Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Canberra Raiders out to prove doubters wrong, again It's a case of the Canberra Raiders looking to prove the doubters wrong - once again. No one will relish that opportunity more than Raiders coach Ricky Stuart, who loves a good case of "us against the world". Without two key players in t...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

The only reason I can think of to justify Starling's selection is experience. Aside from Levi he has more experience than Woolford and Puru. With such an inexperienced backline, he's probably looking for more experience on the field. Isn’t he room mates with Huddo and they’re besties? Maybe Ricky d...

Re: Coaching issues

To me, it’s less about the cattle and more about the lack of structure that we display every single year. We have become one of the most boring, predictable and frustrating teams to watch and nothing seemingly ever gets done to address it. Even now, all our young exciting outside backs talent is hav...

Re: Coaching issues

Stuart is hitting some of the right notes, especially around the youth coming through and seemingly being a bit less dogged with his usual veteran deference. But how can you fellas forgive the fact that for the *check notes* 11th(!) year running, our attack looks like 13 blokes who’ve just met in th...

Re: Canberra Raiders make new offer to Eels half Ethan Sanders

I’d rather see Cook in the halves. I think he’s a better chance of unlocking the abilities of the players around him. Weekes - in a vacuum I actually don’t mind him as player. But I think if he has a future in the NRL, it’s as a fullback. I don’t think he’s up to the required level in the halves. (A...

Just watched the presser. Very mature from Ricky. Yes, although he just can’t help himself - why trot out the “they scored their tries from kicks” routine?

Yeah, goal kicking is kinda a non issue if we don't even ook like we are going to score any tries
Yeah we probably need to figure out how to break the opposition line first. We have no clue.

Good luck to James, I hope he has a long NRL career. x2 I’m disappointed because Schiller = entertaining to watch and Hopoate/Cotric = dull to watch. Here’s hoping Asomua gets a shot at some point. Cotric or Hoppa clogging a wing spot is depressing. Not to mention a throwback to a grindball era tha...
