BB's reply is as predictable as Ricky's coaching. I referred to recruitment in recent years, but knowing what weak arguments he has for the dreadful recruitment in this period, sought to go with the straw man argument to expand the time horizon, arguments about having a hard edge, teams not finding ...

Again, you are focusing on other clubs and casting stones when you should focus on what the Raiders have done in recruitment of established FG players in the last few years. If we were successful in recruiting the likes of Api, KF from the Cowboys, Dylan Brown, Fifita, hell - even Tedesco from the T...

I'm talking about FG talent, BluesBrother. It's well and good to sign players who are young players looking for an opportunity here. We have done well with this but they weren't ready for FG when they got here. Besides Fogarty (who was let go by GC and is a bottom 8 HB) and Smithies, we haven't sign...

I don't think you can win both ways on the GH Forum. I suggested Strange was a SOO candidate and got shot down. I suggested that 'we need to be challenging in 2027 and got shot down. Why can't I be excited about a player and our prospects, even if it's unlikely ? Even Whitehead said they are aiming...

There was no excuse for resigning both Levi and Hoppa. No excuse at all.

We talk a lot about the young players, but the biggest elephant in the room is the coaching

Back to this game Ethan has been ok. He has been good in defence. I’m super impressed with this Talagi kid. I would be going after him hard. He just looks like likely I've got a feeling Roosters will get him. Uncle Nick is just warming up Roosters like signing the finished product. They'll go for C...

Blaize Talagi, 19 years old, 5 FG games, looks the goods. Lovely step on Mam. Involved in everything. Sanders also trying things even though not coming off. He's got a nice harbour bridge pass. Love his confidence and playing what's in front of him, even both sides Bailey didn't play this good at Ca...

Out of all the young FB, I like the Melbourne Storm guy - doesn’t he have some zip ? But Melbourne wouldn’t want to let him go.

If Rapana retires at the end of the year, we will need FB backup even if Chevy plays firsts. Don’t mind if it’s Fuller. Loved the chip and chase try.

Hong Kong Raider

The Dolphins are going very well for a second year club. Sadly they are more closer than us to a premiership. Their young HB Katoa has come on leaps and bounds and is not afraid to run the ball or throw a long pass, and it’s the best that I’ve seen Nikorima play. Fuller is playing well at the back a...

How can the salary cap be an equalizer when you have TPAs that are not counted towards the cap? But that’s the system. The cap has been in place since the 90s and we need to work better at attracting legitimate FG to our club. I like signing the best youth but we also need experienced players from t...

I’d like to have Carbone’s job - do sfa yet still get paid Carbone's job is more pathways recruitment. Ricky decides who to chase for first grade. Apologies to Joel. It wouldn’t surprise me that our recruitment consists of waiting for emails from agents as to who’s off contract. It’s been rubbish t...

JMK for hooker anyone? You know we stood by when Api joined Tigers from Penrith, and then resigned. Yet we signed Levi Look I’d take literally anyone over Levi.

We struggled to put a compelling case to him to leave the GC even without Penrith and Roosters bidding for him last year. Objectively, Ricky isn’t a coach that players are attracted to playing for (SMH have an annual survey on this) and some players don’t want to live in Canberra. We’ve done well in...

Like excellent coaching?

Is Taufa injured? Surely she makes the team.

Hong Kong Raider

I just included it as the criticisms by Gould 15 years ago equally apply today regarding the coaching of attack, ability to score points and exploit opposition weaknesses, blaming of refs for losses (although that has improved this year), being petulant, players that weren't good in attack at Canber...

I posted a number of times in the pre-season about going after Angus Crichton, he was getable and on the market. He's turned his form around and back close to his best as predicted. He'll probably stay at the Roosters now. Would have been great for us. Ah well. I may get deleted but there were seri...

Hong Kong Raider

He effectively saved us the game with the Foran charge down. He also backed up Strange's break in extra time. He's an effort player. As I said before, I'd like to see Chevy play when our pack is dominating and we're winning the ruck. In the meantime, give him time to develop in reserve grade and app...

Written 15 years ago. Thanks for thinking of me, Ricky, but I have better things to do Phil Gould | April 26, 2009 Dear Ricky, perhaps you misunderstood my comments during the week about your predicament at Cronulla.

BB has his points which are well taken. Some hot rookie coaches who have done well (Webster, Todd Payten) haven't been able to repeat it in subsequent years. But that's got nothing to do with Ricky. We should look at our own house and get that in order first. Ricky is not a bad coach. I like him as ...

Hosking was not a consistent FG at any of his clubs.

Fans expect better and not mediocrity. We have suffered for 30 years as Magic Round celebrations will highlight.

The Roosters, Souths and the powerful clubs are the legislators. They write the law. Case in point: SBW in 2020

Getting crazy now the Rorters have offered as well as Saints and Panfers. Would be highly amusing if he snubbed all of them and this circus that has been created and the whole time Donny has been working the back channels quietly and he signs here. Highly unlikely and in all honestly I kind of have...

Roosters made big offer to Fifita for 4 years for $3.4 m. When Real Madrid and Manchester City chase, Burnley Raiders have no hope

Looking at the season summaries, wasn't Rapana a great player for us. 23 and 21 tries 2016-17. Still is.

We really should have won in 1995 and 1993. Look at the points differentials.

Hong Kong Raider

Tedesco look very slow chasing Mam last night. I wouldn't be picking him . He plays a bit like Paul Gallen in SOO. Turbo had his worst game against us. Edwards is in better form than both. Personally I'd go with Edwards but would be happy with Turbo. NSW have a lot of uncertainties in their side - ...

Hong Kong Raider

Turbo getting a point ? LOL. He had handling and defensive issues.

Hong Kong Raider

Would love this guy to join us. I think he is really good. Imagine him running off Sanders. If he's meeting Penrith then he's unsettled and contemplating leaving. He suits Penrith because he can just be himself without the pressure of trying to lift the team. Don't know if he will be taking unders t...
