Re: 2024 NRL Round 11: Teams and Game Day

So Charnze is the five eighth for the Warriors? Is that the same guy who was being wildly bemoaned by raiders fans two years ago because he had no ball playing ability? Weird. Let's see how he goes first. I think he should remain at fullback, it's his best position. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapa...

I tell ya who should be taking a home game to Brisbane.. The Broncos. Not once yet. It's an absolute rort. It's stuff like this which reinforce how much the NRL take the piss with a couple of clubs. They don't even attempt to hide it any more. Meanwhile, other clubs take home games away to regional...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I still think Schuster is worth a chat. We were quoted saying we're after a backrower with a point of difference. He is certainly that. For the right price ofcourse. Crichton seems like a risk as he will command a lot more money - only started playing well in a contract year, mental health concerns...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

Can we just sign a second rower and a hooker and be done with it? We should be looking at Crichton, zac will be good when he's fit again Agreed on the Crichton point.

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews

I watched the first half (panthers/dogs) to see how they looked but because of the conditions it's hard to take anything out of it. Their defence was good, but very compressed. But that may have just been because of the conditions and panthers not being able to go round them. Sent from my SM-G975F u...

Now that I've read the rest of the thread - I really don't think the standard of refereeing this year has been any better or any worse than previous years.
