Re: 2024 Rd 2 v Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

If any winger gets dropped from first grade, does that make Jed Stuart a second rower in cup?

Re: January meeting with specialist could decide future for Corey Harawira-Naera

Wonder if 'the specialist' is the same guy that hands out the black garbage bags?

Re: January meeting with specialist could decide future for Corey Harawira-Naera

In that case, it was Fox Sports making stuff up. Stuart only spoke about Whitehead and Rapana. The coach has never been quoted anywhere suggesting Josh Papalii is going to retire at the end of 2024.

Re: Corey Harawira-Naera very unlikely to play again

Really sad news IF that is the case, but last I heard he was meeting with a specialist mid January to determine his fate. Ricky may just be using language like "the medical reports we are getting" to support his case with the NRL for cap relief/medical retirement. Entirely possibly I'm jus...

Re: Canberra Raiders interested in Lachlan Lam?

I dont know much about much, but Lam recently signing with Leigh would mean that the potential suitor would need to pay them a transfer fee to obtain him wouldn't it?

Maybe Dad knew he was on his way out so had a word in his ear so the club could pick up a few 'quid' on a deal?

The timing of this origin snub is suss as. Not a certainty to be selected, so makes himself 'unavailable'. Retaining the 'Origin star value' on potential contracts.
