Re: Shaun Fensom set to join Cowboys

Taumololo never plays 80 anyway. Generally plays 55-60. Fenno could play lock when he comes off then play 20 or so front row. If Aiden Tolman can play prop, Fensom can. Would do a similar type job

Re: Sharks want Edrick Lee

Everyone remembers the try Eddy bombed in the prelim but just as crucial if not more was the try he butchered in the Sharks semi. 12-0 up Crokes puts 1 on his chest he dropped it cold over the line. Would've been 16-0. Sharks weren't coming back from that. The game turned on it. Now I love Edrick as...

Re: Croker out injured

Honestly can not believe some of these 'solutions' I'm seeing on here, and they're serious too. Turner to centre is deadset the very, very obvious option. He's really not suited to the bench utility role to start with considering he's too big to play hooker. He's played 229 ESL games and the vast m...

From about rd 1-10 Milf was phenomenal. If he maintained that form all season there'd be no contest, but he deadset went missing after that. Only blinder I remember him having in the 2nd half of the season was against a Parramatta reserve grade side.

Yeah there has been no real standouts at 5/8th. Austin had an injury interrupted year and was pretty average at times, so it's telling that he is still included among the best. Plenty of good halfbacks though. I think all it tells is that Raiders fans vote heavily on these things, to be perfectly h...
