VIDEO: Five key match-ups of the Raiders' revised 2020 draw. NRL.com takes a look at some of the key match-ups for the Canberra Raiders in the 2020 NRL season: https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/05/21/fiv ... 2020-draw/
Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
I like the draw, an "easy" run home. While the three week period against storm, roosters and souths will undoubtedly be very tough, It also excites me. Ricky will have the boys primed and ready and this period will really test and show where we are at as a team. Three block busters in a row against the other 3 best teams in comp will be huge.
On another note, Brandy on fox league live the other night was trying to say that playing at Campbell town would benefit the raiders Everyone else basically shot him down and questioned how he could see that it benefits the raiders in any way. Classic Brandy

Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
Just a guess, but i think the NRL wants to try and bubble the competition as much as they can. And whilst there is no reason we cant play out of bruce, the same is true for Penrith and their park, and newcastle, and the dragons and the Sharks and on and on... So at some point if you want to bubble the competition to some extent, then you've got to start knocking out stadiums, and those that would go first would be ones like Penrith, Newcastle and unfortunately Canberra where there is a reasonably convenient alternate stadium that is also accessible to multiple other clubs.
Now i dont know if it's the right call to want to bubble the competition, i dont know enough about this (you may given your profession) to know if limiting the clubs to 4-5 stadiums and bubbling it in this way is actually helpful in terms of trace contact control, spread etc?... does it make a difference? I dont know, but its clear to me that the NRL want to bubble the competition as much as feasible.

Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
We may have got stuff all Ch 9 matches, but I see Nick Politis has the **** with the draw so that makes me happy.
Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
It is not that we can’t for health reasons. It is the NRL are trying to reduce the number of venues.
Townsville and Melbourne are included because otherwise those teams need to fly for home games. That in itself would cause a problem because I don’t know if there are enough planes. In Round 2 the plane we flew to Gold Coast also went to Melbourne and then Sydney ferrying the Storm before coming back to the Gold Coast to pick up the Raiders. It then went back to Sydney to fly the storm home.
Not sure if the resumption is based on the chartering of one plane.
Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
If I was a Raiders player, I am not sure I would be so disappointed about playing at Campbelltown. Think about it, these guys are basically in house arrest outside of training. They go to training, then are required to come home. They are not allowed to go anywhere than the shops and even that is discouraged, they can't have visitors in their home. No going to cafes before or after training.
I am sure the return bus trips from Sydney will not a be dry argument. They will have a few beers and crank up the music and probably have the best social time they can have. For those venues where the players all drive their private vehicles to the game, presumably, win, lose or draw they just jump in the car back home to only socialise with those they live with.
I just hope now that we have gone 16 days in Canberra with no cases, and many other states are having very low rates, that things will start to get closer to normal and in a couple of months the only bubbles we will be talking about will be the celebratory drinks after we win the GF with all the Raiders fans there to see it.

Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
Except that for the Grand Final replay, the Raiders get a 5 day turn around after playing the Storm while the Chooks get a full 7 days.

Re: Canberra Raiders 2020 revised draw
Ricky Stuart has said today that the club is working on having accommodation for the team at Campbelltown for home games. Hopefully, that will help the club deal with the travel burden. Worryingly, Stuart said that he's not confident that the NRL will allow the Raiders to play their home games in Canberra after Round 9.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart slams Channel 9 following shocking Green Machine snub
A furious Ricky Stuart went to war with Channel Nine on Thursday on his team’s FTA TV cover.
But in a small win for the Raiders, the NRL has now agreed to fly them on a chartered flight direct to Bankstown Airport for so-called “home” games at Campbelltown. The NRL refused to allow the Raiders to stay overnight in accommodation at Campbelltown.

I hope this BS gives us a siege mentality. And, when we are slaying I hope that we give a big FU to channel nine. Like when they send the lackies for those half time walk off interviews or full time interviews, our boys say something about nine and their BS treatment so it goes live to air.
FU channel 9 and FU to this abdo bloke. I hope you don’t get the CEO job because your fluffy BS response to why last year’s grand finalists are only on FTA 3 times and we can’t play at home, makes you as big a **** as the bloke whose job you took.

The costs associated are the construction of temporary ‘green’ zones at stadiums to process arriving players, installation of tv and broadcast equipment, travel/accomodation of teams etc.
For instance, if there are only 3 stadiums in Sydney, they can feasibly construct a green zone, install cameras and store broadcast equipment at each location and leave it constructed full time. If they spread that allocation to 5 venues, they would need to deconstruct and reinstall over the course of a weekend, driving up costs.
Now to spread outside of the Sydney bubble, the costs associated with transportation of equipment and support staff to Canberra to install and manage all of these ancillary items was obviously balanced to be MORE expensive than shipping the team to Campbeltown each week. It’s a short flight or cheap bus trip. Balance that to Melbourne or Townsville, and the cost of shipping the teams around was likely MORE expensive than the installation of local assets in place.
I think it’s purely down to dollars.

It's not a matter of being a biosecurity expert. It's just pointing out some inconsistencies in this arrangement. If it was all about biosecurity, we'd be doing something similar to what the AFL and A-League will be doing.
