Re: Daniel Vidot signs three year deal with Dragons

Very disappointing news. He has the makings of an outstanding rep winger. Hope he overcomes his personal issues and realises his undoubted potential.

Good luck Dan.

Re: Voice of the fans re: David Furner

Furner was such an over rated player and now he has followed on as an over rated coach. The bloke was so predicatable as a player with his so called side step it has now rubbed off to his coaching style that the opposing coaches can now even predict his style of coaching. If it was not for old man ...

Re: Fensom set to break Tongue's tackling record

Why the hell is he made to do hit ups off the scrum, as well as the mountain of other work he does during games? The coaching staff will flog him to death, if not careful...he's still a young kid who hasn't formed up physically yet.

Re: Canberra chairman declares Furner's job safe

We all understand the impact the loss of Campese and others to injury has had on the team. But the real problem is the lack of progress of the playing group as a whole and as individuals. Some including Croker and Vidot have actually gone backwards. We still appear to have little structure in attack...

To be fair to Dugan and his management they have consistently maintained they will wait for the new TV deal before negotiating. Nothing I've read in a direct quote from Dugan indicates he wants to leave the Raiders.

Our line speed in defence has been so much slower than our opponents so far this season. Or maybe we're not creeping up within the 10 like the others?

Milner offers tremendous back up if we run into back line injuries during the season. We're lucky to have him. Also good to see JT position in the centres seems cemented.
