Bit of noise in internet land about D Brown going to the Warriors. these internet streets are wild but occasionally true, if the eels were happy to let Brown walk, they'd be keeping Sanders to play LH next to Moses. cant imagine that one but ill follow with interest. Stranger things have happened!

Yeah i thought he looked pretty good in that game too. Had little Patty Carrigan about his game imo... stylistically i mean.
High workrate with the ball in hand and a good active defender

Perfect player to bring in off the bench. I reckon 2025 will do him. Can wrap up his career with back to back premierships. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk If only But alas he's hanging the boots up at the end of this year, as per multiple fox sports articles. A good stint and sad to see it com...

Quitting state of origin has extended his NRL career. I think this is a good call but I fear when the end comes it will come quickly given his age and the rigours of his position. Yeah i think that's pretty spot on. Lolo looked like he was cooked but has really benefited from coming off the bench f...

Vale my sweet prince.
We'll always have 2019

Love Ipap but agree with julian... looks like his edge days might be coming to an end and he'll be a middle moving forward
Which we dont need.

Trey Mooney himself confirmed it after the Dogs game. Brad Arthur confirmed Sanders departure during an interview before his debut. I feel like the club will do a bulk announcement of the youth signings - just emphasise where the future of the club is going. the cynic in me says the club is waiting...

Botman

Whether signed or agreed, TR is correct This deal has been done since about mid last year. And I’m very confident its currently registered and officially done as far as the NRL is concerned As for when you’ll see it on the Raiders.com.au for us fans to get official notice and feel nice and fuzzy? Wh...

He’s been a great servant of the club
One of the best forwards in our proud history. It’ll be a shame to see him hang em up at the end of the year

Botman

Good ****
So there was other fires on the flame when Stuart said they had a few young blokes to announce.

Botman

I don’t think clubs really lodge contracts, get the OK by the nrl and then announce them that afternoon

I’m fairly confident he’s officially signed right now and whether he’s announced by the club tomorrow or 4 weeks from now is neither here nor there for the club

I’m left pondering whether the 2024 squad is stronger or not. I’m not sure it is. I might be wrong, I might be surprised by the new recruits. No really big names on the recruitment list, though. The team needed more pace and strike in the backs, and I’m not sure if that’s there… though there are pl...

The Meninga try from 94 would be in the conversation, the game was won and lost by then which is a draw back, but it's an iconic moment in the clubs history and an exclamation point for our GOAT.

I watched Baby Reindeer before Magic Round and it’s gripping, compulsive watch. Very good television. People might be confronted by it, but worth watching. No idea how much is true, but it’s sort of irrelevant. Sadly, i think it's largely a true story. Obviously not everything is bang on. Something...

My experience with watching a range of different sports lead to me believe that it's not very common that a player slowly ages out and goes quietly into the night. It's not often a downward natural hill, it's a cliff and when you fall off, you fall off hard and fast. I think there are plenty of sign...

Last year NSW Cup was being live streamed and Weekes was playing fullback for the Manly side. He made some great breaks with his pace, he caught the high ball ok but his defence was not a strong suit. Fast forward to the Raiders trial games and again his defence was not a strong suit. Now look to t...

It’s nice when these threads pop up and you know you’re not one of the guys who’s take aged like milk

Yeah Sterlo was great
I’d kill to get someone with his knowledge, professionalism and gravitas back in a commentary booth

I thought Illias looked really good for a young half when he came on the scene, but not only did he not really get better, he regressed Ilias is 24 now, young enough that this could all just be a bad situation and there could be brighter times ahead but this is a last chance saloon before it's caree...

Probably best we left there, folks

They've laid down a pretty serious statement in support: https://www.roosters.com.au/news/2024/05/21/sydney-roosters-statement/ I doubt they'll stand down any of them.

Any thoughts on Brandon smith coming to Canberra as a 50min hooker rotation? It is absolutely reckless to consider it. All evidence is he's a complete loose unit and total **** show off the park. Has been through CB and now Robinson and still cant get it together. Bringing him to a smaller market l...

If we win against the roosters this weekend, my tip is Strange will be selected at 5/8 for NSW to partner Hynes. Absolutely no chance Of either us beating the roosters* or that resulting in Strange being selected for NSW. I think even if NSW were considering it, which they wont, Stuart would be abl...

I admittedly have never listened to Alan Tongue and made some assumptions there, interesting to know he's gone over the top the other way but you get the point... you don't expect to get a lot of neutrality from people in the media who have a clear attachment to a club. Id like to think a guy like G...

James Graham on NRL360 talked about how we got 2 lucky tries, no mention of the great tackle that caused one but also failed to highlight the Dogs got tries whilst we were down men and then didn't score another point when we were at full compliment. He played the majority of his NRL career at the d...

And from my experience following US sports and their draft/scouting processes it’s also what every person in scouting positions says publicly “We’re different here at Organisation X. We really value guys who are competitive and love the game. Those are traits we really prioritise over other things. ...

I would not wanting to be signing up for another year if that game from Rapa was the standard

He made a number of pretty critical errors that hurt the team

The argument of keeping him is that on the aggregate he gives us enough in other games to tolerate the ones like the other night

Botman

I think you’d be wrong about his ball playing
And that it is very advanced for his age and position, and probably one of the elite traits that saw him elevated to this level of prospect

Botman

Annesley runs through a few of these today in his presser for anyone wishing to have a better understanding of this topic. Including quite a compelling argument about the Kikau incident on Nick Cotric, which i felt at the time was a hip drop but on watching that with the explanation i am forced to c...

Chevy has always played against kids his age who were either bigger, faster, quicker etc And guess what?
