Re: A new Canberra Stadium

There is also the continuing controversy as to whether the new stadium would make money (see report from the Guardian below) or lose money (see report from the ABC below). Is the view optimistic or pessimistic. Interesting that the optimists include 7 NRL games per year. Controversial new Tasmanian ...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

Savage 2024 is night and day compared to Savage 2022. Scrap 2023 cause there’s no real evidence but his game has come a long way since he spent time in firsts. I reckon that's expected Reg. In 2022 he was a young fast teenage footballer with a damaged shoulder. Now he has had 2 more off seasons to ...

Zim, I reckon the 'let 'em race' practice is best. No question then of 'rigging' results, simply best driver and car wins.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita... for a second time

Didn't Fifita have both knee and pectoral surgery in the off season. I don't know that he has played a match this year so far. He is on the extended reserves list for this weekend but not named in the 17. The story smells of time to offload a large chunk of the Titans salary cap. Captain Tino gone f...

Congratulations on 250 games Sticky. Another milestone match and another loss. JC's 300th was a loss. Here's hoping Rapa can have some success this week for his 200th game with the Raiders and Papa when his 300th Raiders match comes around later this season.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

Ferrari goes 1 and 2 in the Australian F1 Grand Prix. Aussie Oscar Piastri finishes in 4th after being told to come in behind his fellow McLaren driver team mate Norris. Best for the team but it would have been nice to see Piastri finish on the podium for his home Grand Prix.
