Re: The Politics Thread 2024

Think you missed his point gerg.

I don’t think he’s saying the shutdowns themselves are meaningless. He’s saying the theatre around them is all stupidity and Bull politics from oppositions causing pain for the government.

Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork

Heather, put me down for death-riding Souths. Not so much because I want Jack to fail. Bit moreso because I want a team who made a suss signing to have it blow up in their face. I am very glad they did though. They went against the old adage and interrupted the Raiders while they were making a mista...

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

I doubt there's that much cash to splash, Strange, Timoko and Savage need deals by November. Need to sign Sanders too. Plus I’ll wager Raps has a contract next year I wouldnt bet against you on that because the Raiders will keep paying him if he's playing OK. But i really do think we need to move o...

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

* This is potentially the best backline we have had in a very long time. It’s up to Schiller to hold onto his spot now. If he has a big game and we win, Stuart won’t change things. I wouldn’t have your hopes on this one. Schiller could score a hattrick and set up two others, be man of the match and...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I reckon our defensive improvment has has more to do with a) replacing one of the worst defensive fullbacks in the comp with literally anyone b) not having a broken Jarrod Croker playing at centre c) a broken Elliott Whitehead being on the field for only 34 out of 180 available minutes d) put a leg...

Also the Tapine try: I didn't notice Tapine "knock on". Both him and RTS touched the ball simultaneously and Tapine regained it. Play on.. Given they did it one handed on opposite sides of the ball that’s instantly a knock on. Then it’s just down to which one you believe touched it first ...

Well, being top of the ladder was nice while it lasted.

Still a decent effort away against a strong team. Fix up a few of the selections and this can still be a good season.
