Rapana needs to be in our side. The guy is dripping with talent. That's all I have to say.

Re: Dugan performance against Sharks

Played well. I agree moving him to the halves would be a wrong move. Dugan is a fullback pure in my opinion. Just look at Hayne's stints in the halves as an example of trying to play a pure fb in the halves and how that works out

Re: Canberra Raiders players placed on alcohol ban

I wonder if the ban is to stop the binge drinking and if it is, how many players would actually be reported. In my experience, I've seen many of the players, past and present out on an obvious binge, sometimes before game day. I guess I'm wondering how many people would actually report it if they sa...

Re: A problem easily solved

Harrison's best quality was his offload imo and I can't remember the last time he used it. Given how many we let the Broncos get it would have been nice to see him bring it back

Re: What is an acceptable start to season 2012?

I think with the Storm hoodoo cracked last year we should be more confident of at least beating them at home. I also think the boys will be keen to account for their first loss to the Titans at home, by putting one on them at their home ground this year. I think it's a matter of pride to win that on...

Re: Fortress Canberra Stadium

I can't think of anything worse than drums, whistles and horns at games. It is needless noise if you ask me, cheering is so much better. At least with cheering and chants you can direct it to something rather than just making annoying noises. I always take a bit of pride in losing my voice after a R...

Re: 1 or 2 Hookers in the top 17????

I'll pay that. There are numbers on here who are for Buttsy for 80min, and I'm with them. He is a very good hooker IMO and I hope to see him given big mins this season. I think he'll rise to the challenge and show his form if he gets the chance. If he plays well it will make Campo's comeback that mu...
