Re: Why Corey Parker is off Ricky Stuart’s Christmas card list

Agree it’s a dumb article but is it a view that differs from what many have expressed on here when it comes to recruiting players? Also is it wrong that some people wouldn’t want to live in Canberra, others couldn’t cope with Nth Queensland, some hate Sydney and Melbourne might not be everyone’s cu...

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

Well for some context, Supercoach scores players based on actual in-game statistical output such as: tries, try assists, line breaks, line break assists, tackle breaks, hit ups, offloads, goals, tackles. You lose points for negative plays like errors, penalties, missed goals, missed tackles, etc. N...

Glad you've conceded that. I'll continue to form my views on players performances by actually watching the game, you can continue to form your views on players performances based on Neville-nobodies telling you they were "excellent" in a clickbait Fox Sports article.

Interesting little story there about how Penrith identified Schneider as a talent. They played against him a couple of years ago and were impressed with how he handled Kikau defensively.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

If Rapa didn't miss 5 seasons of footy between 2009-2013, he could be playing his 350th game by now. Then again, perhaps his hiatus protected his body, giving rise to his current longevity.

Not many outside backs still running around at 34-35 and delivering much quality footy. Rapa is a beast.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

I can’t see Rapa ever playing NSW cup. He hasn’t had a Croker or EW level decline, he’s giving 110% out there every game. I feel like he creates and sets up more opportunities for Timoko than Fog does. I’m happy for him to stay for another year, he’s earned it. EW hasn’t.

I just watched the game last night and my thoughts on it are: - Whitehead looks HEAVY. I think he's put on weight over the offseason.
