So if Fog decides he wants to play until 34, 35, 36… what happens in those years if we’ve told him he’s a “Raider for Life”? This isn’t bush footy. Emotions shouldn’t have any place in the decision-making process. Umm you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Raider for life as both a player and ...

BJ

Ha ha Storm once again moving well off the mark and then dropping the ball. Justice.

BJ

Trey has a medium term opportunity to take over from Papa. That’s a great long term place to be in for a young developing Prop with your career in front of you.

Imagine having Taps as your front row partner. What an awesome pairing they could become.

BJ

How do Storm for so many years get to step so far sideways off the mark and put their marker out of play.

Talk about something that should have been on the Refs tip sheet for over a decade.

BJ

Who’s the ref in the Storm Bulldogs game? He’s had the defensive line back 15 meters sometimes, then 11 meters the next.

Redemption story opportunity! We haven't had a good one since Todd Carney was changing car tyres.

BJ

Cotric I presume would be a low tier offer.

I personally think Cotric needs to reinvent himself as a second rower. He’s just too slow for a modern day winger and seems unable to get himself into space.

BJ

For the record. According to NRL it wasn’t a formal Raiders complaint about the incident but was immediately flagged by a grounds official and put in the match report.

I think Buzz tried to whip it up as just another Ricky Stuart whinge in his weekly buzz wrap.

BJ

Some rule changes such as the corner post they got absolutely right.

Some other interpretation changes maybe not so good.

That stupid cloud in the sky looks like Ben Cummins waving 6 again.

BJ

Key point Morgan Smithies made about him being out of the limelight and able to focus on his football. Canberra is a great place to develop your game early in your career without the external distractions and without an insatiable media blowing smoke up your **** one minute and then tearing you down...

Sivo was off balance too. So it was more spectacular than it really was.
I'll let Ata know.

He already knows [emoji846]

It would be interesting to know the scenario for these missed tackles as I can’t remember any clear try causes. There’s probably some defensive areas he can improve on, but I’ve noticed he likes to get himself to marker on the fifth tackle and run hard towards the opposition kicker and he then gets ...

BJ

Sundays squad will be very disappointing for some on the Greenhouse who like to follow Team List Tuesday with Team Whinge Wednesday.

BJ

I can’t tell if Purtell was our quickest winger as the stopwatch did a full lap of the clock before he finished the 100.

BJ

We better lock him up before Roosters go after him. Surely a young half wants to avoid Roosters after the way they’ve treated some of their past halves. I wouldn’t want that spotlight and performance pressure that early in my career. Develop your skills and reap the benefits long term at a place wh...

BJ

I kinds felt those guys you mentioned had either already played a bit of first grade or were a bigger known quantity than Sanders. But certainly you guys provide some very good examples, it would be interesting to know what their salaries were to change clubs. Would any have been $700k salary cap pr...

BJ

Can someone help answer a question, as I genuinely can’t think of one.

When has paying big money for a completely untested young half from another NRL club worked?

Usually thee guys come on lower money, with a clear pathway to first grade and a ratchet contract.

BJ

So no arguments that the Dylan Brown thing is madness, but in terms of Raiders ratings, the ABC call team had Morgan Smithies the best raider on the ground by quite a distance. It was Timoko and Strange getting the 2 and 1 behind him I think I recall. Not saying Timoko didn’t have a blinder or that...

BJ

Yes Souths talk.

BJ

Another episode of 360 waiting for some Raiders chat after an impressive win. But 30 minutes of Raiders talk and the rest on other Sydney teams.

Yes.

But he said on radio he’s a Sharks supporter.

Erm, I don’t think Leipana were given much (if any) coaching license, they just took it! Ricky has a pretty good track record tightening up a loose player with attacking flair, but not a good record in expanding the attack of a limited player. I think Leluia probably said as much recently, and both...

BJ

Yeah Levi was better than a 6. Started a number of our breaks by squaring up the defence out of dummy half, continues to back up our line breaks through the middle and took the right option many times, especially the dummy half scoot around an offside marker on the blind side. I’ve previously been o...

Just watching the game again… the early disallowed try for Schiller… the pass was called forward. But there was no way it was forward. I was in line and I did not think so live either. The referees we generally get allocated really aren’t up to the mark. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk There were ...

Keith Barnes has died aged 89. Fitting. That 89 number killed so many great Balmain players. In all honesty, a great player, great administrator and a sad loss for the rugby league community. BTW I like how the 1989 Grand Final is now being shared and recognised amongst the players of both teams. B...

BJ

Hudson pass to Savage was perfect too. He threw it quickly at the hole for Xavier to run into.

BJ

Yep. One judge rated Dylan Brown above Timoko last night.

Probably also thinks Glenn McGrath was a better bat than Don Bradman.

Or the most likely scenario is Timoko’s name got buried at the bottom of the hat when he pulled the names out.

BJ

Funny how last year raiders would get beat by just a few points and not get a single Dally M point for a player, but we absolutely flog a team and their players get points??????

BJ

I’m scoring out of 10, Schiller a 8 as an attacking weapon and a 3 defensively.

Hopoate I can only give a 3 attacking and a 5 defensive.

BJ

Yes good work mentioning Fogs in game kicking. Not for goal though.

They couldn’t start a set well because of the high long kicks that gave our chasers time to stop any return momentum from Gutho or Sivo.

That little chip, chase and second kick showed game awareness and skill too.

BJ

Casey Badger is the best video ref. Not sure why she is always running the line while we have clowns like the idiot in NZ the other week stinking things up. She missed a blatant ball on the line earlier The old 4K OLED showed the ball touching blades of grass inside the line before the rest of the ...
