Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2022

Can we just medically retire Croker, put Hodgo's cash, save money on replacing Sutton n Elliot by putting jack at lock (and if we are still short retire Whitehead)

And go all in on Ben Hunt

Now I can't be bothered to go check, but from memory in 80 mins of football, I can only recall Kris getting the ball once besides grunt work and timoko zero.

I still feel.Suttons yards after contact and his hitting power are on the increase. He has gone from a slow toiler n developed more power to his game.

There are other middles I'd move on before him

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly cool interest in Matt Dufty

Way I see it is, having a gun attacking FB like him may have got us 3 tries from that period, 3 extra sets in attack that we didn't have to do any defence to get the ball back

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly cool interest in Matt Dufty

Watching this game is exactly the reason I was keen of Dufty, we get so many opportunities early in games n have no real ball players, or even decent agile players, he would have put up some points for us

Also

We score n we get the ball back = less defense

Re: Canberra Raiders join race for Matt Dufty

The irony about people commenting on CNK's passing issues is it was his ball to Leilua that should have seen us leading in the 2019 GF. Beautiful ball in that instance. The real irony is you are trying to defend his passing game and are having to go back two years to mention a decent pass Sent from...

Whitehead to lock fast approaching the Cotric to fullback levels of fascination....I don't understand it.. Do people watch his games? Why change what isn't broken?

If we go down the CNK path we need whiteheed to move to lock and be the in between link guy for the halves.
