This series does have a whiff of 2020 about it. Qld played above themselves in game one and got the big upset, NSW dominated game 2 and you expect that normal service has resumed. But then inexplicably Qld win game three. Potentially the same thing here. By rights, NSW should win game three comfort...

Burton, Wighton and Mitchell all play at left center. I don't know that Mitchell will have the match fitness to play but stranger things have happened. I reckon Jack will be moved to the right center position with Burton staying on the left. This will leave the Burton/To'o left side intact. Crichton...

What a fast and entertaining match. The first half has flown by. 14-12 to the Blues and every player having a crack. Yeah a good game! Who do you see getting up from here Red? Sorry Billy, I went to get a beer and then the game came on and I didn't get back to the GH. Go the Blues. Deciders at Lang...

Starlings talent is to use his pace for a fast dash at the line. Someone seems to have told him to stop and pass the footy. It is confusing him. I hope he goes back to taking on the line and hopefully coming out the other side when he runs at a tired forward, rather than the stutter steps and lookin...

Does Luke Priddis have a son? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk :roflmao :clap: Good one Boney. Happy if we do sign Zac Woolford based on his form since he came back here and got his chance in FG. Defensively strong. His passing game is top notch and it looks like he has developed a kicking game...

I went Mullins and reluctantly Croker. Mullins broke open defenses with his pace but unfortunately faded. Croker is a favorite of mine and I remember him playing busted so many times and in different positions. This was the toughest one to leave out for me. I'm glad it is a Top 10. Imagine the angst...

If we are going for a utility for next year I would prefer us to be looking at an Adam Keighran type player. Aged in the mid 20's and able to cover 2 spine positions (9 and 6) as well as center and he can kick goals. Would not be overpriced either. BadNMean, how do his stats look?

RedRaider

Agree with most, Whitehead and Starling are major issues. Don’t see either being dropped. Also agree with mickey_raider, that despite Fog looking average, those repeat sets are big, and that grubber combo with Savage is the best set play we have outside of ‘pass it to Wighton’ or ‘hope for a good b...

For the criticism of Fogarty, he forced a few repeat sets and had one try not scored because of a milk bottle and another because of a Savage miss / Timoko knock-on. He wasn’t great, but he did some good things. Exactly right President Clinton. I think he is developing a nice combination with Savag...

RedRaider

Mission Accomplished - 2 competition points. If you didn't get excited with Hudson Young's effort at the end check your pulse. Savage's catch for his try was fantastic. Timoko burning his opposite number for his try and Cotric with a hit and spin for his try showed we have some good young players wi...

RedRaider

Half Time 14-6 to the Raiders. The forwards playing well and I have to say the backs are showing what they are capable of. Savage looking good and Timoko. Cotric good under the bombs even though his opponent is much taller. Up to the Raiders to keep applying the pressure and push on to win the game.

It's winter and those annoying Canadian Club 'Who made beer the boss of Summer' ads are STILL going. They must be trying to kill NCIS ratings.

RedRaider

Selfless person and good Clubman. Watching him come through the juniors I thought we had a possible Rep player. The NRL showed up some defensive frailties he was not able to overcome. Sticky even played him at hooker in scrums so he wasn't isolated. If footy is in his future I hope he finds a good C...

RedRaider

Yep, Arnie gambled and won. Not often does swapping out the Captain come up trumps but it this case it did. Congrats to all involved with the Socceroos.

RedRaider

Is that because it’s a kick that Jack is not very good at, and one he doesn’t choose when he should? Which might be improved by… moving Jack out of the halves? I think they play to the coaches instruction gangers. The coach’s instruction doesn’t include playing for repeat sets? I’m not buying it… F...

How did Mr Whippy go, boney?

RedRaider

Until the next crop of youngsters (or outside purchase) comes along and are FG ready I would not be moving Jack. Three days previously he was one of the best for NSW in State of Origin. To recover in 3 days would be incredibly difficult given the pace of that Origin match and the physical contact in...

Our defence let us down tonight. Badly. Try 1 - Mann steps past EW easily for a simple running 5/8s try Try 2 - Lee pushes off Kris, 1 on 1 and gives his winger an easy try Try 3 - Raiders D too compressed.

Raiders lead 18-16 at half time. Payne Haas has a shoulder injury for the Bronco's. C'mon Raiders apply pressure with and without the ball.

RedRaider

The HorsPower prediction of him to start has come to pass. Bronco's without their regular right center and right winger. Former Raiders junior Brenko Lee into the right center position for the Broncos. With Kris at left center for us it means two power players will be opposing each other. That shoul...

15 players left on the list and 3 to be removed. All are highly valued by Raider fans. The core of the Premiership run was Mal, Sticky, Badge, Daley, Clyde, Boxhead. They are must stays imo. Wiki, Furner, Mullins were good at the back end of the run. Lazo is an all time great for 3 Clubs. Some fine ...

Socceroos beat UAE 2-1 to progress closer to a World Cup position. They must beat Peru next up to qualify. Here's hoping they can qualify for the biggest football event on the planet.

I’m a NSW supporter (full disclosure) and there was nothing wrong with the DCE try. That’s not where the game was lost… The bench is where QLD outplayed us. Agree GM about the DCE try. NSW back row were in such a hurry to get to the right side QLD outside backs they took their eyes off the bloke wi...

RedRaider

Congratulations to Qld. They played at a faster tempo than NSW. The NSW halves seemed constantly rushed in attack. In defence I thought NSW were looking for the 'next' play rather than focusing on the man with the ball. We saw it in many Munster breaks and the DCE try from the scrum base. Next up in...

With Papa playing Origin I think we may see HorsPower start this game. He made a fair go of starting against the Chooks and he was on for long minutes. It was almost a practice for this week and I have to say a smart selection choice by Sticky to give him the run last week. He could have started wit...

I'm not sure CHN will have cleared his COVID time out by next Saturday.
I reckon Rapa will be lucky if he only gets a fine. Contact with the head.

RedRaider

Very happy with the two competition points and the defensive efforts on our line. Young probably had the best defensive game I have seen from him. However he and Hors have to know that pushing players in the back is a dumb play. Horspower got a long run to start today and I hope it happens again whe...

Raiders lead 12-6 at half time. Some great defence on the line by the Raiders. We have the strong wind in the second half. Xavier great hands for his try. Good line running by Elliott for his.

Very impressive by Erindale College. Here's hoping the Raiders can retain the bulk of the side within the Junior system.
