Re: Hopeless
Alright we can put that one to bed. Straight from the horses mouth, not happening. That's a shame, thanks mate. No worries SB. Nothing worse than getting your hopes up on these signing speculations that don't eventuate. You'd think as Raiders fans we'd be used to it! Real shame though as he's absol...

You can't overhaul the roster when nobody wants to come here. Well we might be **** then because nothing is going to change under the current setup.

Re: Todd Carney
I'm just glad that the intensive reform program Todd went through at the Chooks was so successful and helped him to become the man he is today.
I hope the NRL take note and agree that it would be the best place for Blake Furgeson to get his life back on track as well.

If Moga can stay fit he would be awesome as well. He's no Mansour but he'd be a huge upgrade on RR.

QLD too sloppy to ever win that. NSW dug deeper and deserved the win.
Having said that I'm sick to **** death of watching teams (both sides and NRL games) just laying in the ruck as soon as they're in the their red zone.
It's making this game **** painful to watch.

As much as I rate Mataora I’m not that disappointed he won’t be back this year.
I think he has struggled playing in the front row and will come back a much better player after a lay off and the Pre-Season.
