Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I'm sure many have seen the introduction of Savage as being a big factor in our turnaround. I can appreciate that, but at this stage he subtracts as much as he adds to our performances. The two halves of the Warriors game couldn't provide a more stark example. Not death riding the kid. Just pointin...

Re: Kelly Egan announces departure from Raiders
I get the sense from his message that he and his family have had to leave Canberra to return "home" for personal reasons.
Maybe a family illness or similar.
Could be wrong.

Re: Canberra Raiders extend Ricky Stuart's contract to end 2025
My take is as follows. I made the mistake of venturing momentarily onto the FB page and yikes there are plenty of people ecstatic at this signing. I think most people like the idea that the coach is a club legend and "one of us" and a loyal Canberran, and that is more important than specif...

Re: 2022 Canberra Raiders injury/suspension update
Olam wasn't a conventional shoulder charge, he was saving a try and didn't put Schiller's head at any risk of a knock. It's a contact sport - things like that will happen and a bit of discretion needs to be applied. Was he meant to give Schiller a saloon passage to the line? We had a very similar o...

How can a player impede if he hasn't moved his feet? Very bizarre that people would defend Klein on that call. I agree. 100% the spirit of the rule should be based on a player moving position to get in the way. If the attacker runs at a stationary player who isn't offside and gets impeded then toug...

Re: 2022 Rd 8 V Warriors: Game Day
Well in the NHL the embellishing player goes to the penalty box for 2 minutes (or until a goal is scored). It usually gets called when a player takes an obvious dive. It's a bit harder to call for refs in the NRL given the Lodge situation. The Bunker could make a judgement call based on the video? N...

Re: 2022 Rd 8 V Warriors: Game Day
"Embellishment" is called in the NHL, a similarly "violent" sport, so why can't we do it here?
As has been suggested, if a player is "alleging" injury from contact to the head, it should be an automatic HIA.
