@RaidersCanberra Even as a Queenslander I love this (ACT is not NSW 🤣)

The kid 🙌 #WeAreRaiders #Origin

Dedicated QLD supporter very happy the @RaidersCanberra nailed their assignment! (numptys still don't get ACT is not NSW)

I'm "only" gen X, not Baby Boomer but this is what wifey and I already fear from Labor, multiplied by ACT Labor's similar fiscal ineptitude

@CJCau @CraigNorenbergs @edenparknz @wallabies @AllBlacks Yes, I was booked into it as a 50th pressie from wifey ☹️. I wasn't necessarily thinking the same day (although it would be brilliant), even a weekend would be good...but then again, Barr Stadium 🤬🤬

@willowoz @CraigNorenbergs @edenparknz @wallabies @AllBlacks Before COVID hit, there was a schedule for Blues v Brumbies to be followed by Wahs v Milk at Eden Park in a double header. Somehow I can’t see the codes agreeing to it now. (Much like years ago the talks for a Swans VFL and NSWRL double header at the SCG which came to nought.)

Announcement of major 2027 event at @edenparknz this week. ANZAC Day #Bledisloe? 🤷🏼‍♂️ @wallabies @AllBlacks #rugby

@CJCau @CraigNorenbergs @edenparknz @wallabies @AllBlacks The Wahs should always be playing the Milk on ANZAC Day - perfect chance for both teams to pay respects to the Diggers at the AWM on behalf of our great countries. Brumbies v NZ team as well - what a double header weekend

@CraigNorenbergs @edenparknz @wallabies @AllBlacks Wahs on Anzac Day. Hopefully against the Raiders!

@RJCorrigan No one including the refs know how @nrl is officiated now, so being unknowingly consistent will be fun to watch

I call bullsh*t

@Danny_Weidler Ben Ikin...?

LATEST: NRL are yet to confirm Andrew Abdo has quit - but he has not denied the story in questions I have put to him. When directly asked via text he said he can’t talk at the moment. So take it as done. Speculation is that PVL could be interim CEO. That has implications for racing. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine

@TheGHRaiders Hey @nrl, see attached

Our #GHRaidersChat Challenge for a Monday morning. Post the GIF/pic etc which shows how you are feeling about Ricky Stuart’s press conference on Thursday night! Reply with your GIF now! #NRL #WeAreRaiders #Canberra #Raiders

@RaidersCanberra Absolutely deserved - even a jealous Big Willie would agree 🤣. 💚🥛

Congratulations to Raider #211 Alan Tongue on being inducted into the Raiders Hall of Fame! #WeAreRaiders

@RaidersCanberra Tongue, Toots, Shillo

Tonight the Raiders will induct more members into the club's Hall of Fame. Who do you think enters tonight alongside other club legends? Full List of current inductees: raiders.com.au/about/hall-of-… #WeAreRaiders

@LeagueUnlimited And the 9000 Raiders supporters should get their $$ back. Putting up with a shit stadium & a woeful effort 🤬.💚🥛

It's only the second NRL crowd under 10,000 this season (the other being Dragons-Cowboys at Kogarah in Round 5). It's Canberra's lowest crowd at GIO since Round 20 of 2024 (v Warriors).

@BadlyDrawnRL I think detante is over. Corey was in major dummy spit mode (do that!) after missing QLD selection.

Time to throwback to this one

@Raiders_24Sep89 We seem to have gone back to thinking defence is what you put around debuliding, & proper ball handling is what t happens at Fyshwick 🤬.💚🥛

In the end, didn't deserve to win. Tries off poor errors, gross defence for the Schneider try, passes going behind players, wrong options in attack, weak edges, weak middle at times. Yes, plenty of players out, but winnable. You don't walk away thinking, they tried hard, unlucky

@RetroMoviesDB Oh yeah

Who remembers playing Wolfenstein 3D...

@PictureSporting Ah, Tony Greig - the confused South Africstralian Pom 🤣

Dale Hadlee receives a painful blow from Tony Greig, England v NZ, 1st Test, Trent Bridge, June 12th 1973. Hadlee brushed off a bail as he staggered away. New Zealand had been set 479 to win and at 401 for 5 it seemed a sensational win was possible but they lost their last five wickets for 39 runs. Hadlee was ninth man out for 14

@HollandOates91 Always has been, always will be - a complete knob end

@NiallHarbison And the way she rocked those shades 🕶️❤️

A lot of newer followers often ask me who Tina was, the dog that means so much to me. This is her beautiful story A lot of older followers will also enjoy seeing her big, beautiful face I'm sure.

@RetroMoviesDB I'm swapping out Aliens for Untouchables (1987), otherwise that's a great Autumn weekend watch in Oz between Rugby League matches🇦🇺

Top 4 movies released between 1985-1990. Me first:

@theSportress As much as I hate losing them from the Milk, and hate NSW, absolutely deserved! Go Queensland, go well young & busted Raiders 💚🥛🤎🤎

Bugger. I mean good for them sportress.org/2026/05/18/the…

Australians are tightening their belts while government keeps getting bigger. Families are paying more, small businesses are under pressure and young Australians are losing confidence that hard work gets you ahead. Australians are entitled to ask whether life is becoming easier or harder under this government. That should concern all of us. My latest in the NT News.
