Given he was unable to crack first grade in the NRL at the Sharks or Titans, I'm not sure about that; those highlights are from a competition that is sadly not much stronger than the Queensland Cup, at the least it is clearly not first grade NRL standard. I guess we shall see. My thoughts exactly. ...

What on earth does raising tax have anything to do with the Canberra Raiders, and how does that give the club any advantage of any sort. It makes as much sense to say Brisbane has an advantage as it is the capital of the state of Queensland, which raises State taxes. Fact is, the biggest factor in ...

We had the 2nd worse defence last season, so as bad as our attack was at times our defence on the whole was horrific IMO.

Seiffert82

It's a newspaper article, not a full blown brief of every single thing they have changed and have been working on over the offseason! I thought the key things raised were promising. Defence needs to be a focus as does working on their intensity and structure in attack. It's pretty clear the entire c...

Canberra, the fans and the GH in general will go mental when we win this thing again. It will be bigger than 89 IMO.

I like this thred It reminds me of the singing bunny rabbit my parents gave my 3 year old last Easter. It was kinda funny the first time you pressed the button as it sang and danced. By the 20th time of singing the same old song it became kinda tiresome, but every now and again you'd give it a kick...

Dunno. 5 years playing rah rah has probably extended his career by a couple of seasons! He had a few major injuries early in his career which would make him a risk, but he could be a good depth option.

Seiffert82

Yeah, I'm like that every rep game really. Couldn't care less who wins for the most part, as long as no Raiders get injured.

FTA coverage has nothing to do with performance or style of play. It's all about whether your team is located in an area where ratings are measured and whether your management team knows people who know people. The statistics prove it, end of story. The Storm have been the most consistent team for ...

Mick, Broncos get the best FTA Coverage of any club and have done for the past 5 years. During that time they even missed the finals. Yes, this is because the Broncos rate very well in QLD. In case you hadn't noticed, Canberra is not as big as QLD and the ratings aren't there. Besides, the Daylight...

I think he's worth in the order of 8-10% of the cap, whatever that may be...i.e. $330,000 to $400,000 in today's dollars and whatever that may be in the future. Hopefully the club can help arrange some 3rd party deals.

Broncos general manager of football operations Andrew Gee said the allocations were a tribute to the strength of the squad and the style of football played in 2011. "I think we got 17 or 18 Friday night games this year, so we're used to it," Gee said. "The good thing is that it gives...

Nice work mate, some top shelf stuff there. Obviously a lot of hard work and time has gone into capturing those scenes. You say anyone can do this sort of stuff with a bit of practice, but it's one thing having the technical know-how and something entirely different to have the eye to compose an ima...

I'd be a fan of that. The Stains, Goosters and Breddogs can have one each and we'll keep the other 10. Hopefully one of our 10 will be fit to play each week.

5 minutes with 2 players down. If you cant score twice in that time you arent trying. All you need to do is call your power play from a scrum 10m out. You should score off the 1st play , then you will have another 4min to score again. Fair call, but I presume one of the players to drop out would be...

If we had Peter Jackson in our squad I'd consider Berrigan at hooker, but with Buttriss in the squad we have far more to gain from him in the centres. Hopefully he can unlock the potential of Ferguson on his outside and as RR and others have said, his experience/ability in defence on the right shoul...

Well, at least he's 100% clear on what is holding him back from becoming a great player! Fantastic talent who is always going to make a few errors, but if he can get the really dumb stuff out of his game (like dropping the ball cold and running into touch more often than an NFL wide receiver) then h...

I think the "class is permanent, form is temporary" theory still stands. People (like me) still have hopes a kick up the **** over the offseason is all he needs.

Seiffert82

Jeez they breed them well at Belmore these days.

Seiffert82

Yeah, I'm certainly not arguing against it - I'd just be surprised if he played more than a dozen games at Lang Park during his couple of years at Redcliffe and during state games. I guess the first Origin game transcends everything else though. It's probably the most fitting place for a statue.

Seiffert82

Under the current TV deal we will get the mandated minimum games on FTA. Add 1-5 if we are running 1st or 2nd all season. The system is broke. I'm surprised this debate has go on so long given how obvious that is by looking at the stats, not just for us. Correct. There is no way any impartial perso...

Harrison clearly played nowhere near his best in 2011. Based on what he is capable of I'd give him a 3/10. I certainly wouldn't say it was the worst season ever but his defence regressed to his worst days at the end of his time with the Tigers. Clearly he wasn't 100% fit but at times he also looked ...

How much footy did Beetson play at Lang Park? I know he's a QLD legend, but it would also be fitting for a statue of him at the SCG (even though we rarely play there any more). He's probably played at the cricket ground a hundred times including plenty of significant rep games and grand finals. You ...

Seiffert82

That's why West Basin is a decent option - although somebody in Canberra will always have a whinge about new stuff being built near the lake. It's bad enough trying to do anything to improve Manuka Oval.

Canberra Stadium is pretty much in the middle of a residential area now anyway.

I don't mind the jerseys, although the shade of green doesn't tickle my fancy as much as I'd like my fancy tickled But the socks... what is going on there? I've seen Bay56 sporting better attire and believe you me I've seen him sporting some dire attire. It just isn't something I can admire ...but ...

Seiffert82

I can see arguments for and against both systems. At the end of the day, either way you generally end up with the two teams in the best form in the Grand Final. If you finish top 2 in the the McIntyre system you're safe from elimination in week 1. If you finish 3rd or 4th and lose in week one after ...
