Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
This really isn’t intended to be a backhanded complement but will definitely come across as one. Hopoate is pretty much your perfect 18th man. Can fill in anywhere in the outside backs and if you suffered a catastrophic injury/HIA game in the forwards you can chuck him in the middle. I know it’s not...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
Don’t mind Sitili but he has definitely plateaued.
Papalii is an interesting one. He’s been a bit of a let down at Wests. Looks to me like his future may be as a middle forward rather than an edge.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 10: Teams and Game Day
This three quarter line is unparalleled in club football imo.
I’m sure people would think some great outside back combinations of the past are better. They might be. But they wouldn’t compete with them physically. Each of the 4 are deadset the modern rugby league athlete prototype.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita
It will be interesting to see what Roosters do from here. They have, by some distance, the best roster in the NRL. They have several players on significant unders. The stand out ones being Daniel Tupou and Connor Watson. They’ll be under no cap pressure to get rid of any second rowers (it seems like...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
I hate a player call out thread so I’ll just post here. Albert Hopoate should never ever sniff first grade again unless there is no other option. He’s the worst outside back in the NRL. He sucks at pretty much everything. If Rapana isn’t right it needs to be anyone but post the bye. There really isn...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
I have always been of the opinion that the best player in each position at the Club should be picked in that position. Woolford have been the 9 which took the Raiders to the finals in the last two seasons. When Levy left the Knights in 2021 he blamed the Knights coach Nathan Brown. “It was hard, it...

It’s amazing what 3 weeks can do. The super exciting prospect of watching the juniors in first grade has turned into perhaps the most depressing 1-17 I’ve ever encountered as a Raiders fan.
