If Canberra were cared about, or coached by anyone else, then the drums would be beating. They got flogged, again (that's a combined 28-88 in the last 2 weeks alone), sit 12 on the ladder, and have the same for-and-against as the Bunnies, who the media already managed to get their coach fired.
Even without his fluffer in chief Paul Kent defending him, the chat around his current contract is almost non-existent. The Raiders lost a GF 5 years ago, and that seems to be the defense used. Jason Demetriou lost one 3 years ago and is gone. Brad Arthur lost one 2 years ago and he is already gone as well. You can't unpeel sticky though.
I agree with most of this post, but Demetriou didn't take Souths to the GF, Bennett did. Demetriou took over in 2022, where they made the last 4, before being knocked over by Penrith (of course).

@canefan Almost a like for like replacement for Jazz Tevaga, but slightly better than him.

Yeah but he won the national club GF with the Pride which is arguably a bigger achievement
(Duly noted).

this is exactly how I was going to describe him, does have a handling error or two in his game (also like Jazz), but better prop and lock as well.

Me too, although I haven't seen him as much as Jazz to judge him as better.
It does signal than Webster aint moving from his little man bench style though.

Fuuuuccckkkk

Someone check Jason Saab's Sportsbet account

Luke Brooks just cannot win at Leichhardt.
Tommy Turbo is insanely good at footy.
Manly continues to look like premiers and spoon favourites inside every game.
Good win Tigers
-
Tigers playing for their coach and setting up the spoon bowl nicely with Parra last round
-
Have to say Tigers fans, that the spine next year assuming Galvin stays will be top drawer, just need to build a team around it. A lot to get "prematurely" excited about

Agree but will they get a platform with largely mediocre forwards.

Fuck League makes me laugh.
What would be a dead cert red and at least 3 weeks on the sideline that sends RTS to Disneyland and out of the game gets "on report".
I am sure Annesley will explain there is nothing to see here but this work experience ref got that so wrong, made worse from the comparisons to the Manly game. Terrible decision

And another shoulder to the head unpunished

A top 4 side from Sydney, I wish I could say I was surprised.
When was the last time we saw a long range try like that Dogs one, by the Warriors?
We’ve gotta find a balance between completing sets and playing some footy, have a fucking go lads.
-
I just got home from the game. It was good to go and give SJ a nice send off, pity that the ref didn't give us a fair shake. We don't help ourselves, making too many mistakes and failing to convert chances in the second half. Oh well, perhaps next year will be out year...

Thanks Mariner. After decades as a devoted Raiders fan, couldn't bear to even look up the result yesterday against the amazing Panthers. Too hard to take when Sticky is taking them nowhere.

Enjoy watching other teams play finals with us warriors fans.
Nice win, should extend Ricky for another 5
