2023 Rd 5 v Panthers: Game Day

[Traider84]

To save face put Stuart in Gould type position to oversee the bullshitery and not sack him.
In comes Madge to make the hard calls

The real issue is once we offload the deadwood, which is most of the team, who are we actually bringing in? Who would want to sign for us that’s better than the crap we have?

[thedevilingreen]

Ricky needs to be sacked tonight.

End of discussion

Bra, you don’t have to say it on every page. We get it, you want Ricky sacked, tonight

Hush ricky the adults are talking

[GreenMachine]

Lol. Is your life going to be more complete if Croker plays 300? I don't get the obsession. If he's the right man for the job and it we can avoid triggering his 2024 contract then by all means select him.

Honestly, you’re right.
But what the Hell anymore…
It’s not as if we have someone else waiting in the wings ..or a plan to do something with the wasted cap space on Croker’s extension..
If it gives some people joy, why not?
Season is headed for misery..

Can't argue. Wonder if Lozza is keen to play 5 more for 250.

Let’s roll him out ….
I’m fact, are there any other Raiders legends near Milestones that are free on match day??

I think badge was close to 200

[Kryptonite]

They've won two premierships on the trot, leading by 35 points with one minute to go, and still rushing to pack a scrum.

And that’s the difference between plodding acceptance of mediocrity and a Proffesionalism of a well managed organisation

Gee we must be going badly if folks are begging for Croker’s reinstatement. Are peoples memories that short?

[Seiffert82]

Penrith made 10 errors in that game...and still scored 9 tries.

Think about that for a minute.

Great news! We need a fullback

I think we’re all in agreement there…

[Kryptonite]

No doubt we get on a run, compete four a top 8 spot, maybe even jag it via pure **** like last year, our for and against will anchor us , it’s cookie cutter mediocrity year in , year out, time to move Stick on

Inability to dish up attack with no creativity is our biggest issue.

It seems to me we cant put on 9 tries at training.

It sums up our issues..
We do nothing with the ball, yet still make errors…
Penrith throw the ball around and put 50 on us despite errors in their game today too…
We are coached to be a conservative set completion team…but we do absolutely nothing with that possession.
There was a stat published at the start of the season (I think in the Sydney Morning Herald) that showed we were last when it came to points per possession in the attacking 20..

In comes Madge to make the hard calls

Madge has just come from 4 years of failing to make the tough call on Luke Brooks

Madge has gone and they still aren't making that call. Makes you think Brooks has some dirt on the board members.

[GreenMachine]

And now my wife wants me to do housework. This night could not be any worse

I might just do the ironing

It was actually more enjoyable then that game we all just watched

It’s amazing what a 50 point hiding can do for your appetite for housework….
I was about to fire up my lawn mower, but I realised it was a little late for the noise

I think that memory has been erased by the more recent memories of HSS so far this year

Our players just ain’t good enough.

You don’t think leaking 53 points is our biggest issue?

Yep. Time for an old fashioned shake up...
Ricky being sacked would be a nice start

[The Greenhouse]

Apologies for the lack of live scores from the ground (again). Complete internet blackout at the ground from just before kick off (again). Perhaps it was better that way.

Yeah this. Getting flogged by Penrith isn’t the issue. The ineptitude in attack is. That’s on Stuart. It’s also on the most pedestrian player in the competition earning 500k to play in the halves as well imo.

[Mickey_Raider]

Ever since my old man took me to my first game at Bruce in 1998 I have loved this team. And I always will.

I largely support unsuccessful clubs across different codes so I am far from a bandwagoner.

But I find something particularly galling about a club that is mediocre and is not even trying to rectify it. In fact in the past they have indicated they are actively proud of it (Furner, 30 games etc)

I will always support this club but I absolutely do not hold it against anyone who disassociates themselves from the team during these times to spare themselves the hurt.

If the club don’t care then it is nothing short of masochistic to expect fans to turn up every week and care.

