Re: Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart set to sign four-year contract extension

His next job is to win a premiership. If it doesn't happen by 2027-2028 I think he should go. However, what he has achieved with the Raiders is massive. He is putting his chips in on these young guys. For him and for us all I hope it pays off. Yes. Finally. Some agreement IMO you are 100% spot on w...

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

The cap is a joke. I said earlier in the thread he will end up at Rooster for less than market value and it looks like that is exactly what's happening.

Anyone want to wager that the Clearys will end up at the roosters as well?

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

I think Mooney needs to be starting to get the best out of him until he is more comfortable with his position in the side. I also think this would be best for the team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Haha, there are a few problems with our team but middles aren’t one of them. This is madness😄

I wouldn’t be against giving Rapa another 12 months, yes his speed has gone but he offers the team so much more. He’s not in the Whitehead category of being pretty much completely past it.

Schiller at Centre would have been better for me as Hoppa isn't playing there in the future, might as well give him time there (pretty sure it would have been opposite Gagai not Best which is a consideration). Strange was a good move but he had to pick either him or Weekes regardless. I think he wa...
