The Greenhouse

BJ

I am sure a big reason Shillington wanted to stay was that he feels the club is on the way up. There is nothing worse for a player than to leave after a lot of hard work then see the team win the comp. Usually means a lifetime of 'if only I had stayed'

BJ

I think Furner's early contract extension had a lot to do with upcoming player recruitment at the time. He was (is?) popular with the players and the likes of Harrison, Leahroyd-Lars, Picker etc coming off contract, definately feel more comfortable extending contracts when there is stability at the ...

BJ

Stop wasting your breath on all these crazy theories. The problem is obvioulsy Phil Gould picking us to come 2nd.

We need him to release a revised statement that we are a sinking ship and no chance of winning a game.

BJ

Shillington was good sofar.

But our dummy half service has been atrocious.

Our forwards have no one who can step or put a good pass on.

Very bad in too many areas

Hopefully the damage isn't done by time he takes the field.

probably will be

BJ

We were side on in the grandstand and that pass was forward out of the hands and travelled well forward. Straight away call from ref. However, some of the missed Knights offside players after we made half breaks and those couple of key calls WERE MATCH CHANGING! we would have been up 18-0 We didn't ...

After the ridiculous funding of the Greater Western Sydney Giants by the ACT government I would like a banner

"Hey Andrew Barr where is our $26 Million?"

BJ

im sooo happy TLL is staying in canberra. him and the rest of our forwards are such a huge part of our team.

i agree with any type of bagging of eels. mainly because of the hayne crain train plain drain dowdy peace of crap.

BJ

We're just going to have to get used to all these wild stories I suspect. I know. I'll happily take the wild speculation in return for a big season! And I find it quite funny that he's described as a "former Wests Tiger" first and a Canberra Raider second writer must be tigers supporter ;)

BJ

i thought lockyer was gonna say Dugan reminded him of himself. after i read it i realised lockyer is not the sort of person to say that.

BJ

theres not to many good teams out there for bennett to coach, unless ofcourse hes looking for a team that would be tough job to win a grand final.

BJ

well ofcourse furners not gonna now the contract fell out of his pocket if hes fallen asleep

BJ

i cant believe it. roosters hasn't singed one of key players this year!

>

BJ

i dont even think carney would make that much of a change we already have a great (and young) backline

BJ

i think that one of stuarts intentions with these squads is to also give himself a reason to stay as coach for a long duration of time. in short he is also future proofing his involvement with the blues.

BJ

gee, tilses arm are massive.

Record crowd for Raiders semi-final Green machine fever: Raiders fans have snapped up 26,500 tickets for Friday night's semi-final against the West Tigers. Green machine fever is spreading in Canberra, with the NRL semi-final between the Raiders and West Tigers set to be played in front of a record...

BJ

Just bought 2 family tickets (8 Total tickets) online at http://premier.ticketek.com.au/ (you need to register first if not already) using one of the above codes.

8 Seats In Bay 25 (which is pretty good) and it only took a few minutes EASY!

Go Raiders

BJ

Win showed the St george Illawarra delayed game live into Wollongong so there has been a precedent set. Let's see how much Win actually support league in canberra. So far I have seen nothing but lip service from them. They keep talking about their support for the Raiders but I never actually see any...

BJ

I am afraid I have a similar story of no response or contact from Raiders Club. Lucky for me I am a well paid consultant and former senior public servant (just setting background here) and after the call by D Gallop this year following the Storm drama, I developed a salary cap proposal to off-set th...

BJ

Some shocking refereeing against both sides that went about 70/30 against us.

At some key parts of the game too.

Shillington outstanding, Fensom, Buttriss, Vidot, Mogg and Tilse all good too

BJ

Vidot has dropped a few bombs, I think it is more to do with technique (and confidence) than ability. He has done some ridicolously high and mistimed jumps when leaping for the ball. This causes the head and eyes to move too much at the crucial moment and also places great importance on timing (whic...

BJ

In the games against Bronco's, Tigers and Souths the Raiders went half an hour in each match without a penalty. And there were some there to be given.

The refs were a bit scared that we got that far ahead and they didn't want to 'have an upset on their watch'

We were duped!

BJ

We have had so many shockers!!!!! But do you remember many years ago in Newcastle when their second rower put a grubber kick through but it hit the ground before he kicked it. It was allowed as a try because he may have been going for a drop kick at goal?????!!!!!! But another Colin Best try against...

BJ

Hookers (under pressure and fatigue) have to (49 times out of 50) be able to time their passes to the forwards, throw accurately balls onto the chest, pick when to run and pick when to pass quickly to the outside backs. I am afraid this is too difficult for most players to pick up at an NRL level qu...

BJ

Trying to be positive here, work with me it ain't easy

TLL best game sofar, getting back to his best

tilse shillington Logan were pretty good

mogg, apart from a miss also snuffed out a couple of roosters raids with strong defence and looked to pass quickly and link attackers.

BJ

Hayne intercept

Yeah 20 seconds after a disallowed video ref decision to the Raiders that Krisnan Inu said "when we all got up the ball was on the tryline"

And the sin binning of Mile???????

BJ

Teams don't really play half and 5/8th anymore it's all about left and right. (Rightly or wrongly mind you). Under this model I think Campese stays generally on the left where he looked dangerous on the weekend. But Mogg and McCrone should both play on the right so we have two points of attack there...

BJ

Raiders dropped the ball onto marshalls foot which bounced up to tuquiri who was at least a metre in front.

BJ

Am I the only person on the planet that noticed that tuquiri was accidently off side for marshalls try just before half time. I was expecting to read all about it here and on the newsfeeds. Alas no

BJ

Parra signed him for 250k a year and were after a payout in line with those dollars.

We have payed close to that for a lot less skillful outside backs in the past.

I think Inu is about to break into his prime and we should go for him (but at no more than 250k)

BJ

Mogg 'was' a quality NRL centre (and one of the quickest in the club during his time - have people forgot this). He may have lost some speed, but he could always put his winger away with deft passing and his passing and vision has improved as a 5/8 in France. A centre with passing skills will take s...

BJ

If you remember rightly the Raiders had to let Clyde and Stuart go because their Super League salaries were going to start to count in the Cap from 1998. They were 700k and 500k respectively - A huge chunk The NRL should have realised what this would do to League in Canberra - This was the biggest f...
