Re: A new Canberra Stadium

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.

I honestly can't take anyone seriously who is advocating for Hoppa or even Cotric over Schiller at this stage.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

They say that the sign of good teams is winning when you don’t play well.

I am not sure that is us yet but maybe it is a matter of this very young team will have its ups and downs and managing to convert the down periods into wins is a bonus.

I can’t remember a time we have taken the 2 to go up by 4 where we have gone on to win the game.

There's no one better in open space in the comp than Sav. None. So good Having the lingering threat of that speed and ability out wide should give you more you more space in the centre and edges.

As always with these sort of games, 12 points lead isn’t enough when you’re dominating like this and the opposition is stinking it up.

I’m not feeling fantastic about this game.

If we play like rounds 1-3 it will be tight and we are a chance. If we play like last weekend it’s going to be a shellacking.

Souths are a mess.

It is clearly toxic in there and the unhealthy dynamic between coach and players with the favouritism towards the likes of Latrell and Walker has barely even been denied.
