Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

So I just sat through the Matt Johns Show to get about 20 seconds of talk about the Raiders.

Souths got more coverage in one episode of 360 than the Raiders have had in all the episodes of the key rugby league shows this season.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day

Panthers look like peak Raiders of the 90s. Absolute step above the opposition and could score at any time.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day

I love Fog and his kicking game, but Cleary just showed what an elite halfback should be able to do. Andrew Johns-level skills. Fog just doesn’t have that kind of play in his repertoire, at least not to any consistent level. There’s usually only 0-2 guys at this level at halfback at any point in ti...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

I just noticed Shane Rattenbury advertises on the ACT Parliament member page that he was an inaugural member of the GWS Giants for Canberra.

He probably said he’ll support Andrew Barr to hold onto power if he builds him a tram and also gives $53 million to GWS.

PTB speed is a pretty rubbery stat and there is not much consistency at all week to week from players (see Guler vs Saulo last week for example).

We are going alright when the hot argument is over a 20 minute bench role. Guler had 48 minutes today according to NRL.com That was more than any other front rower other than Tapine.

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Barr has been talking about a new stadium for well over a decade. So much talk about city infrastructure so little delivered. He’s building an $800 million dollar 1.7km extension of Light Rail to Commonwealth Park. That is not a wise investment decision. That money could build a very good stadium.

3 Fog. For controlling the game and structure
2 Hoskling. For such great play.
1 Strange. For some real points of difference.

Have to say Levi was pretty good again.

Kris and Timoko a real threat in the centres.

Considering Fox predicted Savage at fullback, Strange in the centres and Weekes at 5/8th just before the round 1 teams were released, I wouldn’t put too much effort overthinking Ricky’s selection decisions or non decisions.
