the kent story a return of serve on behalf of cawley - it so predictable.saw it coming a mile off

You mean on behalf of Ricky Stuart, who wrote the original Crawley article.

Little Sid James even had to mention our roster in the press conference. He couldn't help himself.

Why?

Because it helps him keep his job if everyone thinks Canberra are behind the eight ball.

did ricky ever mention how they kept the team in canberra in the 90s together under the cap?

Belcher, ferguson, meninga, PJ, mullins, hoppe, daley, stuart, clyde, walters, lazarus, todd, coyne, lance, furner nandruku, nagas, pongia, croker?

Did he mention the likes of carney, dugan, Monaghan, Fergo, campese, shillington, wighton, pappali who are all rep players and how they kept them in the team? Or is it how poorly raiders manage the club that drives them away?

[Johnny Tobin]

He didn't funnily enough.

It is never the raiders fault. Furner (Don) and Stuart do the right thing and sack Carney, Dugan, Flake etc and then other clubs who don't do the right thing claim these players for themselves. It's the usual chip on the shoulder, we are the victims raiders mentality at play again, something which has existed for years here in Canberra. Canberra have the whole of southern NSW and surrounding NSW regional areas to get their 'juniors' from. Yes the team that loves nothing more than bleating about our club, get the bulk of their juniors from NSW not the ACT. I have to live here and seriously get sick to death of hearing the raiders whinge and whine about what other clubs have or other clubs do all the time. It's about time they just concentrated on themselves and managng their own club in a more professional manner than they actually do..

Perhaps little sid james would be better off with a job "on the buses"

As do i mightyrooster.

do you remember the bucket appeal back in the nineties where they were asking for public donations to help them during the salary cap scandal? I have always despised them, probably from when they beat us in the major semi in 87, was only little back then, but it left an impression.

I wish Robbo could have responded that perhaps the difference between the Roosters and the Raiders may not so much be down to the players but the coaches.

I have never heard or read of Gus belting us unfairly in the media.

Sure he can be a belter as a commentator but the reality is that's a commentators job, to entertain.

Just last week he wrote a good positive article on us.

Another paranoia ChookPen thingy exposed.

[Tommy Smith]

I was at an NRL run Rugby League coaching course the other month and to paraphrase one of the trainers and a QCup player who run the course:

"when Ricky Stuart was at Parramatta, his coaching was so complicated, with way too many ideas for the players to absorb in such a short time, that the players had no idea wtf the game plan was or what they had to do."

Moral of the story for us... don't over complicate training for the kids.

And the other point to take out of it is that Ricky Stuart has been a disastrous coach for years. An utterly inept fool. And he should have been giving, and continue to give 25% of his yearly wage to Brad Fittler - whose genius has assured him coaching positions for the best part of a decade now.

Sick of all the Rooster bashing.
We can't do anything right according to these hypocrits.
Its almost like uncle Nick upset someone at news ltd??????

Sure do remember that. It's their constant whinging and playing the poor victim card which drives me nuts. I could tolerate them once but I now hate the club.

He might be writing nice things about us but we've still got to listen to him carry on about Souths every week.

Yep, agreed. Have read plenty of good things from Gus in the paper regarding the success of our club and team. He doesn't seem to like Robbo being on the rules committee, however, which is fair enough. And isn't a fan of wrestling (who is?). Channel 9 commentary brings out the worst in him but apart from that, he isn't bad to us
