Re: Raiders offer Fogarty new deal to fend off Sea Eagles’ raid

Looking at Fogs manager his stable of "stars" aren't the shiniest in the NRL and very heavy on the Titans side. The circus happening with Galvin at the Tigers is a joke but he is a young kid I would hope someone like Fogs who seems to have his head screwed on and a decent person would pul...

Geez Curran gets away with a lot. Flops constantly and does a lot of second efforts on the ground after a player is held.

Re: Raiders offer Fogarty new deal to fend off Sea Eagles’ raid

I wonder if it's a strategy to get Manly to bump up their offer a little? The club loves him and wants him looked after, but at the same time doesn't really want him for another two years. It looks like a bluff to me.

Re: 2025 NRL Round 7: Teams and Game Day

I missed the Manly game last week but DCE doesn't look like he gives a **** anymore. He's checked out. Manly lucky not to get two players binned in the one tackle. It was a pretty bad hipdrop and also hit him high.

Best game from Strange for quite a while and Weekes as well. Nice to get a boost to our F/A. That was the type of game we've struggled to put away in the past, as we don't handle favouritism well.

The potential is obvious but he is too passive. He is big and has an offload but doesn't get involved enough.
