What happened to “don’t want to change a winning side” eh Rick? Usual double standards for his favourites.

Blind Freddy could see we were a much better side on Sunday without carrying this absolute passenger
And we actually saved our captain's challenge to right at the end when we needed it - and used it successfully twice ! (once inconclusive with the Meaney knock on)
God that was a ridiculous decision by the bunker. Meaney touched it, it wasn't even close to being inconclusive.
Yep, gutless call.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart turns to rookie winger Albert Hopoate for Warriors clash



The sidelining of two Canberra Raiders wingers has opened the door for rookie Albert Hopoate to earn his starting stripes for the side on Saturday. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has turned to his first-choice winger Nick Cotric and newcomer Hopoate to fill the void left by Jordan Rapana's suspension and James Schiller's ankle injury for the New Zealand Warriors clash.

I don’t think it was debated that Meaney touched it. I think the issue was Wighton also touched it at about the same time and it wasn’t clear who it went forward off since the angle wasn’t great.

If it's a simultaneous knock doesn't the feed/advantage go to the attacking side?

I think that's the problem, it couldnt be determined who if anyone touched it first, so they stuck with the on field call since there was no evidence sufficent to overturn the decision
Which is how the bunker should work btw.

It wasn’t so much simultaneous as difficult to work out which way it went between them.

I thought Hopoate was pretty good carrying the ball in his cameo last week. Have been reading good things about his stints is NSW Cup. Hope he goes well.

And Botman. I guess that is fair enough but in that scenario where the bunker doesn't have a clue maybe replaying that play is a fairer result?

Nope, that’s not its role. The bunker was introduced to overturn the howlers. They look at decisions sent up (with an on field call) or challenged (with an on field call) and see if there is conclusive evidence that the in field
Ref got it wrong.

Bar the NAS incident, I though the video ref was actually excellent; and the communication was as clear as I can remember it.

Yep, me too Boomercm. I reckon Johnson will target the new comer with bombs. I'm sure Sticky will be giving him plenty of practice but the back three are generally on their own when the bombs are coming down. Same with his defence. He will not have played too often with the other players on his side of the field. Hopefully it all comes together on the day. I think his strength is his running game. I hope he can see some clear air during the match.

I’m a Savage fan but if I were Johnson I know where I’d be targeting my bombs. The lad is still hit and miss under the high ball.

AUDIO: Corey Harawira-Naera on Canberra Raiders’ clutch win over Melbourne Storm

The Canberra Raiders pulled off the upset of the round over the weekend. Raiders forward Corey Harawira-Naera joined Mark Levy with his reaction to the win.

“I’ve never done it before … it’s good to be on that side of the ledger,” he said.

OK then here we go. It’s great to see the almost team named as the one that beat the Storm with the exception of the necessary changes on the wings. I am positive it’s also a good move to have CHN instead of a dedicated back on the bench. I am also positive that having Monsieur Blanchetête play the full 80 minutes is a questionable decision. I would be happy to have to eat my words on the weekend and would find it a positive experience.

There's not really "illegal" players anymore, they could name anyone from outside the top 30 if they really have to.
Illegal as in they can't play of they're not named in the initial squad at 4pm on a Tuesday.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Oh, I get what you mean. It is odd they didn’t at least CNK on that extended bench just in case.

For one of the very few times this season, our halves actually controlled the game reasonably well against Storm. Hope they can back that up and even improve this weekend (famous last words..)

Yeah, agreed, that's how the bunker SHOULD work... I wish they actually overturned a hell of a lot less stuff when it's inconclusive, the bunker for mine steps in way too much at present on 50/50 calls.

That's always been my biggest gripe with the bunker/video ref.

Shame to see Whitehead straight back in but at least CHN made the side. He'll get a chance to make an impact on that dodgy warriors middle.
The key is just ball control. If we aren't good at diffusing kicks they'll just score too many points with repeated sets for us to make up the difference.
Walsh coming on late will be a handful as well.

I’ve got us locked for a big lead with everyone popping champagne and declaring us finals contenders.

And then I subsequently have us locked in for a fatal or near fatal fade-out a la the Knights game.

I just haven’t decided if we scrape it into the W column or into the column of 20+ blown games over the last couple seasons.

There's nobody on here that hates us winning, that's such a ridiculous statement.

What most of us hate is mediocrity and sitting 10th on the ladder when most of us think we should be a lot higher... but you're obviously happy with that?

Losing was the best thing that happened to the broncos recently. Triggered a complete overhaul of the coaching staff and roster. Currently having their best season for years.

Losing was the best thing that happened to the Cowboys and sharks recently. Triggered a change in coaches, both recruited a half to steer the ship, and a complete change from 201x style football structure. Currently having their best seasons for years.

All 3 teams on a significantly better trajectory than the raiders currently are.

I want to make finals every year, and be a genuine threat. That sadly doesn’t look like happening any time soon.

Every one of those teams I listed were successful recently, arguably stuck with a coach/roster/playing style too long and performance suffered requiring a reset.
