Milne in the bin on full-time. Diving below the knees

He's been doing that crap his entire career. Someone will be seriously injured by him soon.

I wonder if it is pride. Ricky definitely has that in spades but who’s he too proud to admit a mistake to? Us? I doubt it. The media? They’re not pointing out issues with selections. They never do. Lots of people claimed Ricky was too proud to admit he should’ve played Savage but he overcame it by ...

That’s the spirit Well come up with a counter argument then. I would say I’m being realistic. I agree it is our best chance but sometimes people need to not put undue pressure on young players as it is counterproductive I think it's impossible to say what will happen at this point. I agree, let's n...

That sounds an awful lot like the Eels have no hope left that a counter offer might sway Sanders. I suspect they were never in a position to go anywhere near countering the offer we made them, just to stay in reserve grade.

If we're being fair. 11 years is way too long for anyone to hold any position without achieving success or without demonstrating a clear upward trend indicative of imminent success. The spine is the most critical combination and roster retention challenge in Rugby League. After 11 years, Ricky argu...

Between the terrible coaching, terrible junior development and terrible recruiting I'm surprised we've won a game. [emoji23] But I do appreciate the irony of this discussion happening in the thread about the Raiders signing the NSW junior Origin halfback from Parramatta for 3 seasons. I also loved t...

Seiffert82

Yeah, I take Finchy's point but there are a few sketchy examples there. Dave Taylor's career was legitimately revived here as was Paulo's and CHNs. Leilua, Austin and even Adam Elliott also had their careers revived here, and let's not forget Charnze who went from a nobody to one of the best NRL fu...

What Levi has demonstrated this season is below average qualities across the board for a starting NRL hooker.

Which is admittedly an improvement on previous seasons, where he was barely playing at NRL standard.

I also don't think attributing 'good' attack years (points scored) to Ricky's good coaching is entirely objective either. Looks how we scored most of those points - was it structured attack based on a targetted game plan to exploit opposition weaknesses, or lucky crash-ball plays coupled with sheer...

Seiffert82

Which players have gone backwards since joining the raiders? That's the way you judge coaches/the impact of anything. Take a snapshot before, baseline. Then measure the improvement, the affect. Let's be reasonable here. Ricky haters, tell us, who's gone backwards? I'm not a "Ricky hater",...

Taxpayers are actually the people who pay! So asking them how much they’d like to see spent on a stadium is pretty relevant. They’re Commonwealth and Territory voters and taxpayers as well. Recently we’ve helped pay for a stadium in Townsville and about to fork out for one in Hobart. Maybe this jur...

Seiffert82

It's absolutely ludicrous that people keep trying to paint our issues in attack over the last 10 years as merely personnel problems rather than inherently bad coaching and systems. CNK is the prime example of this, there's really not much else to be said that hasn't been said already. There's also ...

What is this ideal 'attacking structure' that everyone is referring to? I think many people confuse a backline that plays with depth as some sort of magical attacking structure. That's can be effective if you have elite speed on both sides of the field, but not so much if your centres are powerful ...

So I have to subscribe to participate in the survey…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pretty sure there are no consequences if you don’t. Or if you do. Precisely. Let's ask the punters where they want a stadium and how much 'they' are willing to pay for it...and for good measure whether they thi...

To some extent, which brings me to my one criticism over the dummy half selection and interchange issues. The recruitment of Hodgo transformed this club for a period, and we'll never know the full impact of the serious injuries to Trevilyan. That aside, it's an issue that will hopefully be resolved ...

Other than the Levi/Starling situation, Stuart is nailing his job this season IMO.

He's keeping a cool head and allowing his young players to come in with quite a simple game plan.

While we have no real control here, Fog's injury now means the Eels would be simply blocking Sanders' NRL pathway if they held onto him. It would be interesting to know who Sanders' manager is. Often they have a bit of leverage depending on who their other clients are. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tap...

Seiffert82

Yeah, I'm with Nicko.

We've got to lose Sanders to fast track Fog, if we want to sign Azza.

The young Raider set to replace injured Fogarty Jamal Fogarty still has to get scans, but the Canberra Raiders medical staff are pretty sure the halfback has ruptured his biceps. That will see Raiders coach Ricky Stuart name Kaeo Weekes in the No.7 jersey this week. I'm going to put Kaeo to seven,&...

I didn't watch the game or read any comments yet due to work,but we sacking Ricky yet :roflmao This was always bound to happen unfortunately :( We were up for this game and I thought we were all over the Broncos earpy, but unfortunately the errors started to creep in. Credit to Brisbane, they took ...

I thought Sasagi did an admirable job, but that right hand side in defence was all over the shop and Timoko suffered for it. In many respects it's just the nature of bringing almost an entirely new team together and expecting it to be cohesive from the get go. It's not going to happen. The injuries ...

Exactly. We have next to no control over the outcome here.

what did he say in the presser? He said some people on the GH need a uppercut. Haha so true. I can’t believe the overreactions to the game and the pitch forks that have come out. Most of the people on here are hilarious. First of all, atrocious tough conditions. 24 of their points were scored from ...

That's quite the injury list.

Weekes seems to be the only viable option for the halves. These kids are now on a pretty steep learning curve.

The Broncos scored 5 tries in 20 minutes. Other than that it was a pretty competitive game.

The hooker situation needs to be resolved.

An eminently forgettable game.

Some really good efforts from many players combined with some bad errors, bad luck and the injury to Fogs.

Really tough game. Proud of that second half effort.
