Well it looks like it was a lovely day in Manly today. Unless you’re a long suffering Raiders fan as the SMH reports.
The Raiders losing is moving out of the realms of news (even sports news) and becoming another scheduled event on the calendar.

One thing good came out of the embarrassment at the hands of Cronulla it is now one game closer to “the joke masquerading as a coach David Furner” getting the flick.
It has been claimed he has four games left to get it right, oh how I wish that were true, as I somehow think [...]

The Canberra Raiders have broken the bad news that star player Terry Campese is out injured for yet another season:
Scans earlier in the week indicated Campese had only sustained injury to his medial meniscus which is a short term injury, but surgery revealed the worst possible news for the Raiders Captain, a rupture to his [...]

Honestly what does it take to get rid of David Furner from the Canberra Raiders.
I long ago stopped wasting my money going to watch them play, now I just get angry and turn the TV off.  
Week after week watching brain dead footballers give away penalties or fritter away a lead to be beaten [...]

Brian Smith’s side outlasted a Raiders side who played the whole of the second half with 14 available players after injuries to star [...]

If one gets talking to Canberra men of their late 30s and early 40s it is truly astonishing the number who will relate a tale of seeing former Raiders great Ricky Stuart being punched in the head out in Civic for being a total cock.
I myself once spent a few hours on the door of [...]

Foxsports have the grim news that our brave lads in lime have begun the season, at home, with another miserable loss to throw on last year’s bonfire.

My girlfriend bought me a Raiders Gold Membership (I think) for Christmas – a pressie that cost a pretty penny.  She bought it a few weeks before Christmas, and after a few hassles with the Raiders (including them changing their phone number and not updating their website with their new one) it arrived yesterday. 
I have been a [...]

It’s lucky that hope springs eternal in the hearth of the Raider’s true believers at The Green House.
Despite as disappointing a season as can be imagined they’ve put together a highlights video featuring the club songs.
Well, all two of them.
“The Bad and Mean Green Machine” will of course be familiar to many, but [...]

The Herald Sun has a piece on former Raider’s star Daniel Vidot and his relationship with coach Furner:

It’s been rumoured that the Raiders are interested in signing Shaun Berrigan. 
Are there any other clubs interested?
Do you think he’d move to Canberra over Qld where he’s from?

10 months on since the Joel Monaghan feeding franzy brought Canberra to the world’s attention it’s worth noting that Joel’s new team the [*cough*] Warrington Wolves, are having a fantastic season with the former Canberra local playing up a storm.
After the season the Raiders have had are his team mates just a teensy bit envious [...]

With the Roosters showing him the door and another 11 clubs confirming they don’t want him, could that lovable rogue (tongue firmly planted in cheek!) be heading back to Canberra?
I haven’t heard any rumours nor do I wish to start one but it’s possible isn’t it? And I reckon it could happen.
It would have to [...]
