Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
still a ways to go - stop running a panic circle before passing sometimes- red zone attack- stop being bottom 1-4 in the entire comp for both try causes and lb causes for hooker defensive play- register a single actual try assist or line break assist now that we are 25% through the comp...

Re: Newcastle Knights sign Canberra Raiders back James Schiller
If we have to lose one... it's a 3/4 who is sure he's a centre not a winger. We have a couple of pretty good centres signed years ahead already- despite Schiller' talent. And Schiller seems to want to play centre- and I agree with him from what I've seen and have posted so for some time. You can sig...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
There is a lot of talent coming through the juniors but unlike last year if they lose a few of these emerging squad players there isn't a lot busting the door down at the moment.

Re: Coaching issues
Not to forget we had a first game fullback and a 5/8 with all of 5 games of NRL experience. Easy to blame the coach for not playing rookies and then when we run out with a backline that average 21 years old, except for Fogarty, we blame the coach because the backline looks clunky under pressure.

Re: Coaching issues

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews
I think Schiller should hold his spot. He's got a very good try scoring ability- he can finish with speed, he's athletic in the air and tall (becoming more important in the short drop out era in a number of ways too) and he has that bit of creative unexpected spark too. Based on last season, I think...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day
Fogarty really needed that field goal. His last kick in normal time and golden point before that were absolutely disgraceful. Stewart had a good debut but I’m not sure he can sustain that style of play for a season at his age. I think Rapana back in post by will be good timing. I think Stewart has ...

Not sure that Woolford is a suitable bench player. He is solid and good at delivering crisp ball to get the forwards rolling forward and defends well but doesn't offer much in terms of a running game and basically every time he kicks its a disaster. Starling at least brings a change in style that m...

Schif had good acceleration which could put him through the line. Top speed over distance nothing special.
