Yep Jarryd Hayne more a chance of getting an early release. As exciting as this is, may I remind everyone it is hard for Parra players to receive an early release. Just ask Jarryd Hayne about that :roflmao Billy W just casually trying the same material in different threads on the same night.

People on here somehow highjacking a Sanders thread to grandstand about Stewart being a concern are cooked. What's wrong with you? Seriously. He's 18. And has had one game. Get a life. He’s had 2 games. And no-one’s “grandstanding”. It was a discussion about the unlikelyhood (is that a word?) of al...

David Furner ?
“Furner isn’t out there missing tackles” I’m sure someone will say.

Just wait until he gets “Latrell-y” back

Can we start a separate sub-forum called the Billy and Finchy show (with occasional visits from pandemic expert Nicholas-man) so that the rest of the GH doesn't get clogged constantly with this ongoing drivel?

Do you think it could be because…. And stay with me here….. ummm ….. despite the echoes of a forum, Woolford isn’t actually very good. Levi is our starting 9 doing a great job, and Starling disappointingly is 14 because there is nobody better. Crazy theory I know! But is my theory that a coach migh...

I wonder if it is pride. Ricky definitely has that in spades but who’s he too proud to admit a mistake to? Us? I doubt it. The media? They’re not pointing out issues with selections. They never do. Lots of people claimed Ricky was too proud to admit he should’ve played Savage but he overcame it by ...

Quality over quantity. 100 games of crap is still crap

Look we need to cool our jets a little here. It’s promising that we signed a good young player but that is all it is: promising. People stating that this means we should be challenging by 2026 or whatever is not only being disrespectful to history - I can only think of Manly with DCE, Foran and Bal...

Who doesn’t hate the Roosters? If we have to suffer rebuilding then I want to be at least be comforted by them being crap

Agreed.

It's amazing how even after halftime (similar to our last Sharks game) the Warriors still can't switch their attitude. Titans waltz in again straight after halftime. It seems that once the complacency has set in you can't switch it off no matter how many tries the opposition starts running in.

Finchy

What’s happened to the Warriors? They looked like they were just scoring whenever they wanted to in the opening to the game now they will go into HT behind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk A classic Raider's-type fade. Get cocky scoring at ease early, put the cue in the rack with about 60mins to...

But surely you can see clubs like the Roosters or Broncos (who can basically sign whoever they want) gives Robbo and Walters an advantage over Ricky when recruitment is never an issue for them? Roosters have no dramas signing Keary, Tedesco, Crichton, Smith, Sualii, Leniu, Young, etc. We could neve...

Why even have a coach then, is always my answer to that. Is he just there to fill up the water bottles? Come on Nickman, that’s not my argument. The coach bears some responsibility for both good performances and poor performances. But not all responsibility. Is Jordan Rapana a good player because o...

Welcome to sports. There isn’t a coach in the world, not even in sports like soccer, who gets every player he wants. Even the bloke coaching Real Madrid has to accept potential recruits electing to going to other clubs. Is the premise that unless he gets all his top targets he’s not responsible or ...

Sorry if I misunderstood you. But if we're fair we can apply that regression to any player under any coach That's kind of my point. In super simple terms: Argument: Players play good, therefore coach good. Players play bad, coach not bad, players are old/injured/off-field dramas. My point: Why can'...

I’d love to throw a question out there to people? In the time that Stuart has been coach, do you believe we have over achieved or under achieved with respect to the cattle we have had at the time? It’s his cattle. He hand picked it… if he’s over performed and the cattle he picked isn’t good enough,...

Someone do a complete statistical breakdown of Levi vs Woolford. Everything. Runs/tackles/missed tackles/errors/try causes/try assists/etc. Surely Woolf will come out on top in nearly every category. Right on it sir..... or here's a wild idea. How about do it yourself Nah - I have no idea where or ...

The bottom line is that CHN is going to be entitled to a full pay out of his contract if medically retired. He is well within his rights to try and get back on the field. If CHN is medically retired, the Raiders will be entitled to full salary cap relief from the time of the incident. It is in neit...

Finchy

Yeah, I take Finchy's point but there are a few sketchy examples there. Dave Taylor's career was legitimately revived here as was Paulo's and CHNs. Leilua, Austin and even Adam Elliott also had their careers revived here, and let's not forget Charnze who went from a nobody to one of the best NRL fu...

Which players have gone backwards since joining the raiders? That's the way you judge coaches/the impact of anything. Take a snapshot before, baseline. Then measure the improvement, the affect. Let's be reasonable here. Ricky haters, tell us, who's gone backwards? I'm not a "Ricky hater",...

He had a medical episode on the footy field whilst playing. Surely he wouldn't be using any "sick leave". Without knowing the intricacies of how or why his heart reacted the way it did, I would still imagine it would be considered an employment-related 'injury' and would be covered by vari...

What about a 22 year old guy with a career ahead of him on a stupidly high 4 year deal.

I also don't think attributing 'good' attack years (points scored) to Ricky's good coaching is entirely objective either. Looks how we scored most of those points - was it structured attack based on a targetted game plan to exploit opposition weaknesses, or lucky crash-ball plays coupled with sheer...

Finchy

The only reason I can think of to justify Starling's selection is experience. Aside from Levi he has more experience than Woolford and Puru. With such an inexperienced backline, he's probably looking for more experience on the field. Isn’t he room mates with Huddo and they’re besties? Maybe Ricky d...

And the fact that Huddo had to suggest to Fog last year that perhaps he should practice kicking field goals, tells me that the attack coaching leaves much to be desired. Remember Fog had never kicked a field goal in his career prior to the second Dolphins game last year. Even in that game he flat ou...
