Re: 2023 Finals Week 1 v Knights: Game Day

Raiders are losers. Who can be satisfied conceding four ridiculously soft tries and then being unable to kick a simple field goal like u9’s are trained to do? And then topping it off with a kick out on the full and a dumb penalty to end our season? This is vintage Raiders, entirely predictable, sam...

Re: 2023 Finals Week 1 v Knights: Game Day

The kick out on the full by Fogarty in the 1st half of ET cost us. The Raiders still put in a valiant effort to get it to extra time. I expected the Raiders to lose by 30 pts, so it was a brave effort by the boys. The kick out didn’t cost us. Young being offside cost us. We had our chances. But we ...

If the Raiders go into the game with the same tactics and basically the same personnel (minus Kriss of course), they may as well surrender now.

Re: 2023 Rd 27 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

If this is not a smokescreen, Stuart has completely lost the plot. This is the most important game for the year and our defence was unable to counter the Donkeys speed out wide and he has again selected Croker! Our forwards also took a battering, meaning, Croker is denying another forward on the ben...

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Game Day

I thought we were dudded with a few calls and quite a few piggy back penalties getting them out of trouble. The decision to take the two was annoying but not out of character for our 'negative' playing style. But our main problem yet again is coaching and selection. We were torn apart by a young, a...

Re: 2023 Rd 25 v Bulldogs: Game Day

That will do me. With 20s on the clock and 10 mtrs out Fogarty goes for a FG instead kicking for a possible try. One pt is not going to win this. Absolute debacle again. We don't deserve to be in the 8 and the way things are going, we soon won't be.

Re: 2023 Rd 25 v Bulldogs: Game Day

After going out to see the NSW team yesterday demolish the Dogs, I wonder how 2-3 of them don't get picked for the NRL side given the plodders who are cemented into the side. The only positive today is no Jack and maybe Frawley doesn't throw the ball into touch as much.

A team slaughtered last week (and 3 other times this yr), but no changes apart from the return of the Capt who has already demonstrated this year, he is not up to NRL level anymore. He should have retired with immediate effect.

Stuart yet again proves he is totally out of his depth as an NRL coach. This was the most important game of the year for the Raiders given their woeful F&A, but Stuart puts a rookie into the centres and leaves Wighton at 5/8 where he has been a disaster for a long time. The smart and most obviou...

Re: 2023 Rd 23 v Storm: Game Day

Taking the 2 pts early on is not looking so good now. Need 18pts int the 2nd half just to get even. Wighton is pathic at 5/8. He needs to go to the centres to match his skill set and maybe Strange or Whitehead to 5/8 to give us some chance to win.
