The Greenhouse

Someone mentioned vaughan had played 2nd row in 20's before I think, can you tell me, was he a busy player, did he get lots of minutes etc? Actually tempted to bring him into my fantasy team as a sneaky point of difference.

Archer

Firstly, you're spending much too much time on Reddit. I suspect that many clubs actually run this way. There is a 'head coach' but in reality the team of coaches (head coach and assistants) work far more in partnership than it may appear in the media. I don't ever read Reddit so i don't understand...

Archer

:S It wasn't meant to be entirely about a coach, i just thought that was a good starting point. Another example, let's employ a full time marketing executive (apologies if we already have one). First job, could be looking into how we can get our games broadcast in China or other markets (India perha...

Archer

With Dave Furner now sacked, and the club looking for a new coach, plenty of people are talking about a fresh start. Without derailing the thread into yet another argument about who should or shouldn't be following Dave out the door, i thought we could spitball innovative ideas for this fresh start....

Archer

Why is it, this team of ours often runs one out forward hit ups, it infuriates me to no end. I remember rd14 this year, we were playing the Panthers, and our whole pack seemed to find this variation in their game that i'd never seen before. Suddenly we had forwards taking the line on in pairs, putti...

Archer

Thanks all, this was the sort of info i'm after, his attitude in defence really. As someone else pointed out in a discussion between McCrone and Williams, stats can sometimes be misleading so its tough to judge a player by that. I think as long as they have the right attitude, go in agressive to tac...

Archer

Personally I'd like to see something more like this next year depending on availability obviously (as some won't be here and some will guaranteed be injured) 1 - Milford 2 - Ahearn (He could be eased into FG this way in prep for 2015) 3 - Croker 4 - Ferguson 5 - Lee 6 - Wighton 7 - Cornish 8 - Shill...

Archer

But what is Cornish like defensively? Ive heard he has all the right skills in attack, ive just never heard him talked about in defence. Could you compare him to a current nrl half as a point of refference for those who don't get to see him please?

Archer

So, after watching Williams, and having seen the efforts of Campese since he has returned from injury, I'm now of the opinion that i can't stand to see a defensively weak half in the Green anymore. I know a lot of teams carry them, and i don't expect a Fensom with the playmaking abilities of Cronk/T...

Archer

It's sad to see Joel go, and he will definitely be missed. One of the things i like most about JT is his attitude, you can honestly tell he hates to lose. Not only that, but he seems to put in off the field, sticking round to see fans after a game, or helping out under privileged kids etc. It's funn...

Archer

Personally, I'd like to see Wighton given a run a 5/8 with RR or Sami slotting onto his wing. I don't buy into the calls that Croker isn't a center. To me he seems like the type of player who likes to play percentage football, and often tends to cut back in and hold it rather than risking a pass. Ho...

Archer

Arghhh. I've just moved to the UK and these early games are killing me. The storm game meant I had to be up at 5... and a domestic in the street by my window bumped that to 4am instead. Top it all off with that performance and the fact it was too early to start drinking.... God I hope we get a win t...

Archer

Absolutley freaking out at the prospect of Sheck destroying us... Lets hope not, hopefully he does just well enough to take the interest of Broncos... heard they are chasing a FB

Archer

Dunemann would be good for the Cowboys if he got the job. Being greedy, i hope we keep him, however he did a great Job with the Pride and wouldn't be out of place in head coaching role. Good luck to him if he gets it, might even see a bit more of the NQ talent actually playing for the cowboys if so....

Archer

Ignore me, we have moved on. I'll climb down off my soap box and get back in the cupboard..

Archer

Ill say it again, congratulations qld on the victory. It's just a shame that not one of them has the decency to say anything like that back, they can only whinge about the refs and refuse to enjoy their victory. Honestly, most here are only seeing what you want to see in order to continue the ****....

Archer

Firstly: Well played NSW, i think with different halves, Fergo and Hayne in the team, that game MIGHT have had a different result. Your team played pretty well across the park with the backs doing a good job of scooting out around the ruck, and Farah guiding the team around nicely. As always your pa...

Archer

Thanks for the links fellas, but I've got to say this is the most excruciating way of watching a game of footy, clicking x's waiting for advertisements to disappear and then getting about 5 seconds of visual for every 10 minutes you miss. I even paid $30 some shonky company to get a feed and was di...

Archer

Just heard them talking at half time through the live stream. Sounds like Thompson has an issue and Milford is ok

Archer

Good enough for germ is good enough for me. Throw him in NRL this week! No but seriously sounds promising.
Ps: throw him in this week...

Archer

Just started travelling around eastern Europe so I've only just been able to sit down and watch the game. The biggest thing that stood out to me was the variety our forwards used in their hit-ups. Whoever has been working with them recently deserves a big pat on the back. Maybe i just noticed it mor...

Archer

Yeah, all his little runs add up but it's not so obvious from just watching the game.. it's one of the reasons why I like checking out the game stats - can see who's putting in the extra efforts, which sometimes doesnt get noticed. I gotta admit, there's sometimes when I finish watching a game thin...

Archer

To be honest, i think the biggest factor in the decision of who plays in our 9, should be Campo. As someone who played hooker all of their junior footy (i know its only juniors) it's a hell of a lot easier playing in a team that's on the front foot from a strong kicking game with clear leadership an...

Robbo -3
Fensom -3

Without repeating everything that has most likely already been said (only just got back from the game so i haven't read it) but that performance was disgusting. The drop balls, horrible hospital passes and getting completely dominated in the ruck is one thing, but it honestly feels like a loss doesn...

Archer

Pretty hot out here in.the.sun. Blew up one of the giant hands.... Need more amber fluids.... Dying here

Archer

So got ma tickets from the gate no pubs means I'll be heading to the bar first thing but IM also row 18 seat 25 and 26. Come.say hello

Archer

Is there no pubs at robina central?? Thats where i was planning to head, dont know if there is though. Will do a quick google now as we are almost at the station

Archer

I'm hoping to catch the train with a mate and be at Robina anytime between 10-10:30 to get a quick one or 4 in before the 20's. Love to meet a few of you guys so if anyone is in the area at that time, or possibly at the stadium bar.. I'll jump on here on the way in and see what the general consensus...

Archer

Put me down for Breakfast beers, managed to convince a mate to tag along as well, don't think he's far from becoming a fully fledged convert. I only just found out the game falls on st Pattys day too, so we shouldn't be the only folks in green starting early. If you decide on a venue PM me (ill be c...

AUDIO: Canberra Raiders CEO Don Furner talks about the ASADA briefing

Click here

Not sure if anyone's had a listen yet, pretty interesting listening, draw your own conclusions I guess. I feel happier.

Archer

Count me in. Much rather sit with you lot, going through the usual process of trying to convince someone to keep me company has lost its charm. Who know's i might even start posting more afterwards... or i'll return to lurking.

THIS, take club or state rivalry out of it, the above sums up just how much of a joke this decision was.
