Sydney Raiders fans, ABC Grandstand wants you

Post by Matt »

ABC Grandstand has put out a request:

"Are there any Canberra Raiders fans based in Sydney that can make it to the ABC Ultimo building this Thursday 12pm-1pm?

Please message the Grandstand Facebook page to get in touch."

ABC Grandstand Facebook link here: https://www.facebook.com/543188197/post ... 936483198/

I have posted it to the GH Facebook page too.

@Brew,

Cheers for the recon.

So, Grandstand are doing something they do with every NRL club called 'fan café' where they go Facebook live and record a one hour show with fans.

I wonder why they've suddenly decided to do the Raiders?

Yeah the mind boggles...

What has happened in the past few days that has prompted interest in that far away club no one cares about ?

Yep I’ll be on, there is another support confirmed not sure who.
I thought it was going to be a rant about the Refs and NRL but it isn’t...as far as I know.

No chance of me calling for Sticky’s Head. He has done so much for this club just needs a little luck.

I would be interested to know whether ABC Chief League expert Mathew Elliot thinks he got worse decisions from referees and/or less support from the NRL when he was Raiders coach ‘compared to other teams he coached’.

A few Ex players who played for both Raiders and other NRL teams told me they were 100% sure they got a worse deal from the refs when at the Raiders compared to the other NRL teams they played for.

I won’t give names, but two of them have actually captained the Raiders. Another had played for at least four teams and said he was shocked the way the refs treated the Raiders when he was there.

Ricky Stuart thinks the Raiders get treated differently, but it won’t hold any water unless others who have been at multiple clubs also hold this view.

I’m not having a go at you personally BJ, because this is a strong theme on the GH.... but I think this sentiment misses the point, and is ultimately somewhat futile? Even if it could be proved, what would/could be done about it?

All this thinking does is take the focus off all the things the Raiders do unprofessionally and at a lower level than other clubs in our competition.

There are many, many objective/measurable things in-house that should be addressed before we put our energy into investigating external, subjective factors that may or may not happen and are out of our control.

Elliot didn't exactly coach the high profile teams you'd expect to get better calls.

He does Rugby League the musical. I believe he also does online radio commentary for the Newtown Jets games (or maybe NSW Cup games in general).
