Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

He’s had an unhappy season so far but if Siua Wong is available given the Fifita signing, he’d be someone I’d be interested in 100% He looked good last season I thought. Fully fit and firing you'd have to be relatively content with: 11. Young 12. Hosking 15. Wong 16. Mariota Yeah, I’d be down for t...

He looked good last season I thought. Fully fit and firing you'd have to be relatively content with:

11. Young
12. Hosking

15. Wong

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

With Fifita joining the Rorters surely they have to part with one of their 87 second rowers?

A fair bit of quality there which would complement Hosking and Young quite well you'd think.

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews

Bulldogs are gonna be a big test next week. Our crash balls aren't going to trouble them too much I have to say. Their defence is pretty impressive. Will need to be able to get some rolls on mid field and hope this can free up Timoko, Kris, Savage, Strange and Weekes to do some damage. Rapana back w...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I've watched Chan Kum Tong a few times in the lower grades now and I don't think he fixes the problem. Surely there is a pommy hooker that's going well enough to justify bringing them over. Fair call. Was mainly basing that judgement on some of the wraps he had. Something needs to change there. We ...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

We're just going to have to look for decent hooker for 2025, stuck with what we have there, and Ricky keeps picking our worst combo. Would 700k land Crichton ? Does the squad need a player like him ? If Woolford isn't getting a look in over Levi then I'd like to see the both of them released. I don...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

There's not much sense in having Woolf in the extended squad. Either there is a smokescreen or, and way more likely, Ricky is trying to send a message to the other two ploders as Bot said.

This call should have been made a couple weeks ago but no doubt we're building up to it.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

I've also never heard of a player "not wanting" to play fullback in the modern era. Hey maybe it is Savage's prerogative and he asked for it, if so then that's just weak I'm sorry. If it's Stuart then it's poor coaching. Either way it's a bit demoralising Also Chevy played two games, not ...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews

I hope Mooney isn't dropped. Feel like he was one of very few having a crack.

Would like to see Puru given a go. As a 14 where he alternates in spelling Woolford and Smithies.

Cotric -> Schiller
Whitehead-> Sasagi
Woolford -> Levi
Puru -> Starling

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

We had 31 tackles into their 20 as opposed to their 12 in ours.

We lost 40-0. Is that one of the most awful stats ever?

If Schiller was staying around for the future I'd be more than willing to give him a bit more lead way and patience however his errors are not justifying us keeping him in the team short term.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

The recruitment has been appalling ever since George Williams has left and it is starting to show. You shouldn’t ever be in the position that you have no back up halfback, a 18 year old fullback who is clearly not ready, a shortage of second rowers to such a degree that you can’t drop a seriously o...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

We could have the game played solely in the Sharks 20 metres for 80 minutes and we'd lose this.

Utterly awful attack and even worse goal line defence.

We can blame our absentees all we want but we have utterly no structure anywhere.

Starling only played 14 minutes even after Fogarty didn’t play the whole second half. He needs to be dropped.
