Re: A new Canberra Stadium?
We have two and a half years to make this happen with Federal Government support and $$. This is the first and possibly the last time the ACT will hold the balance of power in the Senate.

Re: Halfback
Manly did a very good job of taking Sezer out of the game yesterday. They obviously had a plan to rush up and shut down any ability for Sezer to run or shift the ball wide... after a while Hodgson just stopped going right which starved our edges of ball. I reckon Sticky will spend a lot of video tim...

'We're contenders and we're coming': Canberra Raiders sound wake-up call to NRL heavyweights "We're contenders and we're coming." That's the message from Canberra after the Raiders beat a top-four NRL side for the first time this season, toppling competition leaders Melbourne last week. &...

We have to beat the Storm and Manly for anyone to take us seriously this year. Do that and we've earned the right to be talked about as a contender.

Re: One on one strip
And the 2019 Dally M stripper of the year is Josh Hodgson.. It will be a damn proud moment. Hey could get the skipper/stripper double.. It would be far more fitting if Munster won it and as he turned to leave the stage Hodgo jumped up and stripped it off him. Skipper/stripper/hooker treble.

The more I think about it, the more I think about us possibly being a contender, the more I believe that John Bateman is the key. Every team that wins the premiership has a culture that wills to win - the Storm being the best example. The Storm have been the anti-Raiders... if they get behind, even ...

Re: New recruits
CNK is a great reminder of the difference a natural fullback makes, particularly on kicks. He always seems to be in great position to field and return kick. His defensive positioning still needs a bit of work, but he's still learning our system, so I can forgive that.

Re: New recruits
I was impressed with Sutton. I watched him at the back end of the season at Wigan last year and wasn't impressed at all. I assume it was because he'd been injured and was a little out of shape. He looks fit and very solid, particularly defensively.

You need a few of those games to get into the finals. We had a lot go against us despite being largely the dominate team. As others have said CNK and Bateman have been fantastic.

I'm all for signing more quality English players.

Re: Is Jack Wighton the answer in the Canberra Raiders halves jigsaw puzzle?
I do enjoy how when we keep asking the same questions, we come up with the same answer in spite of evidence to the contrary. Is Wighton a half at NRL level? Can you turn a half into a hooker overnight? Why can't we win close games?

Re: Ryley Jacks linked to Canberra Raiders
When your attack is the second best in the league but you finish 10th and a winger and your fullback have as many try assists as your two primary halves... buying a defensively sound half who can distribute the ball sounds like a good move to me.
