Canberra Raiders teen Chevy Stewart set for NRL debut after Jordan Rapana injury The Canberra Raiders are set to give an NRL debut to fullback Chevy Stewart for Sunday's clash against the Gold Coast Titans, after Jordan Rapana aggravated a knee injury. Stewart is only 18 years old but had a spectac...

Stewart should be next up in this situation so I'm more than happy if I'm proved wrong and we see his selection today.

Raiders_Pat

I kinds felt those guys you mentioned had either already played a bit of first grade or were a bigger known quantity than Sanders. But certainly you guys provide some very good examples, it would be interesting to know what their salaries were to change clubs. Would any have been $700k salary cap p...

Thought I'd selected Raiders 13+ in the poll but it has come up with Titans 13+

Raiders_Pat

A lot of people are picking Stewart in their 17 for this game if Rapana is rested, but I think chances of it happening are incredibly slim. Far more likely that Kris or even Savage will go to fullback with Sasagi or Hopoate to go to the centres. Hard to speculate on how we might line up without kno...

Raiders_Pat

Starling certainly hasn't been killing it but I don't think we have a utility in the team who has the capacity to play big minutes at hooker in the case of an injury. I could be wrong about that but there isn't anyone in the forward rotation that jumps out to me. So based on the assumption that we ...

Starling is the luckiest bloke to make the 17 each week without a question imo. Maybe he brings something to the squad off the field that I don't see, but I agree 100% with others that he's not adding any value on the field. Levi, Hopoate and Saulo you can all make arguments for even if there are ot...

Raiders_Pat

You only have to look at halves we have had over the past 20 years - Ethan Strange 5 games into his career has the potential to be better than all of them. He doesn’t seem to have any glaring weak points to his game. Let’s go all-in on him. If we don’t, someone else will… Yep. Those saying $700k is...

Raiders_Pat

At probably a bottom four side. I know that when there were rumours of us first getting him I checked the Eels forum for their viewpoint. A few made this exact comment - why would you go to Canberra who are likely to be a bottom four side and ruin your career. I laughed at the time but I can see wh...

Raiders_Pat

Ata playing second row is ridiculous really. Just play Sisagi there. He might not be a very good option at least he could actually have the mobility to play there I doubt Mariota will play much more than the opening 20 minutes at second row. Barring injury he will come back on in the middle for the...

Saulo literally offers nothing, he looks like he runs hard but that's it Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk People say he's got a quick play the ball speed but looking at stats from the weekend his average was the slowest of the four props. Even if we were to accept this false conclusion that he ...

Bloke just hasn't knocked on the door, he's ripped it off its hinges.

And it's not like he has guys in front of him who are performing well enough to keep him out of the team. That is the most frustrating part.

Raiders_Pat

Don't mind Sasagi in, he played very well on the weekend Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Happy for Sasagi to come into the side but Mooney had to be given a shot after unfairly missing out on the weekend and our second unit performing so poorly/losing all of our momentum imo. One of Horsburgh o...

Ok I've had time to calm and think more clearly. I think this is a big chance to make a statement. It's a shame Hosking is unavailable. 1. Stewart 2. Savage / Hopoate 3. Kris 4. Timoko 5. Rapana 6. Strange 7. Fogarty 8. Mooney 9. Levi 10. Tapine 11. Young 12. Whitehead 13. Smithies 14. Puru 15. Sis...

Raiders_Pat

I think bringing Woolford into the side would see an immediate improvement in our go forward. Our clear strength as a team is our forward pack and our pack has been beaten two weeks straight. I still think Levi's service and guile is not good enough. I like the other things he brings to the side bu...

Raiders_Pat

To add to the above, what I can't understand is why we aren't developing Puru for that hooker/lock hybrid 14 role. He has the skillset to be much better at this type of role than Havili for example, who one could argue was almost the pioneer for it in the current era. His service from dummy half can...

Raiders_Pat

Hooker is by far the biggest problem with our spine right now, although Danny Levi is playing better than many of us expected, and Woolford by all reports is killing NSW Cup. The true weak link is the 20min or so of Starling coming onto the field, the team lacks all direction in that period, and he...

Raiders_Pat

That was a disgraceful performance. We needed to win in the middle, and instead allowed the likes of Mcinnes and Williams to make us look silly. Embarrassing.

If there's one thing our boys know how to do well, it's through the middle

Raiders 13+

Raiders_Pat

We have too many forwards as it is - up until this week, mooney, horse, ata, puru and even hola playing cup footy. Even when whitehead and ( if ) papa retires this year ( which I don’t think he will ) we are still overloaded I don't think it would be all that difficult for us to release one of our ...

Raiders_Pat

Robson and Marshall-King are both free to negotiate in November I believe. If we've got cash to splash then why not get the ramp out again and have a crack? It will at least push up their prices and if we're lucky enough to land one then we're in a great position. We would want to be applying pressu...

Raiders_Pat

J Brailey excess to requirements at Newcastle, Smoothy or Mozer at broncos but both on contract, Brad Arthur's son at Parra and Hands looks decent too. Soni Luke might want a payday, Tyrone Wishart might like to start at 9. There's heaps of options Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk Is Hands gett...

Raiders_Pat

Slim pickings for that position. The only starting hooker I can see coming off contract is Mitch Kenny. Next in line is Karl Lawton who's currently backup to Croker at Manly. ESL? Might be the only viable option. Worked last time. I don't know much about players available there can't make any sugge...

Raiders_Pat

Next year we will have Whitehead (estimated $600,000), Cotric ($600,000), Rapana ($500,000) coming off contract and do t look like being resigned. Coupled with the potential medical retirement of CHN. I would have thought there’s enough to sign both Fifita and a decent hooker. Given we may potentia...

How tf does Horsburgh not come back into the side? Wild

Raiders_Pat

Okay that was a bit of a surprise

I agree, but Saulo has only played 25-30 mins a game so I reckon he goes back to NSW cup for more minutes

Raiders_Pat

I predict Kris in for Cotric and Horsburgh in for Saulo as the only changes

Raiders_Pat

If it gets that bad he will be dropped. Right now though he is our number 3 backrower and his minutes on the weekend reflected that status. You need 3 backrowers in the 17 so unless there is someone in cup doing better in that position it's Whiteheads to lose. Ata, Mooney, Guler and Saulo aren't in...

Raiders_Pat

Based on what? Your opinion? And you saying he'd be in the mix for those clubs is also based on... drum roll please... your opinion? See how that works? :lol: That's the point though. You don't like Levi so you notice all the negative things he does. It's called confirmation bias. He is an average ...

Raiders_Pat

Have you actually watched those teams play? Because I have and rest assured Levi based on output thus far isn’t playing ahead of any of Lussick, Randall, Verrills, Smith, Watson and Croker.
