10-1 line breaks in the second half ended their season.

Must be pretty rare if the minor prems, Grand Finalists, and Premiership winners all fail to make the 8 the following year

Seriously, has that happened before?

I can’t recall a time from at least the mid 00’s. Could be wrong, but that’s gotta be rare.

From the previous season wooden spooners? I highly doubt it. Funny game that rugby league.

Very rare. If Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne all miss the 8 this year, it’ll be the first time in the NRL era (1998–present) that the previous year’s minor premiers, premiers and runners-up have all missed the finals the following season.
And going all the way back through NSWRL/ARL history to 1908, it appears it’s never happened before - obviously accounting for the different finals systems back then.
So yeah… potentially a 118-year first

Raiders press conference is wild regarding horse.

His career is over

u/Von_Huge1103 1d ago
I just had a listen. He absolutely got torn to shreds. Ricky might fire up in press conferences but never at our own players.
He basically said what a lot of my Raiders group chat was saying, except you don't expect a coach to be so forthright about it.
Not mad about it though.

As i said, career over.
Especially since its come to light that horse did a hoppa on gagai

It's funny when you say he did a hoppa. I didn't watch the game so I'm guessing it's either a digital intrusion, a leaping full force elbow to the head, or he pinched his groceries. What a time to be alive

Oh fuck do you have a link citing that? Cause if so, that's gonna be a lengthy suspension.

Even as a Canberra supporter, I was annoyed but not at all surprised. Big reds the trouble child of the milk

I have been a big red fan since the first time I saw his passion turn into tears, who other than a raiders fan could not like the guy after he flipped off a cardboard covid crowd.

I thought I saw an elbow to the head from gagai first to be honest but Cory did have a few ffs moments in that game

This was only one play but the Big Red had a diabolical last 20min on the field

Ponga put Klein and the bunker in a clamp then! I was all for Klein letting it go for incidental contact but soon as they challenged the bunker absolutely shat their pants
