I love havili, but that games on him. The coach, captain and leadership team need to tear him a new one this week. Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse mobile app powered by Tapatalk Sezer gets tackled on the 4th and it's Havilis fault for having a crack That'll do me.. Harvili has no track rec...

Just got back from the game. If Austin wants to know what game management is; 1.don't take 2 when U are one man up and 5 mins out from HT 2. when U are up by 10 pts don't keep the ball in play when time is running down 3. don't let a novice take a FG attempt when U are 6 up and there is only 5 mins ...

I hope the "centre of excellence" contains sufficient space for a psychology unit!

Green Taipan

Penrith is a huge jump in class and the only mitigating factor is SOO. Garvey has to replace Hingano who is either used as the starting #7 or dropped. It's cruel but Sezer's last 2 games at 7 have been shockers apart from the famous FG. I can't see him steering the side home against Penrith so eithe...

Always good to get a win over Manly, and to finally nab a close one was a nice change. Watching it on Friday morning here is the UK definitely put a spring in the step to start the weekend! That said, Stuart's press conference really annoyed me when I watched it this morn. The reality is we made AL...

Green Taipan

Still don’t under understand how we got up but quite frankly don’t care.... Forward pass or not **** manly, they had plenty of calls go there way. Cotric NSW Whitehead had a mare of a game but can more then be excused considering how considering how consistent he’s been. Still too many errors. Paps...

Green Taipan

Great gutsy win against the odds. I admit with 3 mins to go I starting walking home as the Raiders were trying to do everything to lose the game. I have to say even though Sezer kicked a FG (wow) to win the game, his performance overall was very ordinary!

Green Taipan

It's hard enough to win any game in the NRL but when your coach deliberately doesn't select the best available 17 it is just that much harder! The stink of defeatism permeates this side. They are so accustom to falling apart in the last 20 mins that it has become a self-fulling prophecy. I'll be out...

Green Taipan

I see that Ricky has given this week's team selection the usual rigorous assessment and came up with the same side that continually loses to any half-competent opposition. The definition of insanity is ..... I'll probably drag myself away from Fri drinks at the Belco Labor Club but only out of loyal...

Before the St G game I wrote that there needed to be a shake-up to shock the side out of their complacency and lethargy. Some posters responded that changes would upset combinations etc. Well there weren't too many "combination" on display last Sun (or most of the season) particularly late...

Green Taipan

I just re-watched the alleged illegal block on Cotric when he kicked ahead. The StG player legally held his ground and Cotric had to run around him. No comparison to what Rapana did, he changed his line to obstruct and grabbed at the StG winger. Dumb play since Wighton had it covered.

Raiderskater i am with you here I am so over the bashing of our team by so called fans. Those that think the refs have been great and should not be criticized are worse than Greenberg and co. And all of you saying the team arent putting in how many games have you got off your butt and gotten to? Ar...

Green Taipan

Both halves need to be shown the door. It!s so frustrating watching this team particularly with those two serving up **** each week. The halves are only the symptom, the cause is a clueless coach. As long as he's there the club will not rise above mediocrity. Beats me how the Club increased members...

Green Taipan

A hopeless side. They got gifted the ball in the last few minutes when the game was on the line but had no plan, no concentration, no structure and no idea. The Raiders' game is all about ad hoc play, no structure or set plays. **** does Ricky do between games? Again we took a penalty goal instead o...

Green Taipan

How come Austin suddenly finds this robustness in defence when it has been missing for the last couple of seasons?

Did Ricky not learn anything at the start of the year playing halves at hooker. I know it might not have made a difference in the result but why isn't Garvey at 14 with how he is playing at reggies. In all seriousness this so called coach has effectively cost the team 4 competition points and possi...

Green Taipan

As expected no changes Austin names with S Williams on standby. Stuart simply refuses to drop players and give any Mounties a go. Raiders play away at the Dragons and OMG we will be spanked 'again'. Stuart seems to think if he keeps putting out the same team each week things will change. He must re...

