Does anyone think that we have been training some things that we are not putting into games just yet? It is clear that to win big finals you need to be able to throw things at teams that they aren't able to defend but with the analysis being so on point once you have used a strategy teams will be l...

Woodgers

Rickman I agree with you on the CNK one, I think that's a fair cop but what people are unhappy about is the fact that it is consistently a penalty all year and it wasn't on the day. I can get around that notion but for me I think the rule should be interpreted the way the refs did do it so i'm fine ...

Same time next week mucker?

Woodgers

I don't need a lesson on the rules Pigman, I know the rules I'm talking about where the discrepancies are and you want to apply them with no grey, mostly I think to win internet arguments. The big problem with where you're at mate is you're actually a pretty cluey bloke on footy, but you've spent 2 ...

Woodgers

Woody, if its in the rule book, stated clear as day, then im afraid yes it is a penalty. It's not open to common sense or interpreation, it just is. If you want to say the rule if **** garbage, fine. But it is a penalty. You're trying to interpret a game of footy in clear black and white and it isn...

Woodgers

I’m still waiting to hear about how this interpretation is logically consistent with penalising high tacklers when the runner slips over. high contact in a tackle is a mandatory penalty, doesnt matter how or why. No interpretation required. Player was hit in the head in a tackle forcefully. End of ...

Robinson is being a ****. He is training his players to kill momentum using the rules as his tool. That's not how i see it at all, i actually think situation is far more appalling than some tactic to stop us from getting a quick play the ball on tackle 5, 30 out from the try line. But there can be ...

Woodgers

Pigman, agree with your assessment of the Mitchell try and I think most footy players would see it that way. I mean, everything isn't a technicality and the fullback had a fair play at it so I believe that's a try and always should be. We can't complain. As for the revelation about the scrum penalty...

Woodgers

I think we're absolutely premiership contenders and my natural instinct is to not believe we are. We're there in September, I believe we can beat anyone and do it 3 or 4 times. Today hasn't changed my thinking at all. Every team has areas of improvement and I think we learn from today and move forwa...

Woodgers

Skater you've actually hit on the point that I originally wanted to make but completely forgot in my post :D Things that annoyed me most in that match: 1. Raiders game management 2. The referees not understanding the flow of the game and allowing the Roosters to delay the play anytime we had momentu...

Woodgers

I thought we lost the game because our game management is not up to the mark. I don't quite know how we can be so unorganised on an attacking set of 6 after a stoppage let alone the kicking game. Our 5th tackle options were up there with as bad as we've seen all year. And the thing that bugs me the ...

Woodgers

Really excited. Days like today really solidify why we love our footy, everything today revolves around 2pm.

I think we're going to win. Not the end of the world if we don't though, we're going brilliantly regardless.

Woodgers

RTS is clearly a physically and technically a more gifted player than CNK. What you can't measure is the attitude that CNK is bringing us. He's playing for the team and everyone is comfortable with what he's bringing. You can't buy that kind of thing. You can see unity within teams sometimes and I t...

Woodgers

Favourite player. If Ricky told him to reduce the chance of giving away stupid penalties with over the top aggression then he's doing his job. I suspect Ricky has told him nothing. I remember at the start of the year when we signed him I thought to myself why on earth would we sign a backrower, abso...

Woodgers

These blokes are playing for each other. It is hard to believe that these are the same players as last year with a few additions but those additions have really changed the entire dynamic. Can't wait for the next 2 weeks, we see where we really sit but regardless if this side remains relatively heal...

Woodgers

If this forum has taught me nothing else, and it hasn't, it is that there is no such thing as an argument with Pigman...and also that his offsider Nickman should stick to other sports like hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing and such and such.

Woodgers

Haha it's true with Pick says though... like if you actually believe the NRL officials and MRC and judicary and broadcast partners etc are all in some long game to **** the raiders at every turn, why would you watch this ****? If i thought a sport was that corrupt, i just wouldnt watch it at all......

Woodgers

Despite what people might think, I'm not too far away from Pickles in terms of what I prefer to focus on so that I can extract as much enjoyment as possible from watching the footy. I cannot remember the last time I blamed the officials for a Raiders loss, at a guess i'm thinking probably Cronulla a...

The other two are spot on, and were handled perfectly on the field and subsequently.

Any insights on why the Jurbo one was the only one that was overlooked? Luck of the draw perhaps?

Woodgers

No my point to Pickles is that it would be a proportionality thing. You'd be hard pressed to not find a dubious call against any team in any game and fans seem to latch onto it so everyone thinks they get screwed as it is a talking point. I think say a Souths fan might be unpleasantly surprised if t...

Woodgers

I almost put the Cowboys in the same category as the group of the least relevant teams I mentioned, they'd be next in line. It's basically universally agreed amongst everyone that the game has been an administration bin fire for as long as anyone can remember but we're expected to accept that these ...

Woodgers

I’ve watched footy with fans of most teams and nearly all of them think they screwed by the refs, it’s really quite incredible that all the teams could be screwed over at once! Also interesting that most of us can be more circumspect about these decisions after a solid win! Plenty of calls in that ...

Woodgers

Haha, no agenda. It was presented without comment. There is plenty of examples where people with history sway too far one way in a sort of way to prove they aren't biased, and plenty where it goes the otherway. But i just found it interesting that those two were in that position. But the Raiders do...

Woodgers

Anyone expect Hudson Young to come back in? For Guler maybe? Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse I don't know about changing the side after a win like that but I like it. Honestly for workrate and intensity I would consider Hudson even starting for Tapine and either just getting him to gas him...

Woodgers

One of them completely aggrieved with the club from all reports. I won't argue the toss because I know your agenda on this stuff but I don't think listing Robertson is a tick in the Raiders box. I am glad to see Hodgson is on there though. In all my few dealings with NRL players, he seemed like an e...

Woodgers

FYI i'm with Beejay on the Ponga call. I mostly played fullback or outside backs growing up and I think about scenarios like that and you're just competing for the ball. If you don't they call you horrible names like Darius. This incident crosses over with the spear tackle thing on intent because Po...

Woodgers

Massive bonus if he is back before finals. He is our X factor and that unpredictability that we lack. Huge news in a season where things are coming together nicely.

Woodgers

Agree with the comments on 100% footy and what you're saying as well re the commentary Julian. This is exactly where we want to be. The last thing this team really wants is the weight of expectation and I prefer reading people writing us off than talking us up. We've always been a better team as the...

Woodgers

Mate most people have given him the #1 already. How is that not overly excited? I don’t think people thinking he’s likely better than Brad Abbey is them getting excited. Exactly. He's a talented kid and is probably better than who we are going to line up at #1 without him. I think im probably one o...

Woodgers

I'd sure hate to be Dubby and Woodgers reading back on this thread! :lol: C'mon Nicko, it's nowhere in the realm of the **** kicking that you copped in that Cotric thread (and others) :lol: I read what I wrote on page 5 and it wasn't that bad. I didn't bag the bloke, just spoke about how he was an ...

Woodgers

I tip QLD 1-12. My theory is that NSW is probably the better overall side at the moment. Game 2 is in Perth, Game 3 is in Sydney, the NRL need QLD to win this one to ignite the series a bit. You have Sutton as primary ref whose stats are notoriously home town (particularly at Suncorp). I think QLD ...
