Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day

I already said that. And as I also already said I probably agree with about 90% of the footy opinions that you throw up so i'd prefer not spend what promises to be a good footy season having a bitter back and forth on the 10%. I did really enjoy this footy season and not completely because we were w...

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Game Day

As I said before you can say it is nonsense, but maybe one day you'll step back and at least give some consideration to the fact that we're watching a sport with some pretty strong biases on and off the field. It's always been a political game in that sense, and I don't think it will be changing any...

Re: Canberra Raiders' Aidan Sezer again linked to Huddersfield Giants

Boy, if Williams goes onto $180k then Sezer was the most overpaid halfback in Rugby League history. Who cares what Sezer was on. He is done at our club everyone including himself knows it. The only concern the Raiders should have at the moment is how do we move 100% of his salary on. Again after ma...

I don't for a second think the officials were out to get us, or there is any conspiracy or anything. They reffed the game in front of them.

I know we played well, but I just can't be watching the replay to dissect it. I just can't. I've said for a long time that for the Raiders to win the comp, we probably had...

Re: 2019 Grand Final V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I wouldn't be suprised to see two multi positional players (e.g. a guy who can play centre and edge forward well, or a guy who plays both hooker and halves) start to be used on the bench by teams from next year onwards if they have them, given the increasing impact the HIA rules have had. Agree. Th...

Hodgo will be playing, no doubt about it. Be interesting to see if Havili is on the bench though, just between you and me smashed hat, he has a Steve Jackson try in him the way he bounces off tacklers.

I also don't see the negativity towards us. Just a lot of people correctly saying Goosters are favourites. They are. Who cares?
