Re: 2022 merchandise range

The red on green blurs and gets lost. The less said about the one on the right the better. Only if you're colourblind, which to be fair a lot of guys are. That's probably why they haven't done it that way; if you put red on green a bunch of people will go close to mistaking it for a plain green jer...

Re: Canberra Raiders edge towards 80 per cent COVID vaccination rate

So with ACT at over 99% for first doses, statistically the Raiders squad has over 20x more unvaccinated players than the community they represent.

Bravo. Muppets.

If they're going to be unavailable for a significant number of games, we should do to them what was done to Kyrie Irving.

It's not like the placebo group are missing out on alternative medicines, though. Nothing else like this, as far as I know.

In that case, you try your luck in the trial, or you stay out of the trial and you're no better off than if you'd gotten a placebo.

On the plus side, it'll be the first time in about a decade we can buy jerseys that don't have Huawei on them.

If it is Toyota forklifts, at least they're relatively innocuous. In recent memory we have a history of controversial major sponsors that a lot of people wouldn't want on their clothing.
