No link yet but I just saw on the tv that Raider’s Captain Simon Woolford has been voted Rugby leagues biggest whinger by other players.

Germ makes us proud again.

Carney is 18, it will take him 4 years to develop. Roughly about time the fans will have given up hope for him.

The ‘promising’ halves in the Macs and Finch all left, and have failed to go on to be the superstars they thought they were. Finch got an Origin jumper by default, but is shown up to be ordinary these days.

I do regret the loss of Mick Moneyhan – if he had of stayed, Joel would never have left. That’s about the only poor decision.

Jamaal “why are you so” Lolazy was terrible as a Raider, looks ok as a Dog. Rod Jensen was ordinary in Canberra, has improved now, but they are not the reason the Raiders suck.

My question is – who is the next former NRL star playing in England that will be signed up to the Raiders? Is it unreasonable to assume that blokes who have played in England are not afraid of the Canberra cold and are more likely to play with the Raiders?

Uh huh. And they’ll bitch and moan when Campese and Carney get poached.

I think that Elliot has made a mistake this week by naming Gafa at 5/8 and dropping Campo to premier.

Why can’t Whingeford tackle? Other than head high, I meant.

Too true GF, Matt Elliot is doing a damn fine job with what he is working with. That being said, the basis is there fo an outstanding team; provided they purchase wisely and culture the talent they do have.

Laurie Daley can come back, hell even Brad Clyde can come back, but I still stand by the “Say No to Ricky” line. The man is a f*cktard.

I’d have Ricky back in a flash if he was Captain Coach, and Lozza was Vice Captain and Assistant Coach 🙂
It would be better than whatever half-5/8’s combo Matty Elliot has at his disposal now…
I don’t think the Raiders problems are entirely Matty’s fault either – he does well with the team of cast-offs, local kids and never-gonna-be’s the Raiders are. As they say, you can’t polish a turd…

Roosters would have to be the most overrated team just about ever….. Minichello is shit wing is shit corcker is shit…. these guys can all have the odd good game like any first grader SHOULD but these guys are not at origin level.

On the note of origin I watched this doco on 25 years of queensland with my step dad the other day….. and it seriously took me back to the glory days of the late 80s and 90s when league and especially origin was great to watch…. All these new rules and new level professionalism have turned the game into unwatchable garbage (mostly)

It wil be a dark day in Canberra if Ricky Stuart is given the job of coaching the Raiders. I for one will look elsewhere to support a rugby league team such is the hatred I have for this whining little bitch.

You know Ricky has his sights on the Raiders coaching job? So I’ve heard from a good source (who is now at Huddersfield).

Always nice to be right.

I would be interested to see the results of the surveys; anyone know where to find them?

Ricky Stuart would have to be awarded the biggest prick in the game; In fact while we’re on Brett Finch we could award the Roosters with the “Biggest blow-assed overrated gloryboy wannabees” trophy.

Either them or the Broncos…

Apparently Braith won that title – that being most overrated

Brett Finch would have to be one of the most overrated players in the game at the moment. Can’t stand him.

Growling Ferret10:44 am 22 Jun 05

Germ was closely followed by Braith, and former Raiders Brett “I’m ordinary without Freddie next to me” Finch and Mick “We’re in the 8, so where’s me contract” Moneyhan.

So, when does Whingefords contract end?
