Most likely we concede a try and don't even get to golden point. That said the whole sequence was pretty disgraceful. Lodge faking injury. Bunker deciding it was a reportable offence and awarding a penalty.

Blow the NRL bunker up: Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has fired a broadside at the NRL - it's time to blow up the controversial bunker.
"Let the referee make his ruling because at the moment the bunker's getting it incorrect. They should only be there for a contentious try. The bunker is not assisting the referee and it's not helping our game. And the incorrect decision cost us two points last week."

Don't speak for me. I hate it when players fake injury to milk a penalty, whichever jersey they wear. It's made worse when the bunker gets conned. Crusher tackles are the worst examples. Players feel any kind of contact on the back of the head and the lay down holding their neck till ref calls time off.gergreg wrote: ↑May 5, 2022, 5:04 pmMeh, our players would have tried to milk it too, and most posters on this board would be calling it a 'heads up' play.Northern Raider wrote:Most likely we concede a try and don't even get to golden point.

Jarrod Croker's 300-game dream back on radar after recall
Jarrod Croker’s dream of playing 300 games for the Raiders is back on the table after the veteran centre was finally given a recall for the side’s clash against Canterbury on Friday night.
"I’m not a lightning 21-year-old again but I’ve been doing things in the gym I haven’t been able to do for two years. How long it is to stay that way no one really knows the answer to that but it’s certainly better than it’s felt for 18 months to two years. It's made a big difference.

"We know how loyal the fans are. I just hope we see them all there on Friday night with their Kathmandu's on because it's going to be a bit fresh. That's the way we like it. Once I saw the weather Friday it just got me even more excited. Canberra footy for me is Friday night freezing cold. I'm looking forward to it."

Re: 2022 Rd 9 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
The silver lining if Croker has lost a step will be he won’t be able to shoot out of the defensive line so dramatically. Glass half full stuff
Re: 2022 Rd 9 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Yep agreed. Now that He has publicly run down the Bunker how will that help this week and next week and the week after. The same petulance he once showed when in charge of a losing National team.TongueFTW wrote: ↑May 5, 2022, 1:10 pm Stuart's press conference today made me think he has lost the plot.
We did not lose the Warriors game due to "bunker interference". We lost the game because we gifted the Warriors easy tries, struggled with an inept attack, and built no pressure. We lost because we cannot string together a 60 minute, let alone 80 minute performance. Even after that bunker call, we still had the chance to win it in golden point and made yet another error.
This sort of lack of accountability has a huge impact on the players' mentality - professional sportspeople will take ANY excuse you give them to justify poor performance. The fact our head coach keeps pushing this narrative does not help the psyche of the players, and the club. It needs to stop.

He had a young side and wasn’t able to get them mentally tough like Storm etc we simply fold at any pressure AND yes when Stuart comes outs and blames the Bunker he takes any blame away from himself and the players. It’s always been like that he has NEVER accepted any accountability when we don’t win.

We lost last week's game because of Ricky's crap coaching and bench management.
The warriors were terrible and any team with a bit of go about them should of put 40 on them, not have to throw a tantrum about a bunker call cost us the game.
Rick... your time is up as head coach here

Absolutely. What happens when fatigue sets in? Concentration is lost and errors creep in. It is ludicrous that this idiot is leaving fresh legs on the bench. Stupidity.Neeeegz wrote: ↑May 5, 2022, 6:37 pm We lost last week's game because of Ricky's crap coaching and bench management.

Think that’s a bit rough. He zipped up when pineappled in a bloody GF. I also recall a different attitude in 2019, probably need a sports psych back if that’s what prompted it.InFernos_Raiders wrote: These fade outs have been apart of the team ever since Stuart started coaching the team.

Campaigning for removal of the bunker is emotional reactivity that epitomises the lack of critical thinking and analysis for the team. Yes the bunker stuffed up, but it’s the idiots inside them not the concept. Even in it’s crap state I’d still say the bunker corrects a lot more decisions than it buggers up, so returning to the on field ref is no net positive.
Most importantly, if you think we’re getting pineappled now with the bunker who has to run their process in slomo in view of everyone and face backlash when it’s wrong. Remind yourself what that looks like in a world where the decisions are snap (extra dose of unconscious bias) and everyone moves on quickly often without scrutiny.

If it doesn’t hurt anyone and it’s legal you do it. We’re here to win, not get a sticker for being tough.
Make the smart play and force the NRL to make it illegal. Don’t be at a disadvantage for the principle.

If we were playing like garbage - like the Warriors last week but still in with a chance to snatch it. You'd take it every day of the week. I hate the milking too, but I hate losing more.

Four word chat with Ricky Stuart ended Nick Cotric's Bulldogs nightmare
It took just four words from Ricky Stuart to convince powerhouse winger Nick Cotric to return to Canberra over the off season.
"Ricky called me late last year and he just said to me 'This is your home'," the 23-year-old said. "He said I grew up here and I belong here… I knew he was right. There were also personal reasons why I wanted to come back to Canberra and the Bulldogs were kind enough to release me.

To the excuse making guy today who can't get his team to respond. Coaches and teams have a shelf life. They aren't responding to Ricky anymore. He's taken them as far as he can and he's casting about for excuses and backlsiding as much as the team is.
