There were some decisions made that at the time were proactive, not reactive, but that didn't really work out. Without wanting to lay the blame on one person but if he was being proactive how come he kept persisting with Bulgarelli and Drew while they were losing games for the Raiders in front of o...

David Howell will be there. Where did that one come from Thickos? I am really shocked at that because you are usually on the money. I will be surprised if he plays but also a little peeved with one M.Elliott. If he was going to play him in the opener why wasn't he selected for the 2 full strength t...

The worst culprit is actually an AFL fan. He gets stuck into League or the Raiders at least an hour a day and I am not stretching the truth at all. He is so insecure that AFL has not taken over the whole country let alone the world that he spends more time brewing up arguments against league than wa...

I cop it all day, every day. I can't believe how unpopular it is to support the Raiders. On a floor of roughly 75, I reckon there is about 5 rugby league fans and the rest like to stick the boot in at every chance. I get by though because this is something I am passionate and know a lot about. Once ...

Jason Amos the Marketing Manager is a real culprit in this area from what I have seen. He spends all his time t...

I didn't watch the Storm vs Knights but when you get done over like that then your forwards have generally not shaped up. If we get beaten by the Knights or our forwards dominated then we are in for the longest year ever.

Good start is more important for the confidence of the team, there are another 22 rounds to get points. If they do lose the first couple maybe a lot of those inexperienced players will start to believe the press and bookies and fall to pieces. I fear the Souths game on Easter Monday more than the Kn...

I prefer Graham. He has that element of surprise and spark about him. I don't think Mogg worries too many other centres. In a perfect world this thread will be 40 pages long because they both have their best seasons yet.

KNIGHTS: Mark Hughes, Craig Hall, Matthew Gidley, George Carmont, Anthony Quinn, Steve Witt, Andrew Johns (c), Matthew Kennedy, Luke Quigley,...

If that looks like a life buoy or porthole then so does the Raiders original design in the early 80's and early 90's. I'm sure John McIntyre will be glad to hear your thoughts.

From a Graphic point of you, unless the helmet is cartoony, it just won't suit the rest of the logo...copy paste kinda thing. I have a different thought. A lot of designs submitted would have made great banners but would not suit the screen printing of the T-Shirt. A big majority said that BAY25's ...
