All NRL Games [Round 21, 2024]

[Dion Johnson]

Raiders will be very hard to beat in a fortnight.

Near impossible actually, if they are on.

The Dogs game hopefully takes a bit of wind out of them…

We go alright in Canberra bd, didn't we carve them up in Canberra last season.

2022 28-0 at half time, ended up 48-6.

I have been to most of our matches there, and plenty at the old Seiffert Oval.I think we have won 11 out of 19 at GIO.

Just going on memory, think we've won our last 3 games in Canberra.

Yeah, our record there is good. And we simply have to win, especially after what happened in Brookvale the first time we played them. I'm still embarrassed by that performance, so I hope the players are as well. If the Raiders take four points from us over a season, we don't deserve to play in the finals.

Yep, we've got some unfinished business with the faders and need to return the compliment in spades. To much at stake now for us to falter at the business end of the season.

Sorry, you're right bd. Apart from that game our record is pretty solid in Canberra.

 

[The Who]

I'm not normally in the business of feeling sorry for a rival club, but that's how I'm feeling about Wests upon reading that Stefino will be leaving at the end of the season. He is being chased by several clubs, the report says. No doubt he'll go to one that is a premiership contender.
Wests lose more players than any other. They have had incredible talent but can't retain it. Unless the NRL gets serious about the salary cap we are going to continue to see Wests at the tail end of the competition.
A points system, which has been debated on this Forum many times, seems the most sensible way of making NRL a more even competition each season.

I think along similar lines with the West Tigers, no supporters that watch the game want their club running at the bottom of the ladder, a change in the current system or making the salary cap without any third party deals as this is very grey and keeps some clubs at the top.

They have a very good junior nursery out there and if they can get the right coach and the balance correct with experienced players they will be competing again, then they have to try and lock up the junior players into 2-3 year deals.

They may need some help from personnel that have been through the Panthers transformation, can be done.
