Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews

The more I hear comments from within the club the more I think Stuart will be going with something like this: 1. Rapana 2. Hopoate 3. Strange 4. Timoko 5. Cotric 6. Weekes 7. Fogarty If so, this is essentially the team he left 2023 with, with just Weekes replacing Wighton. Remember, Strange played ...

Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

After watching both trials I'm of the same opinion as before. We are in for a roller coaster year. There will be plenty of highs and a whole bunch of lows . If Ricky gives the young rookies a decent amount of games in first grade we will benefit from it in the next few years. All in all I'm excited ...

Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews

I thought rs was banking on youth. Rapana is a great player and he'll do well at fullback, but his time is coming to an end. I would rather he give X a shot just to see if he's up to it. Looks like Ricky has stamped his card as a winger.

With the multi year deal, does the amount stay the same for the length of the contract? Or does it increase in line with the cap?

Re: POLL: Strongest 2024 line up: Bench edge forward/utility

I voted for Mooney as I think he has potential and if he doesn't get a fair go this year surely he will look elsewhere.
Hosking is also tempting as he can cover backrow and centre .
Round 1 team will be very interesting 🤔.

Rapana has a spot as long as he wants it, for mine. So many runs on the board! The other spot is intriguing. I actually voted for Schiller. I think he’s provided a few decent highlights in limited opportunities, but the main rationale is I want Savage at fullback where he can provide game-breaking ...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I always thought,and still do, that Schneider will be a good NRL level half. The Raiders under Ricky have a poor structure and any rookie half is going to struggle. Put him into the Panthers structure and I believe he will thrive. Time will tell I guess.

Re: Penrith Panthers second rower Zac Hosking tours Canberra Raiders HQ ahead of potential move

I think the drop in quality playmakers could be related to the decrease in size of your average suburban back yard. The little blokes of the past learnt a lot of their tricks with a cactus bush defending the left wing.

Trev needs an injury free 24 or I think he's done. It's a crying shame about his injuries, he really did show a lot of promise pre injuries . Finger's crossed he kicks on.

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

Outside backs aren't too difficult to replace, and neither of them will come back to haunt us. Quality halves on the other hand, you have to roll the dice and have a crack. Possibly a superstar, possibly a dud . After fog we have a bare cupboard, so this makes so much sense.
