Re: 2024 NRL Round 7: Teams and Game Day

Klein tried so hard to give that game to the Roosters. Nelson gets tackled 1m out from the line, ball on ground defender on him. He gets up to play it and they push him back over the goal line and get a line drop out. Klein reckons he got up to play on, replay showed he was trying to play it, as he...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I think the lure for Galvin to play alongside Cleary, Yeo, Edwards and potentially win premierships eases some of the money concerns .

Re: Newcastle Knights sign Canberra Raiders back James Schiller

Knights all of sudden have had some great recruitment. Schiller as a backup winger/centre with starting upside is a good pick up. We should look at a winger that's an Arial threat but my guess is we just pull up players from our development system and not make signings. Why can’t we have both; Jed ...

I certainly think calls for Mooney to start in front of Tapine or Papalii are a bit misguided. Let’s see if he can adjust to the speed of NRL before we start making changes like that.

Benefit of him playing the first 25-30 mins is it gives us one less interchange rather then DL starting and finishing.

Have a look at Savages stats compared to Tomoko. These 2 seem to be pushing each other.

Both had 21 runs.
Tomoko had 216m to Savages 205
Savage had 86 post contact to Tomoko’s 82
Tomoko 3 tackle breaks to Savages 2
Both zero missed tackles.
