Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

We've got genuine speed on both wings. When was the last time that happened? Gafa and Graham? Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Gafa? :roflmao Gafa wasn’t fast. Milne, Zillman and Graham were flyers. But we’ve had some plodders (speed wise) in the backs. Howell, Mogg, Purtell, Kelly, Monaghan, Fr...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Levi generally starts tailing off pretty quickly into the season. That looked to have begun last night. Let's all hope our coach isn't on a personal vendetta and selects him for 20 rounds like Kris last season before softly admitting there's someone better for the role. Whitehead over Hosking is jus...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Frustrating one. I think with a properly selected team we would have had a lead going into that final quarter. As a Raiders fan you do just need to accept that names will often outweigh merit. Been that way since 97.

Or… and go with me here, I know it sounds crazy… but perhaps Stuart might simply have the players he selected in front of Mariota and has consistently selected in front of Mariota, still in front of Mariota? Much was made of Ata starting the final 2 games of last year and many of us assumed he’d ju...

Just when you think Stick may have turned a corner he comes out and selects a team based on what players did 5 years ago. Disappointing.

I'm ok with Hoppa over Cotric. Hoppa is more effective carrying the ball out of trouble... Cotric crabs sideways and gets dominated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I agree with you Dusty I don't.

Re: 2024 Rd 2 v Tigers: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I'd have selected Cotric but there just isn't a massive gap between the two. Do you prefer an extra 50m/6 involvements out of Hoppa or a solid defender in Cotric. The part I'm really happy about is Kris back at home at left centre. * this assumes Stick doesn't do a Stick and swap the centres to thei...
