@ChrisAndo5 @theSportress I know you’re right, but if I tell myself that it is then I’ll be less disappointed if im right!

@ReadRobbie @theSportress I remember the start of 2017 we had a golden point loss to the Cowboys and a 13-12 loss to the Broncos and so many heartbreaking losses that season its too early to say that we have 2017 vibes

A review of a frustrating game sportress.org/2026/03/19/rai… #NRLRaidersBulldogs #UpTheMilk #WeAreRaiders

@AndoDanny @DavidStacka @theSportress Totally agree with that. The Broncos had an abysmal start last year and now they’re premiers. But years of supporting the Raiders has left me frightened and skittish

@DavidStacka @theSportress @ReadRobbie Its rd 3, goodness me. Long long season. We were 1 from 3 in '89 as well. If that's not an omen i'm not sure what is...

@DavidStacka @theSportress It is definitely a worse game, and a 4 pt loss to the Bulldogs in those circumstances is nothing to be ashamed of. I just wonder how many gallant close losses we can afford before finals become mathematical.

@theSportress @ReadRobbie This team is better than the 2017/18 team, I’m almost sure of it. Unfortunately the 2026 game of rugby league is much much worse.

@GreenMachinePod 2026 is beginning to look like 2017/18. A season full of close losses and “what ifs” after a tremendous season the year before.

Close in the end but not to be. Give us your thoughts on the game.

@TheGHRaiders He looked incredibly composed. That pass he threw to Martin for the first try looked purposeful. Martin had a lot of work to do, but the Colonel made it look like it was something planned and orchestrated.

#GHRaidersChat How about that Ethan Sanders, Canberra Raiders fans? Strange says he’s a general. Tell us what impressed you about his game on Saturday night. #NRL #WeAreRaiders #Canberra #Raiders #CanberraRaiders

@smithy_deb @PaulineHansonOz I’m not sure an Australian politician that doesn’t deflect or avoid tough questions exists.

What a joke Hanson, can’t answer a question and walks out. If a question is too hard YOU AINT NO LEADER. Also who airbrushed the gell out of this pic ⁦@PaulineHansonOz⁩ 🥴 #Auspol

@Ben77099196273 Union is great if you enjoy games where the final score can be just from penalty goals and not a single try scored. You can also mow the lawn in the time it takes to pack a scrum. Assuming it doesn’t collapse repeatedly and just result in an obscure penalty.

@codenrl It’s just an updated Nth Sydney logo. Honestly it’s barely a Perth franchise.

The Perth Bears have a new logo! 🐻 Bears CEO Anthony De Ceglie says the logo paid respect to North Sydney’s rich history while embracing the club’s future in Western Australia. What are your thoughts? HAVE YOUR SAY ▶️ bit.ly/4pDFGTY

@TheMiddleStump Rugby Union is dead in Australia and yet still rank 7th in the world. That sounds mighty impressive. I’m no soccer fan, but my understanding is Australia and England seem to be winning about the same amount of trophies for the last few decades.

Numerous Australians on here crowing about how they are the world leaders of sport. Cricket, rugby league and Aussie Rules yes. Rugby union now 7th in the world, and a football team that have failed to qualify for World Cups more often than they have succeeded. Pipe down.

@TheMiddleStump He served his time. He copped a lot more grief (and continues to do so) than most others in the game who have been done for tampering.

Genuine question, Australians. When Smith was banned over sandpapergate, many Aussies wanted him banned for life. Is that the general feeling still now or has he served his time? And how do you feel about him back as skipper? Lucky to be on the pitch?

@7NewsMelbourne @rochelleebrown1 Darn it I just love it when people in cities share the full breadth of their knowledge by declaring 4wds should be banned or taxed to the eyeballs without pausing to consider Australia’s demographic, size or terrain.

Pedestrian fatalities have hit a 17 year high and road safety experts are pointing the finger at a growing trend. The surging popularity of large SUVs and Utes is being blamed for making Victorian roads far more dangerous. @rochelleebrown1

@MichaelVaughan There’s certainly life in the pitch, but to be fair there’s some absolutely cavalier batting going on from both sides.

This pitch is a joke .. This is selling the game short .. The players / Broadcasters and more importantly the fans .. 26 wickets in 98 overs !!!!! #Ashes ..

@TheJeffPutnam @KevinMonk @TheWalterMagic Everyone thinks they can when they watch it from the comfort and safety of their home, but if you were in his position how sure are you that you could do better? You should be pretty darn sure before you sling mud at people for “half measures.”

@KevinMonk @TheWalterMagic Re-reframe: a long gun can be used as a club

Yall are gonna be mad at me for this, but how many more people were shot because this guy couldn’t bring himself to shoot this rabid animal in the face after disarming him but instead allowed him to run to the foot bridge and re-arm himself?

@FOXNRL I’m pretty sure the Adelaide Rams were financially sound when they wound up. Their memberships were one of the highest, and I’m pretty sure they had their ‘99 season launch then they got cut from out of left field.

The Warriors came into the NRL in 1995, but have not tasted premiership glory in three decades🚨 Despite making the Grand Final in 2002 and 2011, the Warriors are still waiting for their first title... EVERY EXPANSION FRANCHISE RANKED 👉 bit.ly/3K1GP98

@FOXNRL Sportsbet paying $1.01 that Broncos fans fill the comments using these templates: “All Raiders do is whinge,” “how many finals did the Raiders win?”and “we are the greatest most dominant premiers the world has ever seen and we deserve everything.”

'ORCHESTRATED FOR THEM' 😡 Raiders boss Don Furner has taken a swipe at the 'very lucky' Broncos after they were given a dream 2026 draw... WHAT HE SAID 👉bit.ly/3JOktrE

@EastsToWin1994 @LeagueScenePod @badel_cmail Settle down champ, it’s a QLD cup half not Nathan Cleary.

@LeagueScenePod @badel_cmail Remember that bullshit excuse for Canberra we can’t recruit players because of the reputation and climate etc now there’s no excuse

BREAKING: Coby Black has made his move with the Broncos prodigy set to depart the club and sign for Canberra in 2027. Black was the odd man out after Brisbane went for Jonah Pezet as the man to succeed Adam Reynolds. 📝 @badel_cmail

@theSportress I think Sanders could very much be the guy. Fogarty was a great half for the club, but he had deficiencies in his game. He mainly carried the team on his boot it was really only in ‘25 he became a proper playmaker. I think Sanders has a lot higher ceiling.

The Pezet pursuit may be over. Here's what we think sportress.org/2025/10/16/bac…

Credit to Reece Walsh for winning the Clive Churchill medal. The way he went down from the Hosking charge down in week 1 of finals I thought he might die or at least never walk again.
