Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

Not sure how a club can just release a player like this, but I guess it is the Roosters. You can't just decide a player is surplus to requirements while still contracted, particularly after an injury.

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Game Day

On a side note, how does Reed Mahoney consistently get away with leaving the defence line so early and flopping on tackles so late? He got bumped off by someone yesterday and then made one of the latest jump on flops I’ve seen. The refs definitely need him on their tip sheet for his in game boundar...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 11: Teams and Game Day

30 seconds to go. Manly get a 7 tackle set. Koula blows any chance of a quick tap against retreating defence by kicking the ball. Brisbane get to set their defensive line. Manly then play out the last set with two prop hit ups and a second rower hit up. Game over. No backline move, no Hail Mary bom...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 11: Teams and Game Day

Panthers, Storm and Dolphins all playing on Sunday. Any number of injuries could occur with the condition of the ground, and it could have a big bearing on the competition. Glad we played first.

Loved the old fella Whitehead playing Klein like a fiddle in that last few minutes. Great experience from him. We're going to miss him when he's gone. He was pretty ordinary for the last 18 months but there's a twinkle in his toes (and eyes) this season so far. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I still think Schuster is worth a chat. We were quoted saying we're after a backrower with a point of difference. He is certainly that. For the right price ofcourse.

Can we just sign a second rower and a hooker and be done with it? We should be looking at Crichton, zac will be good when he's fit again Agreed on the Crichton point.

I watched the first half (panthers/dogs) to see how they looked but because of the conditions it's hard to take anything out of it. Their defence was good, but very compressed.
