2106 Rapana had one of the best seasons of any Raiders winger ever. I will firmly stand behind that statement.

He’s scored more tries than any Raiders winger in a season. He’s about to become the fourth highest try scorer in Raiders history. He’s a very worthy player to include in a team like this. The “favourite” tag is the criteria as well in this poll… I just love his enthusiasm. Nagas very overrated by some, I’m not sure why.Raider Azz wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 12:54 pm 2106 Rapana had one of the best seasons of any Raiders winger ever. I will firmly stand behind that statement.

Re: Favourite All-Time Canberra Raiders team named
That really just proves my point - you’ve pointed to 2016 as a year that Rapa was at his peak, I believe Papa jointly won the Meninga Medal with Hodgo and both Jack and Croker were in the team in prime form yet we didn’t even make the grand final that year.Raider Azz wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 12:54 pm 2106 Rapana had one of the best seasons of any Raiders winger ever.

I’m not saying these blokes aren’t wonderful players who have done great things for the club. It’s not about running them down, it’s about respecting some truly incredible players of the past that seem to be quickly forgotten through exercises like this.
Some of our premiership sides have had the label “greatest ever team” thrown around them and I wouldn’t argue that. I don’t believe a quarter of the current squad would in any way replace some of these genuine legends of the game that we have produced.

Billy, you don’t have to be all sooky, just because it has been shown once again that the bulk of Raiders fans like Jarrod Croker.

You shouldn’t make everything about Croker GE. I’d actually argue if you look at representative records and premierships there is a case that Kevvie Walters should be in the side ahead of Jack. I also agree with the fans that Rapa isn’t in the best side ahead of some of our premiership wingers.

Re: Favourite All-Time Canberra Raiders team named
I voted for Chicka and Noa Nadruku in the GH all time 40 year team. With Noa, not only he was the best Raiders winger at the time, he was the best in the game. In his debut year in 1993, he scored 22 tries in 21 games, breaking our try scoring record. Winning % of 71%. In 1994, 12 tries in 15 games, winning % of 80%. in 1995, winning % of 90% (11 tries in 21 games). in 1996, 21 tries in 21 games.
Chicka, Noa, Nagas and Rapana (in 2016) were a joy to watch and bring back very happy memories for me. The football they played is "Raiders style" attacking football that all football fans loved.

Re: Favourite All-Time Canberra Raiders team named
He played 50 games for the raiders, was a QLD rep player and won a premiership here. He was an outstanding raiders player that unfortunately we couldn’t keep. Are you suggesting he only became a great player because he left the raiders system and flourished at the Broncos?greeneyed wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 2:30 pmOnly if you were selecting your favourite Broncos team... is that your team Billy?Billy Walker wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 2:15 pmYou shouldn’t make everything about Croker GE.

Re: Favourite All-Time Canberra Raiders team named
Guys this is a favourite player team NOT a best player team
I voted for guys like Dane and Troy Thompson
Yes there were better players, but you had to vote for your favourite players
You can't really debate this team is wrong unless guys like Dugan and Finch got in

Re: Favourite All-Time Canberra Raiders team named
Cat speaks the truth. It’s peoples choice. I voted for players I liked watching, which meant my voting was heavily skewed from late 90’s onwards
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.
