Maybe getting 30mins of game time all year and then being asked to save our season is a shit ask of rookies.I dunno. Ali & Taufa were terrible.

Ricky did it at the start of the season and its paying dividends.Can't think of many recent teams who threw half a dozen rookies into the fire
Ricky did it at the start of the season and its paying dividends.
He only really threw Strange and Smithies in the deep end, the other young guys have been introduced drips and drabs over the years.Ricky did it at the start of the season and its paying dividends.
Those results look better than ours, or is that frequency bias.They're coming 10th. Since Ricky took over they've been 15th, 10th, 2nd, 10th, 10th, 4th, 5th, 10th, 8th, 8th, 10th*. Too early to draw any conclusions on this crop as at the moment they're just maintaining the status quo. Won't know for 2-3 years whether Ricky can push them higher consistently.
Chevy Stewart 3 appearancesHe only really threw Strange and Smithies in the deep end, the other young guys have been introduced drips and drabs over the years.
And Smithies already had over 100 games in Super League so doesn't really count.

They're running 10th - have one more competition point than us & don't exactly have any senior players being kept out of FG.Ricky did it at the start of the season and its paying dividends.
Thanks for confirming they have mainly been introduced in drips and drabs.Chevy Stewart 3 appearances
Ethan Strange debuted round 24 last year
Schiller 2nd season
Weekes 2nd season
Mariota 2nd season
Mooney 1st proper season
Yeah youre right top 4 last year to bottom 4 this year is much more desirable...They're running 10th - have one more competition point than us & don't exactly have any senior players being kept out of FG.
Perspective...

Maybe read the post next timeRicky did it at the start of the season and its paying dividends.
What do you mean? Only Strange and Smithies played round 1 who were NRL rookies, as I said Smithies doesn't really count. The rest have been getting introduced over time pretty similarly to our current batch of rookies.. No where near half a dozen rookies getting thrown in at once.Maybe read the post next time
Our "rookies" arent all NRL debutants, some played a game or two last year.What do you mean? Only Strange and Smithies played round 1 who were NRL rookies, as I said Smithies doesn't really count.

The issue for me is that a number of them went well and haven't really been rewarded for it or utilised well. Of course we aren't privy to conversations in the club but on the surface some selections or non selections are a bit baffling.Our "rookies" arent all NRL debutants, some played a game or two last year.
Round 1 Canberra had
Strange
Mariota
Smithies
Weeks - 18th man.
And the point is that Ricky played them. And when the going got tough Ricky doubled down on them.

Aren't you the guy who wanks on about straw man argumentsYeah youre right top 4 last year to bottom 4 this year is much more desirable...

How is it a strawman my guy? You introduced the topic of table position..Aren't you the guy who wanks on about straw man arguments
The Raiders finished 8th last year and are likely to finish below that this year SuperCoach.

You made a future assumption of the Warriors finishing bottom 4... is that "weak"How is it a strawman my guy? You introduced the topic of table position..
Also using an assumption of a future event as the evidence for your argument is umm… let’s say “weak”![]()
You made a future assumption of the Warriors finishing bottom 4... is that "weak"
Can you be more of a hypocrite.
This Raiders have debuted more juniors are showing the dividends is a fallacy, The Warriors have debuted more.
One of your Raiders examples is a ex Super League player with 120 games - that's how poorly thought out this schtick was by you.
