Raiders to Get Wooden Spoon

Every NRL team’s bold prediction Raiders to get the spoon: The Raiders made the top eight last season, but they will be a vastly different team after the departure of their best player in Jack Wighton. Not only the team’s five-eighth and chief playmaker, Wighton drove standards on and off the field...

Re: 2023 Finals Week 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

The refereeing is key in this game. A few posters have hinted that an ambush could be on the cards based on our experience in finals, and Knights lack thereof.

This is so layered. If he goes, he leaves wanting to win a premiership. The main motivator, clearly it is not money by going to South’s on this reported deal.
