I wasn't suggesting it's that simple to just replicate penrith, moreso that we need to pipeline and prioririse our pathways and development Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk We do have a good catchment area. The Riverina, Monaro areas contain quality juniors. We also need to align with other are...

It's a long shot but the raiders should be putting the feelers out for latrell. Have him at centre and Kris on the wing, goalkicker, backup fullback. Might want to get out of the limelight, he's a country kid and would be a statement signing.
Long odds but worth a shot.

Raidernation

Clearly needs to play 6. He needs to pick his time and spots, play a little deeper which he can do at 6 to take away the rushing and sliding defence of QLD. Only problem is finding a 7 that can do a job with both Moses and Reynolds injured it's probably Niko, who is more a 6 1/2 than a 7. Also for t...

From what I've seen from sanders (one game) and strange is if the focus is on attack than sanders should start with fog next year. Sanders level of playmaking looked miles more comfortable then strange. If it's defense than it's easily strange and fog. If I was managing sanders I would be drilling ...

Raidernation

I think Dylan Edwards will get fullback but turbo is likely also. NSW needs to figure out that QLD is the best cover defence team in football which means the space the fullback can exploit is through the middle which Edwards does and teddy used to do. The biggest test as to weather Madge know what h...

It's time to see Ata in the starting side. He has been pretty underwhelming again this year off the bench. Taps and Ata to start, paps and saulo off the bench with Mooney.

Raidernation

It's all good because we are playing kids and short term pain for long term gain.

Raidernation

Hoppa, with his patented 'sit down' method of bomb taking will be a target. Turbo and Saab will not have to jump for the ball because Hoppa will already be on the ground. Some saying earlier in the week that Ricky would not make 4 changes to the side and then - he did. Hoppa, Cotric, EW and Guler a...

Raidernation

Hoppa comes in and maybe Elliot and that's it I suspect. Billy was right in that you need to give yourself some latitude moving forward. At the end of the day they just have to get some of these players better. Strange needs to learn how to run straight and engage the line to open up some space for ...

Levi has been OK this year, popped up with some tries, distribution generally pretty good, We are not watching the same sport. I admittedly have not seen the last 3 weeks yet, but in the 5 weeks of football i have seen Danny Levi has been the worst starting hooker in the competition this year and i...

Raidernation

We simply cannot run out next week with Levi and Starling in FG they're simply not NRL level footballers. With the spine being so young and inexperienced we can no longer afford to carry these guys. Woolford is no great shakes but he's better than these guys. Get Puru into the #14, he only needs to...

Raidernation

Put on a bunch of kids in the spine and watch the fan base sack the entire team for being rubbish. Must be the reason coaches don't like playing a bunch of rookies at the same time.
It's a sure fire way of breaking everyone's confidence.

Raidernation

On a positive note, the shirts are great.

Raidernation

I agree we need some hight on the wing that can contest high balls. With the mods to the rules it's getting harder to stop contests. If it was me I'm throwing some money to votano at the knights. He has no shot at fullback at the knights with ponga. Will take a couple of years to develop but he coul...

Raidernation

The point about Chevy is interesting though. He isn't particularly rapid, he's not a big player either. His game and development is going to be around effort/usage and footballing smarts/playmaking but he hasn't shown any playmaking to me yet. What this is all coming back to is...... Is Chevy a youn...

Raidernation

We're in trouble now. No fogs.

Raidernation

We need to play more inside balls to the second rowers. Both fog and strange need to do this more. Broncs sliding defence is excellent but they can struggle back on the inside.
Hopefully they figure it out and Chevy supports.

Raidernation

It's a tough game when your fullback is struggling to catch a ball and getting smashed.
Chevy should play this game out though, more for him to realize how far off he is and how much work he needs to put in moving forward.
As we say, it's character building!

Raidernation

Knights all of sudden have had some great recruitment. Schiller as a backup winger/centre with starting upside is a good pick up.

We should look at a winger that's an Arial threat but my guess is we just pull up players from our development system and not make signings.

Raidernation

Levi isn't the issue. His service this year is better than woolfords last year and he is looking pretty good so far. The structure in attack was there but with no fullback to exploit the space created. I lost count of the number of times fogs or the second rowers had acres of space next to them for...

Raidernation

There was space everywhere but Chevy was no where near it. He is 18 and first game but it might be a rough few weeks in attack until raps gets back.
That left side 6, centre and wing are so deep in attack they were no chance. Very disjointed but a win is a win.

Raidernation

If your going to pay sanders 500k than it has to be 4 to 5 years to get a return on investment. I think the 700k to strange is pretty crazy 5 games into his career. I do however accept that the raiders do not try to extract value out of contracts and will generally bump contracts if they believe pla...

Cronk was better than JT. JTs career was over rated. Great player yes but not deserving to be on this list.

Raidernation

Fogs needs to get his goal kicking right. Is been dreadful this year.

Raidernation

The only thing that kills me about Schiller is his lack of effort. Up the effort Schiller!

Raidernation

Mariota is just slinking through games at the moment unnoticed. For me this is game needs to be a bit of a marker for Mariota. I play him at 13 with smithies at 12 to start and he has 30 mins to take it to Parramatta. It'll be a good test because Parramatta are a more physical pack than ours, he get...

Raidernation

Well Turuva first made a household name for himself playing fullback for Fiji and it's his preferred position so I don't think he needs to be "converted". I also don't think 21yo premiership winning fullbacks who can also kill it on the wing are a dime a dozen. Besides, we currently have ...

Raidernation

We were outworked and out enthused, coupled with errors and that's the game. At the end of the day fogs is our half and we know what he does well and doesn't but we do need to see some playmaking from strange at some point weather good or bad. We need to see more from Mariota also. He has really str...

Raidernation

Puru is an interesting one. He looks really fast this year which again is a thumbs up to the fitness coaches but if he is not the back up 13 and that goes to hors if smithies gets injured than I would probably release trev and play him starting 9 with woolford off the bench. If he isn't back up 13 t...

Raidernation

If we were looking at england 9s for me it would be brad oNeil from the warriors. He is a robust 9 who is defensively solid and can play in the forwards. He isn't exceptional but there are very few of those available either here or in England. Other option is one of Newcastle's 9s which for me would...

Raidernation

I had noticed both the mistackles and the low work rate but sometimes you see what you want to see... men lie, women lie... numbers dont 2 games is admittedly a very small sample size and that could very easily normalise over the next 3-4 weeks and i'll check back in on that after round 5 but i too...

Raidernation

As is usual for me, I'll be interested to see how DL performs defensively against the Warriors pack. I was curious about this, because i felt the same about his performance defensively being poor, in both work rate and efficiency, but understanding my own bias i wanted to get a more objective look ...

Raidernation

The players he “lost” left. Hodgo, Bateman, GWilly, Sutton. EW stayed and backed the coach, got rewarded for his loyalty. Not saying it’s the smartest decision by the club because he’s still here 3 years later on big coin and not contributing. But it’s happened. I have no agenda. Ricky makes some g...
