Cam Green scored an unbeaten ton today, 103*. Good to see him grab a score before heading to NZ

Pucovski gets a rare shot at Shield, and grabs a 100 It's funny when I see soo many Facebook experts telling him to retire... it's obvious none of these people understand the enormity of being blessed with the talent to play test cricket for Australia.

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Cowboys forward Luciano Leilua

LL isnt dragging you to wins. But if you in the contest, he has the ability to get you the win with a big play, just like his brother. Like his brother, he can get into a groove too, and when hes on he can put a run of games together. He was still a good player in losing sides, but he is the game b...

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Cowboys forward Luciano Leilua

Noah Martin won't be getting near the NRL this season. At the end of a 3 year deal to Leilua, ideally we have someone like him coming in. A lot of things could happen though. LL is a top 10 edge, top 5 on potential. Noah Martin has played 15 minutes in a trial. Let's get some perspective. I'd pick ...

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Cowboys forward Luciano Leilua

Noah Martin is only 18 years old. He had the physical presence out there of someone in his mid-20's. I'm a big fan of the Leilua clan, but I'm not a fan of blocking the pathway to first grade of genuinely talented youngsters with underperformers from other clubs. And not for $900k.

Re: Raiders re-sign Pasami Saulo to end of 2026

Like most on here, keeping him over Mooney would be lunacy!
However, you need 8-10 quality middles on a roster. As long as he is paid no more than a 5-10 middle, it's fine. Which means player 17-18 at best, but more like 1st or 2nd mid reserve

Warner has played his last game for his country on home soil.

T20 started vs Sth Africa with 89 from 41, and finished vs WI with 81 from 49.

He's 2nd only to Finch for T20 runs, at a avg just under 34.
