Re: Ethan Strange agrees to terms for four year contract extension
And back to Trey Mooney, last season he was 20 (twenty!) years old and had middles ahead of him who had played Test, Origin and Grand Final level football.

We continue to recruit and develop players with great character I work with someone that knows Jamal through his footy at Beaudesert and he can't speak highly enough about him. So it’s just as well he’s at the Raiders then! Where seemingly the only bar set for a lifetime contract is “good bloke” Se...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews
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. The commentators remarked that he was out on his feet at the 15 min mark and tbh he did F-all in that time so it's a worry. - Hoppa should never play centre (or fb)....

Schiller is an absolute lock.
He's basically running around like an international against under 12's.
His game elevation this year is next level. More Jimmy. Less Nic.

You've all just got a bunch of opinions on things you aren't involved in and don't comprehend the emotions.
You're applying your logic and experiences against someone else.
Stop bashing things where there's personal experiences that feed emotions and just focus on the footy.

Re: The I was wrong about Danny Levi thread
The dude is fine.
The peanuts on here just think that every hooker needs to be Cam Smith.
We've had two guys battle it out and neither have solidified the position.
Levi is a tough bugger and does the hard work. He must also smash it off field to be held in such high esteem within the club walls.
