I’m more than happy with what Levi is providing at present, it’s Starling that’s the glaring issue in the attack right now. The sooner Woolford comes in to the 14, the better. Agree that Levi has been solid and Starling exactly what we have come to expect - unstructured and erratic with below avera...

The cup vs first grade debate is age old. But in the last 12-24 months there have been a few people who have clearly looked a step above cup while playing that level: -Mooney -Strange late last year -Schiller this year -Savage late last year -Chevy in patches -Levi last year (as much as I dislike th...

His form last year definitely deserved a first grade gig. He was excellent, but wasn't dominating consistently near the level he has been this season. Ata was the pick of the bunch at that level. However, Mooney was deservedly given a couple of cracks in First Grade. Hard to crack a rotation with T...

We’ll happily after a couple of cup stints it seems he has finally leapfrogged Emre in Stickys eyes.

Next up, Saulo.

Coastalraider

I doubt it.

My expectation is Hokinson back starting edge, Mariota to the bench and Sasagi back to cup. No other changes unless through injury.

I bet all this rain is throwing another spanner in the works. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Don’t know to be honest, the 2 usual issues are cliff instability and the valley water levels as it’s part of the Sydney water catchment. Both issues usually come from sustained rain for long periods ...

Hell yes!!! I just checked the times and saw that a great result mate, onwards to Comrades!

Coastalraider

Strange will go under the radar a bit because of the style of footy he’s playing - different coaching approaches. Sticky has usually been one to restrict the input of kids while they find their feet. - ie limited movements around him, no kicking etc. Benji has thrown Galvin the keys and said go nuts...

Just for **** and giggles should we get out the ramp in here, and see how long it takes Fox staff writers to report we are offering $750k?

UTA does have a mod on the usual course as the area known as ‘landslide’ had another - you guessed it, landslide! Talking to the RD last week and it should be a good plan B this year.

Saving like crazy for EU…

Good to hear you’re wife is training the house down, hope you get back to it safely.

Training going well mate, just laying the bricks. Did 6foot track a couple of weeks ago and found it quite easy compared to last time, and ‘accidentally’ ran a 15-20 min PB, so the plan is working.

We have to keep asking these questions, but stop airing them in public.

My major issue with Starling is that any squad he has played with over the years has no indication of when he will run, or what do do when he does. The tigers are starting to have systems coached into them for when Api goes for a scoot - ie xx position players go AS SOON as the run starts… Starling ...

Just to add an alternative theory here, would the naysayers change their tune if the first press release came out like this? ‘I went to the Titans because I believed that it was a project that was going to help me reach my full potential as a footballer. Over the past few years I’ve had fantastic co...

So… objectively.. Is money winning the internal prop battle as everyone thought he would?

As much as I want to see Horse back in the team, if Mooney doesn’t get the gig after being named 18th man this week and literally blowing the doors off NSW cup, surely that the end of the road for his career at the raiders. And not saying that Horse isn’t a better player, but for whatever the offie...

What odds we sign him and add him to the middle rotation!

Coastalraider

Father time will come for Papa and it will be sooner than later, and with him being off contract at the end of this year it is certainly something to consider and monitor going forward... we need to be careful how we handle that contract for sure It's also worth noting how deep we are at middle for...

Coastalraider

Let’s hear about how, in a very tight and physical game, we completely wasted our first interchange by giving Whitehead a ceremonial run around before bringing our most in-form player on?? And then late in the match we doubled down on ceremony and put Smelly back in the middle when the game was on ...

Coastalraider

Strange and Fog have had high tackle counts both weeks. I guess teams are seeing a weakness there or trying to avoid the middles. Left and right edge defenders were a serious weakness of the raiders last year due to a couple of players making bad reads or lateral inefficiencies. Toots and Jack are ...

Coastalraider

With the caveat that yes there are some inner workings we won't be privy to... The overwhelming likelihood is that Sticky relies on senior players, the captain in particular, to drive standards in the dressing room and on the training field etc. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence going way back t...

I think a run in NSW Cup is not necessarily a bad thing. Just wish it was Guler not Ata Guler didn’t play a single game of cup last year according to RLP. And now Ata’s been dropped and Guler is playing Even as a public defender of Guler it pains me to say at this stage (and it could change) Guler ...

Dropping Hosking and Mariota....not naming Horse. So much inconsistency with the old "picking on forn" spiel. Hmmm that is a fair point. You could throw in the "winning team" that was used quite a bit last year to justify selections. This is a continual theme though. Depending o...

Coastalraider

The thing is that props regularly stand out when shifted to the edge because they are bigger bodies running at backrowers and halves.

What was impressive was his defence out there, which isn’t always the case with props out wide that lack the lateral mobility that Ata has.

Coastalraider

Saulo still isn't bending the line, he revs up but just doesn't seem to be able to handle the initial contact like our other forwards. I would argue that his play the balls are quicker than any other forward that always provides for the next play. I have been his biggest critic but he’s actually be...

Coastalraider

I actually think it’s pretty easy I think he’s flat out a better player right now than both. No development needed But it’s a winning team and winning well. A “tough” call will need to be made for Hors, but for me that’s not tough Would you drop Emre for Trey going into next week? We just won by 20...

Yeah the last decade of raiders players have a habit of jumping at non existent shadows.., I remember reading this off-season that Papa was out to prove the doubters wrong.., who on earth was doubting Papa??? Where do they get this nonsense? There’s plenty of noise around a few players here, but in ...

You've all just got a bunch of opinions on things you aren't involved in and don't comprehend the emotions. You're applying your logic and experiences against someone else. Stop bashing things where there's personal experiences that feed emotions and just focus on the footy. Unfortunately, there is...

I think one thing this shows is that Ricky Stuart is faultlessly a man of his word, and it is unbreakable. Only problem is, last year when he promised Hoppa he wouldn't lose his place in the team if he went to his sister's wedding it appears he's taken it all too literally. In 2038 Hoppa will be th...

But apparently to regi...

Coastalraider

It is a very pleasing win and really does give us credibility as a club. Remember many people didn’t want us playing the opening Thursday night match of the season so to go and put in such a big performance in front of a big audience is massive. You also have to say that Ricky has justified the way...

Coastalraider

Anyway, that's a very good team named. Some well deserved selections in Strange, Savage, Cotric and Smithies. Interested to see Papa start. I genuinely thought Mariota might have been given a crack. Hoppa is a seat warmer for Kris, so I'm not too fussed about that one. Hopefully he can tackle, but ...
