Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
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.

Re: Coaching issues
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...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
Between the terrible coaching, terrible junior development and terrible recruiting I'm surprised we've won a game.

Re: Coaching issues
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...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
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.

Re: Coaching issues
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...

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",...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium
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...

Re: Coaching issues
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 ...

Re: Coaching issues
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 ...

Re: Coaching issues
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.

Re: Canberra Raiders make new offer to Eels half Ethan Sanders
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...

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.

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 ...

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