Re: Ricky Stuart on ABC Canberra Grandstand

Let’s settle this. In order to criticise the performance of a coach or player, I don’t need to be able to demonstrate that I could do better. I just need to be capable of understanding the basic measures of good and bad performance. Such measures for a coach include finals appearances, win percentag...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018

The only reason our halves are consistently called upon to win us games in clutch situations is our inability to defend. I am not even convinced a so called “dominant half” can work when we have Hodgson (and, to a lesser extent, Wighton) in our spine. Williams and Sezer are fine - we made a run to ...

Re: Is Croker the right captain for the team

A simple change of captain alone will not fix something systemic like our late game fades. That is a huge issue. I'm not sure where anyone's said that, and I don't think that was the point people are trying to make. It's a part of a number of changes that need to happen. From what I can see in the ...

Croker in the post match to the tune of: i thought the game was lost and we had no chance. Austin came on an kept saying we still had time and we could still win this.

Re: Is Croker the right captain for the team

Ref pull is such a garbage answer. We're the Raiders. They didn't listen to Tongue, they didn't listen to Campo, they don't listen to Croker, they won't listen to Hodgson. Simple. As for the line in the press conference, maybe the skipper thought we'd lose because in spite of him having a whale of ...
