Re: Ideal position on the ladder
I think our best position is 8th, so we travel Week 1 of the finals and get battle hardened for the wars to come. Also, we then get to play the eels if they lose to Penrith Week 1 of the finals. Doesn't matter really. We've got no attack, our coach is stubborn, and Croker can't captain Sent from my...

Re: 2020 Rd 17 V Roosters: Game Day
I'm always bemused by the reactions on here after a loss. I thought the first half was a brilliant high quality match from both sides, but we tapered off in the second and the roosters class shone through. There's no shame in that, just a pity our execution dropped and we couldn't continue to match ...

Tough position. With regards to my kids, it's just unbelievable timing that I'll be in Thailand for the GF.... what makes me a little sad is that I won't get to share the experience with my wife and kids!

The ref's stitched us up but we were very poor in the first half and only came close because the Sharks were poor for most of the second half.

I will personally contribute $1,000 to help get Sezer out of Canberra. He is hands down the worst half back we have ever had to put up with at the Raiders. He is that bad that we had to pry Sam Williams of all people back from the UK to sure up the half back stocks. He has been an absolute failure ...

I don't think he's seen as a middle forward and we have 2 80min edge forwards. Just as likely though that there is a line through.
