Incredibly, the Raiders are still the No. 1 attacking team. They've now not only scored more points than any other team, they've also scored more tries than any other team.

Agree. There is only one person to blame and that's Ricky who pretends to be an NRL coach!raiderskater wrote: ↑August 12, 2018, 5:25 pmI'm appalled that people still view Bateman as their favourite kicking/chew toy. Seriously. That guy never gives anything less than 100%. Not his fault he was chosen to receive the ball at a critical moment. He did what he could. He's put in a great deal more effort this year than some of our bigger names and he's earned his spot in the side.greeneyed wrote: ↑August 12, 2018, 4:00 pmAnd can someone please explain to me why Luke Bateman is considered a first grade player at this club?!Pigman wrote:I loved that play where on 4th tackle, deep in our own half, needing a try to win a game and the halfbacks move was to turn it back inside for Luke Bateman

If you think Bateman lost us the game today, you're an idiot.
We lost the game today because we played dumb, panicky, brainless football. Our attitude was garbage. We played the entire first half like the boys were already on the plane to Hawaii.
I've been trying to give Austin the benefit of the doubt but I can't anymore. His attitude was nothing short of disgusting today. Even Cotric looked disinterested at times and just...Leilua. Even Abbey caught the "dumb play" disease (though I thought he still had one or two good moments).
I can't even put together any more of an analysis because I'm just that mad. I thought about going on the field at full time and I thought about hanging around for GH Live but I have guests for dinner and I was so frozen through and mad that I just wanted out of there. I won't be able to make next week's game but I'm seriously considering not bothering with our last one, either. The boys clearly can't be bothered, so why should I?
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

Lets give it a go. 3 more loses by 2 points and we might just do it.

How stupid is this team? That is all
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
Why Murchie didn’t get on today has me stumped. It’s like Ricky wants to discourage our juniors from ever wanting to play FG for the Raiders. It’s unbelievable, I’m just in shock his attitude towards them.
The season is over, show some respect for the team next year and ensure Guler, Murchie, Knight and any other junior we think who has potential in future be picked.

Re: 2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
Who’s watched the presser? Poor Cotric, Stuart indirectly puts the blame on the defensive errors to Cotric’s inexperience. **** unbelievable. I’m calling it now, Cotric will leave the club by the end of next year.
Also this love for Wighton by Stuart has got to stop... seriously! Stuart, Wighton has let the you, us and the team down for his behaviour. Don’t use him as an excuse for poor performance of the team.
Just leave already, you self serving arrogant EDIT!

Re: 2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
But we have a horrible defence, bad attitude in games, poorly coached, poorly lead, no depth, a coach out of his league and the list goes on. Stuart can not take this team to next level so expect more of the same till at least 2020. We got no money for 2019 even after all the players we are losing. We can only buy 2 SL players. The Raiders Club is poorly managed from the top and the coach is simply out of his depth. ALSO I am sure we top a lot of the other stats too but the not so good stats. Basically we suck bad a few injuries and we have no depth.
We can’t even beat Tigers at home. Pathetic .... we will lose a lot of the players we have when 2020 comes along. I am sure they have had enough. Just 1 Finals appearance in 5 years we are a laughing stock of the NRL the way we continue to lose games like we do and for years now. BUT the Board thinks those results are ok. I am simply over it and I bleed green.
Stuart says during the week that the players must be accountable for their poor defence and yet we are down by 20 in the first 10-15 minutes. It’s not trust the players it’s him Stuart but he thinks he is always right, remember he read games better then any fan. Don’t forget he told the fans that the players stuck it to our faces aft they won a game at home...pffft. Rude arrogant prick.

Re: 2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
Despite the Master coach promising to fix their defensive deficiencies nothing changed. Today was one of their worst performances. The usual substandard defence but their attack was disjointed with too many selfish one-off runs, poor options on 4th and 5th tackles and the usual players making too many selfish plays. Nothing to suggest that 2019 will be any better!

So Hodgson didn’t come to presser isn’t he captain ?
Yeah Stuart doesn’t look to next year he just wants to save face and finish as high as he can like 9th and say ‘look how close we got...don’t worry it will come’ remember that line. Then it was poor players they are hurting but now it’s just blame the players and their defence.
Bottom line Stuart is out of his depth and should just resign but he is too arrogant and selfish to put the club and team first. We have loads of top players off contract 2020 and that’s when Stuart’s contract is up so I expect players will leave. Stuart just can not coach 1 Finals appearance in 5 years and that 2016 was because we had so many top players in form people fail to remember at the start of 2016 we where shocking. The team is loaded will talent to be a top 4 side but we bacscially have a low quality coach.

Agree 100%.

Re: 2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
Three tries in sin-bin period killed us: Stuart
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart said his side had to battle hard for an hour to try and undo the damage done in just seven minutes in his side's 22-20 loss to the Wests Tigers.
"It killed us, being 16-0 when Joey came back onto the field and for us to hang in there and get back into the game I thought was a really big effort," Stuart said. "I know I'm going to get the effort every week no matter what the situation that's why I enjoy coaching them because they're giving 100% at every moment.

As for the rest of the press conference. The Tigers defended a two point lead for 15 minutes. If we had that kind of ticker and put in that kind of effort few more times this year we'd still be alive in season 2018.
Re: 2018 Rd 22 V Tigers: Game Day
I kind of understand the Cotric comments given with 12 men directing the defense gets even tougher. I still wouldn't think it's fair to call out that as the reason we lost.

Anyway if much of the same happens next year with Stuart still at the helm, there will be walk outs and clubs will come sniffing around our top talent. Player agents are not stupid either, in Cotric’s case his value is rising each week and players of his Calibre are already being paid a lot more then him like Kalyan Ponga, Payne Haas, Jamayne Issako and Viliame Kikau. It’s natural that his agent would go looking for a better deal.
