For a start... 25,000 is too small. It needs to be 30,000 if we are to remain a Preliminary Final venue. Second point... why relocate the stadium from Bruce... to the far edge of Canberra! Isn’t the whole idea of relocating to bring it into the centre of the city... where there’s bars, clubs etc ar...

We’re just lucky we have a known great negotiator in Don Furner handling all this. He seems to be well in control. Here's something to think about: we haven't had any confirmation that Sezer has signed a contract with Huddersfield or that Canberra have released him. What is confirmed is we are gett...

I wish the Aussies were playing GB. Would have been beautiful seeing all our Raider Poms playing our Raider Aussies.

Great Britain sides don't tour very often, so I'm disappointed for all the Kangaroos players.

Yep, just got mine, too. Not a fan of the cap being navy. It should be bright Raiders green, and then Canberra Stadium would be a sea of green! 100% agree with you on the colour of the cap skater. It should be Lime Green. The Grand Final looked sensational as vast sections of the Stadium were lime ...

A Raiders football signed by each member of the 2020 squad. When they win the comp, it will be worth something. A great memorabilia piece that won't cost the club an arm and leg to provide. Get onto it, Don Jr. Back in 2007, the Brumbies and Gilbert produced an limited edition full-sized Union ball...

Bateman's hopes take a hit John Bateman’s hopes of earning a contract upgrade next season have been further dented by the impressive performance of the Raiders this season. The Raiders were already struggling to upgrade the Englishman’s contract in 2020, and now have a number of representative clau...

Half time in the million pound game for those who are up early and wanting to watch some footy.

They will have a different attitude in 2020 to what they did in 2017. Back then, I posted an article on sports psychology that dealt with a US NBA team that had made the title play-offs. It was a huge achievement, but lost. The following year, players behaved as though they had won and carried on as...

Grand final half’s UK offer According to League Weekly, Raiders half Aidan Sezer is heading on to Huddersfield to work under former Canberra hooker Simon Woolford. The newspaper reports that Sezer has signed a three-year deal. Canberra duo Jack Murchie and Sam Williams are also reportedly “on the m...

And ex-Raider James Tedesco

With injuries and age taking their toll on him, I reckon he's maybe got one or two more good seasons left in him. If he goes to Union, he might have five or six. I recall Wales back Gareth Edwards being interviewed after he returned to Union. He asked what's different between Union and League and he...

Latrell Mitchell gets the nod ahead of Croker who was a sentimental favourite to be picked. The guy gets dumped from the NSW Origin side and reportedly is still spitting the dummy in GF week, but still picked. Croker could end up being the only Raiders legend not to play rep footy at the highest lev...

Actually NRL and Greenberg are pathetic. There's just no leadership in this game - bad referees appointed, spends $5,000 on a ring for Cameron Smith's wife, Josh McGuire eye gouges and gets a fine, the marketable players like Sam Burgess get away with calling the judiciary a Kangaroo court and invi...

We were clearly the better team. 2 messed up calls, 2 tries by the roosters. Why was the trainer even there 3 min into the game? Why didn't BJ pass the ball to Rapana? Why did the refs change their minds and why didn't any one hear it? Why did Whitehead run from dummy half? Why was CNK subbed? Why ...

What we need are more depth forwards. Horsborough was great today and this year - a future rep player (already better than Kaufusi and esp. Gillett, and Napa, Ofaghengaue, Wallace) Lui is a liability - at least one mistake per game, cannot attack or break the line Tapine is so so; good hit on Addo ...

Jack Wighton is named Clive Churchill medalist for 2019. His speech is drowned out by the booing of the Roosters fans. Ugly stuff. Classy It was a disgrace. There is not a single player for them that came near Wighton's performance. Yeah, Roosters fans. What can I say? I wouldn't shed a tear if mos...

Thurston grilling Robinson about his thoughts on the six again call. Robinson got pretty cranky and didn’t want to talk about it. Must take the gloss off a win when you know such a terrible decision played a big part in it.

Well done to Thurston for addressing the elephant in the room.

I used to work with the author, Michael Weaver. I wondered what had happened to him.

I read an article a while ago that GWS were demanding that the ACT Government upgrade some facilities at Manuka or they might not re-sign.

Yeah, they're Canberra's team... as long as the cheques keep clearing.

Looks like it's going to be a "House Full" sign on the stadium this Friday.

Will Barr be at the game to see we need a new stadium in person? Or do you reckon he'll be in Melbourne trying to justify the money spent on GWS?

I thought it was me being at the game that tipped things towards a loss.

Good news: I won't be at the game or watching it in a club. At home, riding the couch all the way instead.

I expect Souths to beat Manly in a close one with both sides bashing the crap out of each other.

I also tip Burgess to do something that sees him suspended again. Souths aren't the same side without him there.

He's been a great plater for us and at 30, with all the injuries he's sustained, he might have two more years in him if he stays in the NRL. If he goes to Japanese Rugby, his career could extend into his late 30s. Wingers in Union are more likely to catch a cold than a pass from a team mate (TIC). P...

Works well in the U.S. We ain’t ‘specIal’ And, of course, the Sydney centric views that Gould holds were the very reason for Super League's emergence.

Who knows. Losing the Manly game, as irritating as it was, may have made us more aware of how important it is to retain focus in these big games and not go off our game plan and get caught up in the niggle.

I think we've been performing better when we're away from home. Weight of expectation in front our big crowd gets to us. That said, it's Gallen's last home game and I understand it could be pretty close to house full sign. I see this as a positive going into the final so that the boys can experience...