Green Taipan

A shake-up in players positions and some new blood to add some spark. Raiders were utter rubbish for 60 mins of last night's game. Insipid, listless and directionless display punctured by a couple of good individual performances. Basically, what one expects with a clueless coach bereft of ideas.

Green Taipan

"I feel sorry for Ata because I've been training him as a utility nine player and he hasn't done a lot of work in the halves with us , it's probably my fault." What the hell Ricky! If Sezer or Austin goes down, as happened, there is NOONE that has trained there to fill in? Or Whitehead tr...

Green Taipan

We have some great players in this squad but unfortunately it’s just not working. We need to rebuild the club and unfortunately anyone who is off contract for next year has to be told there not needed. This includes Paulo, Austin, Sezer and I hate to say it, Papilii. We need to draw the line in the...

Green Taipan

Even though the Sharks had half their regular team out we failed the test; we are not top 8 material. Our kicking game was abysmal; Sezer was almost the best player for the Sharks. I think it was a mistake to go for the two 10 mins out from HT. The Sharks were rattled and in the first half the Raide...

But with the (slight) majority crowd as ango-saxon Australians of British descent- who share Saxon heritage ("Germans" who followed Norse gods and were culturally more connected to the Danes than any other part of Europe), Viking (the Northern half of England which was ruled by the Viking...

Green Taipan

No matter what reason Ricky has conjured up to play Hingano as backup dummy half it is not going to work against the Sharks/Dragons etc. The Raider's don't have the luxury of playing a "trainee on work experience" in this vital position. We need to have the best available 17 selected every...

Green Taipan

A win but far from convincing. Still can't concentrate for 80 mins.

Green Taipan

Finally, Ricky learns how to manage his bench. I still think there are some better players in NSW Cup and there are players who would excel in other positions. However, at the end of the night, the Raiders won so congrats to Ricky and the team. Lets hope Ricky takes the right insight from this game!

Green Taipan

I'm astounded at the turn around but if Ricky thinks this is a season turn around he better have another think. The Cows were awful!

Green Taipan

They are still not coming up in defence. Ceding 10 mtrs to the opp almost every time.

Green Taipan

Who will stay and who will go ?? Off Contract 2018: (I believe Austin, Paulo, Pappa, Dakuwaqa, Garvey will probably go) Blake Austin Luke Bateman Shannon Boyd Masivesi Dakuwaqa Craig Garvey Siliva Havili Dunamis Lui Michael Oldfield Josh Papalii Junior Paulo Aidan Sezer Iosia Soliola Austin has to ...

Green Taipan

A team selected to fail! Like all Raiders supporters I want them to win, if for no other reason than everything is rosy for at least the next week. However, the coach is more concerned with proving his infallibility or more aptly his inflexibility.

Green Taipan

Ricky seems to be set on deliberately sabotaging the club like it is claimed he did with Para. Only blind and deaf Freddy could pick Blake (what's defence) Austin in any NRL side. There are at least 2 others who shouldn't be in the side and another 2 who are araldited in the wrong positions.

Green Taipan

Tumorlolo is going to run over Austin for fun. They'll be lining up off JTs hip..my turn for a hit up..where's Blake Austin ? I can just see Stuart's plan now. It'll be a smokescreen with Austin on the extended squad. And then game day, he plays! Then the Cowboys wouldn't plan to run at him. You ca...

Green Taipan

Hivali needs to play big minutes, even if at some stage he moves to lock to accommodate Hodgson when he comes back, but is surely fit enough for 80 now I understand that he might have been hot and exhausted and needed a spell yesterday, but did he really need to come off for 50 minutes? Surely twen...

Green Taipan

There are always going to be times during matches when the Raiders do not have much possession. Opposition sides will always target halves and in particular a weak defensive half like Austin. Left shoulder or right shoulder it made no difference he didn't use either. BJ refuses to come in and help ...
