Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Brendan Piakura, back-rower from the Broncos (free to negotiate from 1/11) would be an excellent pick up.

Re: Peter Hola remains with Raiders in 2024

I've been looking forward to Hola getting a decent run in the top side. Could of quite easily been promoted ahead of Guler who has had some disappointing performances this year. Has good leg speed and strength. Alas, I think he will join a long list of forwards that were never given a proper opportu...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

What does our recruitment officer get paid to do? Cushiest job in the world Pretty sure he focuses only on junior and lower grade recruits where you’d say he was killing it. Ricky picks the first graders to chase. Fair call. Landing guys like Stewart, Sanders and Puru looks pretty good at the momen...

One of the dumbest most talented footballers you would see.

Re: 2023 Rd 5 v Panthers: Teams and Previews

Rapana in for Schiller and Croker in for Smith-Shields. Frawley for Wighton. Can't see Ricky doing much more, I'm even doubtful about Croker but Smith-Shields has been awful. Very depressing looking at our outside back stocks. Got to be the worst in the NRL.

A few clubs sniffing around Cade Cust from Manly. Won't get a run there with DCE, Foran and Schuster. I think he would be a handy pick up if we offer him the 7 jumper and he trains exclusively in that position.

Josh King and CHN would be handy right now.