[mikeraider]

We're playing like a ship without a rudder, and when we have a rudder it doesn't matter you have to laugh or you would cry.

[Wiki Special]

I can't remember to many less creative sides in attack than what the Raiders 2023 look like.

We all would have had the same thoughts mid 2014.
We grew from there
Just trying to be optimistic

[Shiv]

Not sure if its been mentioned earlier - but at the game end, (after the last try) - did anyone notice Elliot laying down the law to the team - they stayed in a huddle and he was yelling and pointing at them. Not sure what it means - but it was interesting...

We're taking the whole North Korea thing a little far.

Enjoy yr weekend folks.

Forget that rabble we love.

Hug yr kids, walk the dog, spend time with people you love.

I’m done, very tired..later.

[Raider of d Lost Ark]

If the Tigers win, we will officially be 17th and last.

Probably deserve to be there too.

[CrabLord]

In the last 10 years the teams that have won premierships are the Cowboys, Roosters, Souths, Sharks, Storm and Penrith.

We blew it in 2016 and 2019, and now it is for certain all over. We are the one left standing without a chair from the last decade, everyone else good got to have it but us.

Penrith Panthers maul hapless Canberra Raiders as Jaeman Salmon has last laugh



It took the opening 10 minutes of the second half for the Canberra Raiders to lose last week - this week it took 13. You wouldn't have known there was just seven points in it at half-time, with the Penrith Panthers blowing the Green Machine away 53-12 at Canberra Stadium on Friday night.

To rub salt in the Raiders' wounds, Jaeman Salmon crashed over in the dying seconds of the game to bring up the Panthers' half century - having been at the centre of the "weak-gutted dog" controversy in the capital last year.

PENRITH PANTHERS 53 (Sunia Turuva 2, Izack Tago 2, Nathan Cleary, Zac Hosking, Tyrone Peachey, Stephen Crichton, Jaeman Salmon tries; Cleary 8 goals, field goal) bt CANBERRA RAIDERS 12 (Elliott Whitehead, Hudson Young tries; Jamal Fogarty 2 goals) at Canberra Stadium. Referee: Adam Gee. Crowd: 15,334.

Jaeman Salmon's sweet 'karma' after Raiders fans sledge Panthers over 'weak-gutted dog' drama

The biggest smiles of the night for Penrith came in the final minute when Jaeman Salmon put a bookend on last year's "weak-gutted dog" saga with an emphatic message to sledging fans at Canberra Stadium.

"I just said 'weak-gutted dog'. I think it was pretty obvious. Just a bit of fun," Salmon said. "It was good karma," Panthers coach Ivan Cleary said. "That's how I'd describe that."

Penrith Panthers pile on the points in rout of Canberra Raiders



The Panthers scored a point per minute in the second half to run out 53-12 winners over the Raiders on Friday night, in what was the biggest score put up by a team so far in 2023.

While you wouldn't have known it by watching the second half, the game was closely contested through the opening 40 minutes, and the Panthers led by just seven points after a Sunia Turuva double and a Nathan Cleary field goal.

What did he say? Panthers star gives Ricky return serve as Cleary declares it ‘good karma’



Panthers utility Jaeman Salmon has fanned the flames of his feud with Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, appearing to scream “weak-gutted dog” after scoring in the final minute of his team’s win.

Stuart wasn’t asked about the try in his post-game press conference, but Panthers coach Ivan Cleary did and said: “Good karma. That’s how I describe that.”

Woeful Raiders smashed 53-12 by Panthers

Reigning premiers Penrith have reminded the NRL of their championship credentials, smashing Canberra 53-12 to leave the Raiders’ season in serious early trouble. Doubles for winger Sunia Turuva and centre Izack Tago along with some Nathan Cleary magic ensured the Panthers were always in command at GIO Stadium, the visitors ultimately blowing the Raiders away with a six-try second-half barrage.

I know masochism well unfortunately.

4 years since the 6 again rule and Ricky still can't adapt.. outdated coach.. hire an optimistic one.
