Yeah that was one of the worst games I've seen from Rapa. A number of unforced errors/knock ons, taking out Savage to concede the first try, getting sin binned for unnecessarily taking out JAC, giving away the kicking penalty at the end and risking getting binned again. I hope that was just some rus...

I think people are seeing a potentially better prospect from the same age bracket who is on the market, who covers a number of other positions.

Finchy

Yeah the Kikau one wasn't a hip drop. If the hip drop definition has been expanded to include landing on your own player (Papalii), then it's a hip drop.

Finchy

Being small is fine if you're like Walsh or Papenhuyzen because they have elite speed and ball-playing to compensate for their lack of size and strength. If you're small and not super fast, you'll want to be very strong and high-effort. Like Blake Taafe.

Finchy

When will we know if Papa is pleading or fighting?

Sharpe. Didn't know he was back already. I guess Armstrong is going so well he won't lose his spot now.

Finchy

Yeah we'll be no chance at Talagi lol. He's Roosters material Apparently he's turned down an extension with Parra. If he hits the open market and the Roosters have about 5 billion to spend now, he's definitely Roosters material. Yay. 5 or 7 billion?? 😂😂 Currency language Australian dollars Euro dol...

Botman would play Smithies at 9 from what I hear

Finchy

Talagi was born in the same year as Chevy. He looks more physically mature though It's a high bar to make it as a long term fullback. You simply can't play #1 and be anything but a very strong contributor anymore, if not an elite attacker of the game. Will Kennedy is probably the least dynamic of a...

Ricky Stuart won 1 grand final with a stacked Roosters side 22 years ago. Missed the finals 11 times. Won a wooden spoon. 50% win rate. Great coach. Trent Robinson won 3 grand finals with a stacked Roosters side in the past 10 years and only missed the finals once. 63% win rate. Fraud. I think that...

Some of you folks must be married to the first person you ever met because you don’t do break ups well! It’s not good business to retain someone until they have proven beyond all doubt that they should no longer be retained. What Rapa has delivered in the past, what he offers now and what he is lik...

Taps game 200 and a one off jersey Roosters should be unbackable favourites Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk We were long odds of winning simply because it's against the Roosters (although Robinson and their squad are frauds apparently). The special jersey and milestone make the loss an absolute...

Geez it was nice to get up and beat 2024 Premiership favourites Canterbury Bulldogs. Well a few here people last season had them as the club to go to for a shot at a Premiership this year. Also a few claimed that Raiders should have instead signed Hutchison, Blake Taafe and Connor Tracey. We don’t ...

Anyone else concerned that all these other 18 year old FB's running around the NRL so far this year have looked well and above Chevy. I'm a bit concerned he won't have the impact we are expecting. I won’t comment on Chevy specifically, as that topic has been well covered in the Ethan Sanders thread...

Finchy

Happy with another year. He looks fit and having the years away from the game makes him a younger body than others his age. He's a winner and that's valuable. Ideally he doesn't make our 17 next year as we will have other options but I'd rather him as a backup than some other plodder. I’m happy for...

The Nickman wrote: ↑May 20, 2024, 6:36 am I'm more than happy with the selections the coach is making this year and the way he's managing almost every position.

The fullback rotation is honestly fine so far.

Thoughts on the hooker situation?

And our best fullback. And probably our 3rd best centre.

And our 4th best five eighth

I like the cut of his jib. What’s a jib? A jib is a triangular sail that sets ahead of the foremast of a sailing vessel. The saying ‘I like the cut of his jib’ means ‘I like his attitude.’ The term originated in the sailing navies of the mid-18th century, when the nationality of warships sighted at...

I thought it was Mr Anapar, who looks suspiciously like Jordy, but with a dodgy mustache.

Finchy

To be fair, other than his goal kicking, I thought Rapa had a few big negative moments in the match

It’s a type of sail.

Thanks dubs. Is the poop deck really what I think it is?

Has anyone done a welfare check on Nickman? I’m concerned he’s passed out somewhere in the stands and the lights are all out. Hopefully the janitor finds him in the clean up

BJ wrote: ↑May 19, 2024, 9:35 pm Yep I think he’s eyeing off Papa’s spot long term.

Our club is on the rise and if these young players kick on, who knows where we could be in a couple of years.

If I was a fringe hooker I’d be looking to try and nab a roster spot behind our forward pack.

Like Levi?

Even in old games Savage wasn’t lacking in effort, just application. He’d get rag dolled a bit and fall off tackles, but he was always trying hard. He’s improved in both areas since 2022. He’s had a moment or two this year where he lacked a bit of urgency covering a kick or stopping a 40/20, but I t...

Finchy

I’m not opposed to him going around next year if he’s still performing. Father Time hasn’t quite finished him off yet.

Finchy

Wow imagine turning down Penrith. Good lad

What's Robbo done? He's recruited very well. I don't think he's developed too many has he? Sits back and asks uncle Nick to open the cheque book.
