Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

That was quite some team. Possibly the best club side any UK sport has ever seen. But that wasn't my point. Have a look through the Saints, Warrington, Salford teams, etc. They'll be peppered with players from the junior clubs in Wigan. There's nowhere quite like it. Yeah, I love the idea of scouri...

Re: Trey Mooney inks big extension with Raiders

100% - sticky is a big draw for players to come to Canberra. Plus he can develop players with the best of them. If you are worried he isn’t technical enough, that’s that assistance coaches are for. Yeah, I don't agree with everything Stuart does with team selections or his sometimes brain explosion...

Re: Trey Mooney inks big extension with Raiders

Good news.

Never in doubt in my mind that he wanted to stay.

Whether the punters like it or not these kids clearly love playing for Ricky. That's why they are signing and that's why the club is backing the coach long-term.

Re: Ethan Sanders signs three year deal with Canberra Raiders

I'm honestly bracing for Ethan Sanders just to turn out to be Ricky Stuart with a hat on backwards. If he ends up with similar playing ability to Ricky Stuart he can wear his hat whichever way he chooses! I am hoping the delay in the Club release is that a player swap is in the works. Well, we defi...

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

Maybe the NRL grew a set and actually told the Roosters their proposed deal was bogus when they lodged the offer. Edit - no, it doesn't look like that at all. The whole thing is a farce. Fifita and his manager need to grow up a bit and just get on with it. The Titans management should also be ashame...

I've stumbled into the Greenhouse therapy thread. [emoji23] No strong opinion from me here. The coach is the one signing these young spine players and they all seem to love playing for him.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I still think Schuster is worth a chat. We were quoted saying we're after a backrower with a point of difference. He is certainly that. For the right price ofcourse. Crichton seems like a risk as he will command a lot more money - only started playing well in a contract year, mental health concerns...

Good team.

If our forwards don't turn up for a big game here they're having a bubble bath.

I'd like to see Mariota start and Papalii off the bench.

Surely Cotric keeps his spot.
