Re: NRL 360

NRL360 is just a bunch of old drunks arguing about nothing. If I want to see that I’ll go down my local pub at 10am on a weekday. It’s embarrassing stuff, really. Agreed.

In fact, last year my favourite Raiders game was the one NSW Cup game I saw towards the end of the year, I loved it!

Can we get back to the hard hitting analysis like; We should have good attack and defence at the same time. On second thought we actually shouldn't put that on an open forum or some of the other NRL coaches might cotton on to it. Frankly, it would just be nice if our own head coach picked up the ti...

2017 and 2018 we were an amazing attacking team and missed the 8, because our defence was rubbish.
