Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Heather, put me down for death-riding Souths.
Not so much because I want Jack to fail. Bit moreso because I want a team who made a suss signing to have it blow up in their face.
I am very glad they did though. They went against the old adage and interrupted the Raiders while they were making a mistake in offering Jack stupid money.
And no I don’t want to sign Fifita. Because of the circus. Too destabilising. Not worth it.

Jack Wighton can enjoy his time at the Rabbitohs as far as I’m concerned.

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Matt…it’s a 20M line in league not a 22
Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Not the same without the Pork.

I swear Tim Gavel still calls “midway half and 22…” then you hear the crowd roar “… and he’s scored right under the posts!”Velda wrote:Matt…it’s a 20M line in league not a 22
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.

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
It was always referred to as the '22' when I a kid.
Maybe it was because 22 yards is equal to 20 metres?

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
22 yards. 20 metres. Take your pick.
You may remember me from such forum usernames as hrundi99 and... hrundi99.
Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
It used to be the 25 yard line. Back then there was only half way and “quarter” way lines. There were markings for the kick off distance and distance from the sidelines for scrums and taps. Each half was up to 55 yards long. Then the 25 became the 22 when metric system was introduced in Australia. Then the 5 metre off side rule was extended to 10 metres, and sometime after that it changed so there were grids every 10 metres.

that sounds so bizarre phrased like thatgreeneyed wrote: Then the 25 became the 22 when metric system was introduced in Australia.
I presume that’s because they kept the length of the field imperial so the line marker at 25 ft was renamed 22m?
Weird to change the naming of the lines, but not length of the field?

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
The field became measured in metres, but effectively, they did not change the size of the field. 110 yard field translated to a 100 metre field.gangrenous wrote: ↑April 5, 2024, 7:15 pmthat sounds so bizarre phrased like thatgreeneyed wrote: Then the 25 became the 22 when metric system was introduced in Australia.

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Completely agree with Matt on reasons to be cheerful.
Like Matt I watched the game knowing the score, and I had the same rose coloured viewing of it. Taking away the anxiety of not scoring, you could see that 99% of things were there, and just didn’t tick across to 100% and get the points. I thought the team played well and dominated.
Here’s hoping we can get the Donkeys at home!

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Haven’t seen the game but the eye test website said based on team stats that game expected scoreline should have been about 32-8 to us
Taking into account the well publicised spoiling tactics and how poorly we’ve handled that in the past I can see the reason to be happy for the win and agree that this sort of win is just as valuable as learning opportunity as the eels game
There is a lot to be excited for this year, and much of it is what we’ve been asking and begging for years. Fresh young faces with high upside
There are some areas that need addressing and will hold us back long term if they’re not addressed but so far this season is giving the fans plenty to be excited for

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
Yeah, look at the game stats - it's incredible the Titan's even got close to winning that game. If we had lost that, it would have been ridiculous. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... 0608/stats

Re: Raiders Review with Blake and The Pork
I'm sure there was a game during that infamous 60 mins Raiders period where we dominated the **** out of the game, I'm talking every stat by plenty and still got run downFinchy wrote:Yeah, look at the game stats - it's incredible the Titan's even got close to winning that game.
