Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

A student who has $12000 to lend to someone is not a struggling student. Yes Waqa has done the wrong thing but channel 9 has blown this out of proportion.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2017

According to the Daily Telegraph the Warriors are after Hodgson for 2019 with a fat pay check. Baptiste could be off to the Titans.

There is a lot of 8 point games in the next 3 weeks. Rnd 24: Cowboys v Sharks, Raiders v Panthers. Rnd 25: Panthers v Dragons. Rnd 26: Manly V Panthers.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2017

Angus Crichton only played lower grades for the roosters way back in 2014(sg ball?), would he even have many former team mates in the roosters FG squad? Latrell Mitchell and Joseph Manu to name a few. Maybe we could just sign Chrichton, Mitchell and Manu as a trio. Chrichton was a roosters fan grow...

Re: 2016 Finals Wk 3 V Storm: Game Day

We weren't outplayed. We were out-reffed. The sad thing is that Eddie appears to have become the new bugarelli. He catches either of the main ones he drops and it's a different result. I think our undoing was actually looking for penalties and getting agro at the wrong calls instead of focusing on ...

It will be interesting to see if the Panthers decide to run the ball again on the 5th like they did against the dogs. Our edge defence needs to be wary of this, they have so many players with off loads surrounded by speedsters. In all honesty, I hope they persist with it. You loose so many metres an...

I don't think it was disrespectful at all, if anything it adds rivalry to the game.

Re: 2016 Finals Wk 1 V Sharks: Game Day

Let's hope the refs don't ruin a great occasion today. Last night's reffing was absolutely putrid, probably the worst I've seen all year. It looks like they favoured the home team so let's make some noise and hope the trend continues. May the best team win though (Canberra of course).

Let's hope so. The thing that worries me though is playing the cliche 'finals footy' where everyone digs deep in defence. Its more then just smashing people in a tackle, there can't be any gaps out there or players holding off the ball runner. I'll probably get shot down now :)

Re: Wighton facing a four game suspension

It was a STUPID tackle given the context of the game and what he had to loose. Yes I agree he deserves to get charged for it but if Wightons going down, surely Ennis has to too. The NRL cannot be this inconsistent at this time of year. I feel if he fights it he will get let off or theirs going to be...

Is it worth playing Sezer at 5/8 and Sammy at half? Both their natural positions so might perform as a pair better that way. 5/8th is not Sezer's natural position Nor is it Sammy's.
