For what its worth I did the ladder predictor and had us come 9th - albeit equal 6th on points with F/A pushing us all the way back to 9th. Given how it stands now though - I am with other posters here - blood some of the young'ens. So what if we drift to 10 or 11th. Give them game time in a season ...

Shiv

hey - out of curiosity, how many tippers are in the comp?

Shiv

any NRLW logo/images in it?

Shiv

responding to an earlier comment re CNK. I watched him play on the weekend, and I have to admit I was very happy he wasn't playing first grade. He did not play well - certainly not up to his usual standards defensively. And in attack, by heaven does he die with the ball a lot. I really do wish him t...

Shiv

great game - but a thought for you on that last play.
Klein said "you can challenge it" like 3 times. Almost like he wanted the raiders to challenge it - maybe he felt he had to call it, but equally thought it was a bad call?

Shiv

Good game, but yeah some pretty basic errors by the blues. interesting to see that the blues resorted to the Raiders game plan when under pressure - run one out 4 tackles, kick on the 5th - they'll never see that coming...

Shiv

short press conference, nothing of value. No bounce of the ball or luck crap. Seems upset about the last tackle. Whitehead said we are a better team than that (I would argue we are not, given well, how we played, and the fact we lost) oops forgot to add Foggarty was trash. (from Shiv, sadly not from...

Fogarty is trash again.

just to add
Fogarty is trash.
again.

Shiv

well that was just rubbish. Aside from possibly Jack's worst day, knock ons and failing to find touch, WITH the wind behind you. Where was Foggarty? Thats where we were looking for his experience to take control. Instead in the last 10 he cocks up on the 5th. Given he only has this year on his contr...

Shiv

thoughts on Morris? Thought he was hard done by at the Sharks

Shiv

End of Round 12
Shiv 107.73

Shiv

do we know if they are fixing it or not?

Shiv

I'll play - after this round (round 9?) - 73.58

Shiv

You sad sack of emo grunts. This forum used to be full of fans. We won. Celebrate. Who cares who we beat or how it was played. If you still disect and whinge and pick on players then either follow another team or get a job with the club. Absolute killjoys. It's a game. It's sport. It's a release. I...

Shiv

To be fair, the way I read that article (where most of the lines are just straight from his presser) is that the "lot of whacks" is with regards to lack of consistency in the spine for the last 18months. Having said that, I agree he's not getting whacked in the press, at all. So when he's ...

Shiv

ok, I have my protest potato - where do I put it to show my protest?

Shiv

wait, what is a protest potato?
Is that better than a protest egg?

Shiv

Good lord I hope the players are not reading this forum. At various points in time pretty much all players have been trashed (in some cases either because of OR inspite of their respective performances), along with the groundsman one particular time as well if memory servers me right. I think Peeps ...

Shiv

Here is a different take for you. Firstly, we played ****, and well and truly deserved to lose. However we played with our 3rd string halfback, missing both 1st up wingers, which then led to other players out of position. Ricky has said before there are no "easy" games in NRL - and maybe t...

Shiv

oh thats cool. Big fan of NRLW, and even better to have the game here.

Shiv

we have nothing to gain by offloading him early. We don't get the money back - its dead $$. If he sits on the sidelines as contingency for injuries etc. all the better for us. That doesn't stop the young blood coming through - just gives us depth a season. If he never gets used, all good, still no d...

Shiv

I don't know that the coach missing game day is that much of an impact. He'd still be connecting in via video conference, all the plans would be agreed etc. Only impact is a firey/inspirational half time speech?

Shiv

Question, who is the goal kicker?

Shiv

in fairness Kris is out due to COVID, not due to selection

Shiv

Anyone know any details on when it happened? I don't remember seeing him go down in the trial game, and even afterwards in the presser - Ricky stated they got through without injuries and he was happy about that... And, hes in the photos on the Raiders website from training on Monday - smiling and s...

Shiv

rather odd question - but does anyone know how to stop the charger blue light flashing when its charging? Love the charger, but a flashing blue light next to my bed at night time is something I gave up a while ago....

Shiv

again, true-ish. Putting in Savage in FB over CNK is (at a macro level) favoring attacking over defending. As mentioned multiple times (and I agree), there were widespread problems all over the park with attack. I agree that if there continue to be widespread attacking problems across the park then ...

Shiv

true - ish. We also did see what happens with a FB that couldn't defend - that same Caleb Aekins. overall he was a net loss- there is a reason why he isn't on our books anymore. ( I swear in some of those games it was almost like he was under instructions to let the ball bounce)

Shiv

Its probably also worth considering that COVID will likely impact our ability to field players for a given match - above and beyond Rep duty or injury. So depth will be tested a lot more - so more peeps would get game time than normal. I think its actually likely Cotric will have a boom year. He'd b...

Shiv

its not months - more like days or 2 weeks. Basically need to be recovered, coming up negative in the PCR/RAT and not showing any symptoms

Shiv

Actually his punishment is far worse than you think. Assuming he's guilty - that's the end of his career - and his lifestyle. He *did* have talent. He did win a GF and was being paid far more money a year then we would hope to earn AND if he played to his talent could have stayed on that $$ year in ...

Shiv

At least he's not being referred to as "Raiders Player" or "Ex-Raiders Player". Suspect that is the end of his NRL career. Hope he gets some help and turns his life around.

Shiv

I dunno - think I am more with Botman on this one. I do agree that the Salary cap stops clubs going broke. I would even postulate that it helps level say 75% of the playing field stay level. However the other 25% (i.e. the cream of the crop players in each club) being far more impacted by available ...

Shiv

maybe. I always though Dolphins were a good fit for him. Last year in Canberra, Dolphins is a fresh start - he can be a foundation player, maybe captain, certainly a leader. Potentially squeeze 2 years out of them.
Thats 3 full years then at max $$

Shiv

agreed - last year I saw him drift to the right once or twice to add to the attack on that side. The couple of times he did it you could see the opposition were not ready for him - and all I could think was "gee, why doesn't he do that more often...."
