Huge no from me for the record

Hey hey hey, I’m not the one who was advocating for signing Latrell and Wighton, NeeeeeeeeeeegZ

The Nickman

But he doesn’t do any of that stuff now, Timmy.

In fact, he doesn’t do anything!

Starling must be on thin ice. Gonna be a tough 3 weeks. Would be happy with 1/3. I’m genuinely happy with how the coach is going about selecting the squad this season except for this one glaring omission And it had such a bigger impact on the close out of our games than the makeup of the bench prop...

No it does not

Look, you're right. What I mean is, it's not as damaging when we're in front.

The Nickman

It’s incredible how nearly every voter has Tapine as the best on ground, yet the likes of Billy and the Dally M judges can’t even give him a single point I actually find it more incredible that you think it's incredible, or that he's somebody to actually be taken seriously. I was being sarcastic, a...

If Barr is re-elected there is very little doubt in my mind we will be here in April 2028 on page 272 of this tread having this exact same discussion. This whole thing became a farce many many years ago and the bloke is simply not engaging in this issue in good faith. You think Barr is not reading ...

He will be soon enough, I reckon. Now that most of us are coming around to Levi, expect old Billy Boy to pivot and turn to some other crappy option.

The Nickman

And I'm really happy with this team, with the obvious exception of Starling still at 14.

I just can't see why Stuart is persisting with an option that essentially cruels 20-30min of our game.

It works if we're comfortably in front, otherwise it's an awful option.

The Nickman

Same as last week - Sasagi in for Hoskingson. Starling is puzzling… just not effective for us anymore. No way Levi is an 80 minute hooker, there are very few of those in the competition. Would love to give Woolford a go, I don’t think Puru has played enough to slot in for 30 minutes a week tbh - he...

FInchy having a go at Fergus here, you hate to see it.

It's not hard. Trust your team-mate on the inside and move over if he's not passing.

That's great, in u10s, but it's 100% not how NRL teams defend.

So I assume this is getting announced today?

The Nickman

Actually I had a thought about the charge down. Penalty for the charge down is 6 again. Let’s say it gets blown. Foran is still taking that kick and Chevy is still charging it down. Then Titans knock on. Then it’s Raiders ball. Nothing changes the outcome here even if it’s called offside. Chevy is ...

The Nickman

Injuries? Hoskings in one, who are the others?

The Nickman

Schiller's defence really needs to improve. Scores two tries but gives up one isn't sustainable. I've noticed that he seems to end up not marking anyone (Sivo's two tries, Kha-Perere). He has to take someone. He gets caught running after the ball like a dog playing catch on defence so often. It's b...

It's 2024, Boney.

Exciting times! Really looking forward to hearing him decide he's not interested in coming to Canberra for about the fifteenth time

The Nickman

I suspect it was the influence of the leadership coach that the club had on board at the time. He's no longer around. You might remember last year Ricky stated that leadership can't be taught from books etc and that his decision on resting Jarrod Croker was real leadership. Are you talking about Ke...

Then buy yourself one of those new radar tanks.

The Nickman

Except that’s exactly what he was in that period I spoke about He was extremely controlled and measured and was deliberate in his messaging re: officials and other things outside our control And it wasn’t as a result of winning, it was evident he had made a conscious decision to change his approach...

The Nickman

Mariota looks really good on the edge, wasn’t it him who put Schiller over for his second try? Schiller’s earned another run after this week too, there’s just so much excitement almost every time he gets the ball Schiller looks good with the ball in hand but he needs to get his positioning right in...

The Nickman

I'd be happy with Woolford starting, I'd be happy with Levi starting, I'm NOT happy with what Starling brings.

The Nickman

Full credit to the toys.

I feel like Red thinks Woolf needs to start.

The day that Ethan Strangers signs up to be a Raider for life.

Can't wait to see him take the field against the Broncos.

The Nickman

Hoppa's defence isn't good either! Can we put this myth to bed, please?

The Nickman

People talking like Hopoate doesn't constantly get run around to score tries.

He offers literally nothing that Schiller doesn't provide.

The Nickman

People are complaining about our poor hookers. Fair I guess. But... FB is the most important attacking position in the modern game. We have an undercooked rookie there. Until he finds his feet, we'll look a bit rubbish in attack- with basically no attacking input from the FB (see '23 Kris but less ...

The Nickman

I think it only happened due to Hosking's issues. We had to burn 2 interchanges when plan A would have seen him play 80mins and Starling comes on for Levi in a straight swap. I would have left Levi on for the full 80 with the possession we had. Levi is out on his feet after 50mins though, either ne...

Except for, y’know, all the restarts and penalties she blew and the fact she got the majority of her calls spot on You blokes, seriously Yea she probably couldn't do much more , a couple of years back teams that gave multiple 6 agains ended up with someone in the bin but its not really ruled that w...
