Raiders fan BJ from The Greenhouse reacts to Ricky Stuart comments that the Raiders don’t receive enough support from government
Yep ACT government is spending taxpayers money to support the GWS and giving much less to the raiders. BTW this is fact not fiction.
The NRL have also damaged the code in Canberra by reducing the opportunity for traditional rugby league fans to see their team in action on free to air. Canberrans from lower socio economic areas such as Tuggeranong, belconen and Queanbeyan support league but have less money for Foxtel than richer areas that are traditionally rugby union fans.
Bring back raiders games on GEM free to air on delay. This will help reconnect Canberra fans with the raiders.
SoS from The Chookpen wasn’t happy with his side’s tall winger Daniel Tupou
If the bro' who looks like a giraffe and plays like one doesn't show some form against the Storm, I think Elliott or Stapo the bro' deserves a run on ANZAC day.
Foreveratiger from the weststigersforum understood the business side of moving games away from Leichardt.
As much as I love games at Leichhardt, i have always said I'm all about maximising our revenue.
So if ANZ Stadium is the place we turnover the most $$$, well that should be our only home ground.
Maybe even 1 game a year at Leichhardt and 1 game at Campbelltown a year could be the go to keep some happy, but then again it wouldn't be worthwhile there effort for Leichhardt Council to getting that ground to NRL standard ( so much work is required by the sounds of it).
Long Suffering Sharkie was calling for Gallen’s head on Sharks Forever forum
It makes far more sense to have Ennis as captain because Gallen will go missing at Origin time anyway.
Why not install Ennis as captain now and get some consistency and confidence in place for the team for the rest of the year?
Is he really that untouchable that even the coach can't speak up against Gallen and overrule him?
The man is overrated and a myth - and all because he makes two hits ups out of our six tackles every set and therefore is a 'metre eater' and a 'legend'
Stop the shenanigans Flanagan and grow some balls.
Noise from Parramatta Eels Front Row Forum wanted Hoppa out of the fullback position
These days the fullback needs to be a central part of a team's attack. Lets look at Hoppa:
5 games, 400min of football:
1 try
1 line break (which came from the try)
0 try assists
0 line break assists
6 errors
He is great from dummy half which is important for a winger or centre. This is where he makes a lot of his metres. How long are we going to have to watch Hoppa produce SFA from the back?
Unbreakable from BroncosHQ wasn’t super impressed with the re-signing of Andrew McCullough
I assume Wayne looked at the list of free agent Hookers coming off contract in the next couple of seasons and just decided that re-signing Andrew was the lesser of 2 evils, the only Hookers off-contract in the next couple of years who you would consider a class above McCullough are Nathan Peats & James Segeyaro, and they'll both be staying with the clubs they're at one would imagine.
Cowboys fans couldn’t get over the form of their star halfback, Joshpryor87 said:
He is our King in North Queensland regardless, but I hope he gets recognised/remembered after footy. Even if it is not as an immortal, but one of the all time greats. I'd have him as an immortal in a heartbeat, but that's just me
Kevin from Panther Pride doubted Jamal Idris’ ability to return to top level NRL
Maybe he has got his wish, early retirement
I don't see him coming back, his mindset isn't what isn't what it should be, the effort that will be required by him to return to "fitness" will be too much for his lax attitude, I am tipping his weight will balloon.
Maybe he can earn his way via the Footy Show.
Flight of the magpie got straight to the point on the Bulldogs’ Front Row Forum
Hodkinson is stealing a pay check atm
Over on the Silvertails forum Brad had a few ideas for how Manly should utilize recent signing Bob Fulton
Get him fit and throw him in at 6 couldn't do any worse then the pelican we have there at present.
arda.dalcik had a dig at a few Rabbitohs players on the Rabbitohs Front Row Forum
boys expect a couple of more loses
wat adam reynolds brings to the team is so much with direction,play and goal kicking and communication with defence with his outside men.
who i have been really unimpressed by is greg inglis supposed to be the last ditch tackle saver but has practically missed every single one.
another person who im not impressed by is alex johnston does not bend the line at all when he runs and is always put on his back.
what does darren nicholas bring to the team a hell not of nothing.
souths to lose the next 2-3 games spewing
At nzwarriors.com, Waiting for a Premieship had a go at Numbnutsnz about Lance Hohaia
Numbnutsnz: Hohaia for Townsend anyone?
Waiting for a premiership: Go give yourself a face smack…remember what happened with Stacey, totally f*****d up 2 seasons…
