[Off]

I love seeing that proud indigenous celebration when the big fella scores

It is pretty good to see and hopefully he will get across the line a couple of times this weekend

I wish they would leave him alone after scoring till he's finished it , then jump and carry on all over him

What Indigenous Round means for Canberra Raiders' Wiradjuri man Adam Elliott against the Parramatta Eels



Adam Elliott will be soaking up every second when he dons the Canberra Raiders Indigenous jersey on Sunday.

"I'm not thinking about contracts at all. I've got my little fella coming down, all my family coming, it's a really special weekend for me," Elliott said. "[Lenny's] only been to one game previously in Sydney. This is his first Raiders' game. It means a lot to me, it means a lot to my family."

Canberra Raiders' captain Jarrod Croker dislocates his shoulder again, ruling him out for anticipated Eels return

Another shoulder dislocation for the club's captain has left a solemn feeling around the Canberra Raiders camp.

"It was definitely sad news [on Wednesday] morning when I found out," Adam Elliott said. "We don't know the severity of it but we'll all be getting around him, supporting him and hoping that he's out there with us soon."

On Blake and the Pork, they suggested CHN is out and in Ricky's bad books due to him throwing a ball at a team mate that gave away a penalty in the Cronulla game?

Someone suggested it on The GH somewhere. I don’t think there’s any evidence it is correct.

They said he threw the ball at the sharks player that gave the penalty away. It was Briton Nikora CHN threw it at. 22:48 on the game clock in round 10. Whether that has anything to do with it who knows.

What a load of rubbish, much like their podcast.

Blake and the Pork has been great. Just losing its way a bit with too many characters.

I don’t think it did give a penalty away?

CHN and Nikora have also been teammates on the NZ sides and it looked like they were joking around after CHN thee the ball.

From memory, we won the penalty. I think it was a high shot or work on the ground from Nikora on CHN and CHN threw the ball at him after winning the penalty. We still got the penalty. That sounds like rubbish.

The ball throw didn't. Nikora gave away the penalty. CHN then threw the ball at him.

Having watched the video yesterday (which is why there's a timestamp in my comment) I agree it'd be pretty weird if that was the reason. But it didn't look friendly.

I guess Ricky has been in CHN's ear about improving his discipline (as many on the GH have identified as a CHN weakness)-Hors has managed to improve his and is going well. If seen in that context and not as a random decision it'd make sense.

Yep, I see this as about as controversial as the time Papa got dropped and came back to be one of the best forwards in the world.

CHN has all the potential in the world. He just needs to improve his consistency and efforts at times. I'm looking forward to his return.

A lot romanticising about CHN on here. Whilst I don’t agree with his dropping (especially for a certain part-time media celebrity/full-time plodder) - he’s a very ordinary defender and regularly a liability on the edge with his reads or his weak jumper-grabbing in the middle.

We all know how much Rick values the grindy stuff.

All the talk of him being a world beater will only eventuate if he gets that part of his game to at least an NRL-average level.

(No arguments here about his attacking prowess btw)

[papabear]

Kris and citric were far better defensively then timoko and rapana

Maybe moving kris to the right is a problem… just though it’s worth pointing out that kris has been playing very well lately..

Spot on. I’m a big Timoko fan but he had a dirty day defensively on Sunday. I’m interested to see how he responds this week

[Botman]

I dont think Timoko was THAT bad on the weekend. He had a couple of moments for sure, but he's got a lot of runs on the board defensively, including the week prior when Talakai had been decimating people all year long, and Timoko came out on top of that battle defensively despite the advantages with players and space the sharks had with all the sin bins

No I just think he had the typical off game you commonly get with a young player.

He was very soft in contact and his positioning wasn’t great - he had a bludger. As I said, I’m a fan and look forward to him bouncing back this week.

Re: Talakai - it’s one of the hardest centre assignments in football at the moment, huge feather in Timoko’s cap for coming out on top there

I've pointed out before but Cotric/Kris played years of junior footy (club, rep, school) together so they have a good understanding.

My mistake. Listening to that very late last night.

They said that someone had put it out there as a reason, but pork also said he considered it garbage.

Does seem the sort of **** someone would just make up... However CHN does also seem like the type who would get on a coaches bad side easily and it could escalate quickly

I didn’t know that - they did look very settled together…

Hopefully we see more of them together..

Jamal Fogarty fired up for Raiders debut







If there was ever doubt about the importance of Jamal Fogarty’s signing for Canberra, coach Ricky Stuart’s reaction to having the halfback ready to play after knee surgery should end it.

“I had a bit of a chat with Sticky (Stuart), I said ‘the team’s going really good and the combinations are going well, what do you want to do?'” Fogarty said. “He said he’ll put me straight in.”

The chats that had Jamal Fogarty ready for Canberra Raiders debut

A casual conversation with the Canberra Raiders physiotherapists told Jamal Fogarty he was ready.

"I probably thought next week would be the round that I'd be back and it just came off a conversation I had with the physios," Fogarty said. "I was just asking them last week on the way to Dubbo what kind of hoops do I have to jump through to be available for selection. And they said, 'You're pretty much ready to go.'"

Sebastian Kris wants to make his injured Canberra Raiders skipper Jarrod Croker proud

Sebastian Kris was gutted by Jarrod Croker's shoulder dislocation that's ruled him out of the Canberra Raiders' clash against the Parramatta Eels. But he's vowed to make his co-captain proud when he takes his place in the centres at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

"He gets everyone up and ready to go. I hate to see it, but at the same time I'll be sure to do my job and make him proud."

Heritage listed: Tapine's double dose of Indigenous Round pride

Having played against Jamal Fogarty and Adam Elliott on the All Stars stage in recent years, proud Maori Joseph Tapine can’t wait to run out alongside his fellow Raiders in the final game of Indigenous Round on Sunday.

“It’s been a big focus this week on playing for the Indigenous boys in our team and I’m looking forward to the emotion in the game,” said Tapine. “For me it’s all about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander guys this weekend because we are playing in Australia on their land. It’s about recognising their cultures.”

Woolford loving life in the NRL



At the start of the season Zac Woolford was playing NSW Cup football with the Newtown Jets. Now the hooker is starting for an in-form Canberra Raiders side looking to move into the top eight.

“A roller coaster is a really good way to put it, it has been really surreal. It all obviously happened so fast so just getting my head around playing in the NRL, I haven’t really had time to sit down and have a good think about it,” Woolford said.

I'm very nervous that we've heard nothing of Croker. It was Tuesday night he popped his shoulder, so even allowing that he likely could not get scans until Wednesday, surely we ought to have heard news by now, even if it is the bad news? It's not like last time where he did it on Friday night and we had to wait out the weekend.

There's a press report indicating that the club wasn't rushing to have the scans done as it is virtually certain that surgery is required.

So what you’re saying GE, is that the silence is deafening?
