Re: Ricky Stuart on ABC Canberra Grandstand

Agreed, can you imagine who would be in the #7 if Cornish gets injured and we didn't bring in Williams!

To me, the Williams acquisition is more a reflection on his opinion of McCrone in the halves than Cornish

Re: Possible team for 2015

He played right centre in the last few games of 2014, Ed And looked pretty good there too Makes sense - I had stopped paying much attention by then. Keen to see how he goes if given the chance for game one - big fan of Edrick. Having ed lee at centre would also allow us to pick a better kick return...

Re: Josh McCrone says he's still half a chance

"I've been surprised how well Hodgey's come back. When he left he could barely run," McCrone said. "He'll be exciting to watch, especially at Nines. He's quicker now than when he left."

One would hope so!

Re: Who's your favourite current Raiders player?

I'll take Austin.... was tight between him and Toots (as players)
My previous was Reecey, until he refused to put his body on the line when we bailed on his bro, lost his hands and became generally crap.

Re: Which Canberra Raiders were the best players of the 90s?

The answer is not : Phil Blake
But he was my favorite player in the 80's/90's.... only played a season for the Raiders in 92, best years were probably with Souths in the late 80's

Re: 2015 season preview: The spine

I also think seeing the back of Milf will be great for our attack moving forward.Granted, he was a freak... but I think our players over relied on him to create something whenever he had the ball and made us a bit of a one trick pony.

Re: The 2015 Greenhouse Team: Centres

I have toots and Rapana because I much prefer deadly on the wing. Hawkins probably is the safer defender (like alwood last year) and brenko has potential to be a better attacker but for round one I think Rapana due to his all round ability. Let the youngens battle it out at mounties. keep up the gre...

Mccrone will probably get the #14 based on his 'efforts' in preseason (not previous form, more bucket hats and jokes)... then he'll hopefully lose it to Baptiste when Stick sees his mistake in around round 3-4 ....

Re: Who should be the Canberra Raiders new captain?

I'd give first shot to Toots and make Shillo co captain or forwards captain. Reason for this is I'm expecting Shillo to have a BIG year in that he will be playing for a contract with someone else in 2016.

Re: The 2015 Greenhouse Team: Wingers

wouldn't there be the same issue if centres were picked before Wings and fullback?

If we were to chose our BEST centres first, I'd have Jacko and Toots (as would many I believe) meaning Eddie would still only be an option for wing realistically.

Re: Raiders sign Soliola and Hodgson

I watched Josh's game v Hull FC on you tube lastnight (the first half anyway)... I know it's only Super league but he was carving up! Exactly what we need! hopefully his form translates to NRL :) Hull KR would have torn us a new one on Sunday. (on a side note cant believe how packed the stadium was)...
