We had a clear possession advantage with 54% of the football so we should have been able to make more of that. With Hodgo missing we are now without 5 of last years Grand Final pack for the short turnaround grand final replay. Having watched the highlights I am concerned that there is something tak...

Interesting to hear Brad Fittler today give Tom Starling a rap about being the fastest player out of dummy half he has seen. This is from the State of Origin coach of Damien Cook. Without Hodgo our attacking patterns will have to change due to the different skill levels. Over to you Sticky. Huge tes...

Well you know what they say we can’t blame the refs for the loss. If CNK knocks the ball dead and Whitehead grounds the ball Raiders win this I guess.. 100% agree with this Sid. These were things within our control and we did not execute them well. Given there were only 6 points in the match our fa...

Congratulations on your debut tonight Kai. Sticky likes chunky nuggets with speed. I reckon when he comes on we'll see EW go to lock. Good luck young fella every Raider fan is looking forward to watching you play.

Sad news for Guler. A gun in the making.

Given Bateman was hurt playing for England does anyone know how our cap application to the NRL is going?

ABC radio reported that NSW police to enforce the border shut down so that Victorian Police can be used to enforce cluster lock downs.

Great post S82. I think the ongoing drama is not positive for the club. It may be best to release back to England to be with his family as soon as flights are available. I don't reckon his heart is in wearing green again.

RedRaider

I don't think we'll see HSS over the next 2 weeks but I hope he is given an opportunity soon.

It could be worse though. We could still have BJ who is about to have an enforced break due to another dumb act.

You are completely missing the point. You cannot complain about another country using coal when we friggen are the biggest exporter of coal to that country. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk I got your point and said so. The Chinese can buy the coal from other coal producers and given what has h...

I am an economist... There may be challenges in valuing production and incomes in non market based economies, but China has pursued considerable market based reforms. And the problems of valuation are not so significant so as to invalidate the country comparisons. If they were, the IMF, OECD etc wo...

We are totally the lucky country and I'm very grateful to have won the lottery of life in being born here. Sent from my SM-G570F using Tapatalk Well that is something we can agree on. But I disagree that China is still a developing country. If you look at World Steel production in 2018 China produc...

GE, The Chinese Communist Party uses a mechanism of price controls via their command economy and therefore comparisons with open market economies should be treated with caution. See below an economic explanation: 'The reason most economists are skeptical about price controls is that they distort the...

To be fair, how many international arrivals have the ACT, TAS, etc. had to place in hotel quarantine? I expect it's mostly VIC and NSW dealing with all that, and NSW obviously has done it better than VIC, though it's probably a bit of an oversimplification to go 'we're all awesome except for those ...

We got the 2 competition points which was the object of the match. Going in we were without Bateman and HorsPower. We lost Sia and Guler during the match. That is four of last years Grand Final pack missing for the back half of that game. Add the fact that Lui had lost form and that is 5 of last yea...

D'ya reckon Stickys good mate Bellamy set him up with this signing?

He might have given Scott a glowing report and Sticky said 'Thanks mate'. It's a good "gotcha" between friends.

RedRaider

If we could snag a 21 year old Origin and Kangaroos rep, who is top 3 in tackle breaks for his position (in a year where he's a tad short of his best no less), played 80 NRL games and never had a major injury and who'd played GF's, semi finals etc wouldn't we jump at it? For how much over 3 years? ...

Thanks for last year's memories John.
Be with your family, it's what really matters.

I'm sorry, but putting Curtis Scott on the bench is a TERRIBLE decision! He's either good enough to start at centre of he's not in the top squad. Surely?!

Don't be sorry GE - you speak the truth. Other than the Scott decision this is the strongest available side.

RedRaider, the issue is that the technologies you're posting about are uneconomic, at present anyway, so they can't deliver the emission reduction targets.

This week we had 49% of possession and the 80 minute game saw us locked up at 24 all. Right from the begining of its introduction I have not liked Golden Point. If 2 sides are locked up after 80 minutes then give them both a point and congratulate both sides. If you look at the Eels tries their firs...

Tut tut Gergreg, you’ve clearly lost the plot! Occam’s razor.

And I've just answered those questions as I see it. No problem. You've responded to questions. I haven't seen you answer one yet.

Once a technology proves effective and economic then the uptake will pay for the development costs. If I use the example of mobile telephones, we didn't need to tax landline telephones to pay for the new technology. The early mobile devices were clunky of single use to send and receive calls. Now w...

I don't know why you would think I have said we should do nothing. I had said many times in this thread that we need to meet our emission reduction targets. I have also posted a number of articles on technologies which could help us get there. I dunno could be because the government inaction you su...

Tut Tut Gangers, you've lost the plot. Isn’t it strange how I’ve lost the plot... and yet the challenging questions from others are coming for you. How very odd?
