Tell me CRad... have you ever been critical of a politican? any sporting coach? a teacher? a doctor? an architect? any athlete of any kind? Any professional that you're not absolutely qualified to do the job of?
Or is it just the HC of the Canberra Raiders who gets the protection of "You cant do better, so you dont get to have an opinion"?
Haha but wait, I will hedge!

I reckon we win all three and either donkeys or eels drop 2 or all of their last games. Next week eels v donkeys, donkeys got smashed last night n eels have dogs today. Dogs did smash the eels early this year. Eels have donkeys next week n then Melbourne.We’re in with a chance pending we win the remaining 3, personally I would like to see the donkeys knocked out of the top 8 to make room for us…. Their points differential we can catchInFernos_Raiders wrote: ↑August 20, 2022, 2:59 am We need the Roosters to drop2/3 games or Broncos lose their last 2 games.
Still we must win our 3 games Knights A, Manly H, Tigers A.
Yet again it comes down to those games we just keep losing when we are 20 in front with 20 to go and end up losing by 20.
Nor finding an extra gear under pressure.
We should never have been in a position to lose those games against the Warriors and Dragons, but it is a joke to be dudded twice like that in a season.CRaid wrote:Always the negative one.Azza wrote: ↑August 19, 2022, 11:35 amChrist, do you always have to act so butthurt?

I think I prefer the scenario portrayed by Raider Azz which gives me hope, at the very least. However, let it not be me to suggest how to get your kicks.
Here are some other stats that you can rejoice if your negative opinion bears fruit.
We’ve only lost two games against sides in the bottom 8. Those two games were the refereeing disasters, that the referees boss “apologised” for against the Warriors and the Dragons. Let’s hope that form continues; I’m thinking you dont. And yes, I agree we should have won some of those games by bigger margins. Had we been one of the “favoured clubs” I’m sure we would have.
We’ve won 5 of the 11 games against sides currently in the top 8.
After Rnd 22 we’re on 2 more points that the whole of last season. Consider that we’ve played without the spine we trained for in our pre-season.
Many couch coaches on this forum. I’d bet none could have done better than our current coach.
It reminds me of something Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson once said when judging Australian Idol. One of the singers got a negative review from him, and she says “I’d like to see you come up here and sing it better!” Dicko’s reply was “I don’t need to be able to sing it better to know that you sang it badly”.

It’s the same with footy, or anything in life really. You don’t have to be able to do something better to know someone else is doing it poorly. Are the Wests Tigers a bad footy team? Yes. Could I play any better? He’ll no. Doesn’t mean I can’t judge their performances.
Cmon Bot, there’s a 20min siesta built into the dna.
100% agree with you Sticky. Now as the bloke charged with getting positive results for the Raiders, can you motivate our players to make it happen please? The Panthers have shown this round that a strong defensive side can win, even without their two best play makers. D is key for me. Papa said you have some new ideas from your couch watching. I'll settle for one new trick shot this weekend even if the execution is not perfect. Souths showed some innovation with wide chain passing to get outside the Panthers defensive line and it worked a couple of times. The Broncos tried an early kick for their speed men out wide and it looked promising.

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says Sunday’s clash with Newcastle could be a classic example of a team under pressure finding an extra gear.
"We don't want to be the club that cops a sting from a club in a little bit of a difficult situation," he said. "We've got to be very professional and diligent, get into the game and play for 80 minutes at a high standard."

Three more years, three more years!!
Disagree with this to a point. Our discipline needs to improve, 100%. But our defence isn’t too bad as a system, it’s where we do our defence that’s the big issue, and that relies on discipline (errors/penalties) and our attack, ie, where and when we hand over possession. For instance:Seiffert82 wrote: ↑August 20, 2022, 12:22 pmPeople constantly bang on about our poor attack, but defence is definitely the key.RedRaider wrote:100% agree with you Sticky.

No team gets a 30 point winning margin when they concede 20.
We won't improve our attack until our discipline in defence improves.

That's a fair point, although it's also worth acknowledging that 'Dicko' was hired for entertainment value and ratings. It's doubtful that his comments and the way he delivered them actually helped anybody improve their singing. In fact, he probably caused long-lasting emotional distress to many of the contestants and their family and friends. I wouldn't view him as an example to follow.Finchy wrote: ↑August 20, 2022, 8:45 am It reminds me of something Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson once said when judging Australian Idol.
