

The Chooks would be in favour of such a system. They could overspend by a couple of million and still make a $2m donation from petty cash.

NSW has beaten QLD by 5 wickets in the Shield match. Not much contribution by Smith. Daniel Hughes unbeaten 60 brings NSW home.

One more GF story. We had a Dragons fan in a Dragons jersey sitting in front of us. He saw my son in his green suit and horned hat and his 30 something mates with their faces painted and heard us talking with pride about the Raiders. He got up and walked out, we thought to get a beer. Nope, he bough...

I read in today's Sun Herald that Hohns wants to extend his stint as Head Selector. Nòoooooo - don't let that happen CA. I want to see Starc bowl again for Australia in Tests.

While on the season, I would like to thank the lesser lights and debutants for helping the Raiders reach the Grand Final. JJ Collins - 1 game and one win Seb Kris - 4 games and 3 tries - debut NRL season Tom Starling - 3 games and 3 wins Sam Williams - 10 games and Win percentage 60% Bailey Simonsso...

RedRaider

Excellent Grand Final summary GE. I agree with Coastal Raider and TongueFTW that JC was far better than a 6. The Grand Final was one of the best games he has ever played. For me the rating of Tapine is too high at 7. Turning his back on the opposition in our goal mouth gave their hooker a direction ...

RedRaider

Yep, just got mine, too. Not a fan of the cap being navy. It should be bright Raiders green, and then Canberra Stadium would be a sea of green! 100% agree with you on the colour of the cap skater. It should be Lime Green. The Grand Final looked sensational as vast sections of the Stadium were lime ...

There were no injuries. The trainer was on the field from the start and he was on field for both the Roosters' initial sets. I'm not "moving on", myself, given that there were two obvious injustices in the Grand Final, both of which led to the two tries for the Roosters. I don't think the referees ...

RedRaider

BTW... I have long been a critic of the NRL Grand Final entertainment. But Sunday was just great. A act where even old people like me know the songs. It was presented brilliantly. Great performances. I really enjoyed it at the ground. Strangely Nine didn’t show all of it. Sent from my iPad using Ta...

BJ's tackle on Cordner was fantastic, 1 on 1 dropped him like a stone but unfortunately you get no reward for a great low tackle and cordner jumps up quick play the ball and the rest is history. Boney, me being a lover of defence, I thought BJs tackle was a text book example of how to tackle. What ...

I have to say, the 2 most contentious moments of the grand final were both extremely rare 1 in a million (or whatever the odds may be) events that we are unlikely to see again in a very long time, if ever. What are the chances of both incidents happening in the same and both went against us. And th...

RedRaider

Back in the olden days they said you had to lose one to win one. We were pretty good tonight and hopefully with the addition of Williams he can strike up a good combo on that right side. On reflection I think the refs did a good job of letting the game flow and Imo the 2 contentious calls ended up ...

RedRaider

Thanks for a wonderful season Ricky and the Raiders. You know we'll all be back next year.

RedRaider

If we can get that 'drive them back' defence going in the second half, we got this. Chooks had a lot of possession and we need to make them pay when they have the ball. Very proud of the Raiders once the nerves settled.
GO RAIDERS.

He reminds me of young Croker from what I have seen. Timoko looks like a bit like a copy of BJ as well. Could be a natural fit in a couple of years. He's twice the size of Croker :shock: So if he moves and jumps like Toots Jr he'll be a good un. Plays more than one position too. It would be great t...
