That’s it - horse is inevitable, Mooney is uncertain

Also, whether it’s Horse or Mooney, this will be our strongest line up of the season which is exciting.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

I really hope they get Mooney in and then re-sign him in the coming weeks. I can cop losing Puru (although I would rather not) because we have really good lock options with Smithies and Horse. I haven’t see enough of him at 9 see whether he can develop into a better option then what we have but he i...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

As long as your back 5 are digging the ball out of your own end at the start of each set it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Cotric/Hoppa or Schiller/Savage rucking it out along with Rapana/Kris/Timoko. Someone has to do it either way, just because Hoppa carries the workload when he ...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I’m hopeful this is the beginning of a forward rotation and we see Trey Mooney given a start and him and Ata become too good to drop… then they re-sign him 😂

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

We’re bloody close! In what universe is Whitehead more effective in a squad than Horse with a Mule on the bench. Guler played his biggest minutes last week so strange reasoning but my god I love it.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

6. Asi 7. Brown Sanders has played 3 games of NSW cup to date, I wouldn’t put him in just yet maybe if it was round 10 or so. In saying that, his kicking game is better than both of Brown’s and ASI’s so I could see them naming him. FWIW, I think he does come to the raiders next year and i hope he do...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

I hate that the tuning point was the Tapine no try… I think we win if that goes our way.

Warriors made the most of the their opportunities from some individual errors. In general we look good and on to next week.

Need a big game from our bench forwards - let’s hope Guler and Saulo can show the fans why they have been picked and repay the coaches faith.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

Adam Cook is looking decent in cup and the trial game but he hasn’t played first grade since his cameo for us… point is, we don’t have a backup halfback.

The long term goal is
1. Chevy
6. Strange
7. Sanders
16. Guler

So let’s get him playing in a better NSW cup side with Chevy asap.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Whitehead still needs to be better than serviceable - Hoskinsings is a point of difference for us in attack, a top 2 tackler (only behind smiths chips), and averaged about 110 running metres. Only a small sample size but Smell hasn’t averaged 100 meters since pre covid. He needs to be very good to w...

Low key I genuinely think the club thinks Horse has another week - he doesn’t need to return via cup. It’s suspension unlike the 36 year old second rower. Also because I’m still annoyed at the Guler selection… 2022: 76 run metres per game 2023: 87 run metres per game Career average of 0.83 tackle b...

I can cop Hosking for this week that is assuming he comes on after 20 minutes and Elliot goes into the middle rotation.

I don’t think Whitehead is even available this round. Imagine Horse comes in for Ata then Whitehead for Saulo round 4 with Hosking to the bench…. Sticks done pretty well with team selections so I’m optimistic it won’t be that.
