Brumbies thrived while Raiders struggled during the Super League era, causing tension and complaints about coverage.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, during and after the Super League war, the Brumbies were the talk of the city, drawing capacity crowds, while the Raiders struggled to regain lost ground.
I well remember receiving multiple calls from people connected to the Raiders complaining about the coverage given to the Brumbies as the Raiders battled for airtime.
From my perspective, it was acrimonious from a Raiders perspective, while the Brumbies just forged ahead.
