Strong side and Best is looking good but I can't really agree with Scott and Best being on par. Best has just started his career. Scott has had favourable matchups against some of the strongest sides in the comp and appeared in 2 grand finals, winning 1.

Zimply the best Round 4: Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights Guidelines 1. Pick the strongest 17 you can by combining the Raiders and their opponents for this round. 2. If a player is listed in this week's 21 they can be in your 17. 3. Players can slot into any position you can realistically just...

Wouldn't hold your breath on "decent" replacements for Bateman, Collins and Murchie. They'll all be min wagers. I think we'd have to strike gold to pick up "decent" at this stage of the season.

zim

I can see the argument about looking towards the future, but I agree. I'd be picking Rapana. He was fantastic against Melbourne.

Well.. We have a premiership to win and JohnBoy is an important part of that mission. Win me a premiership and the 30 of them can walk.. This gets my vote :thumbsup . I'd gladly leave life behind and live off the grid mate.. We just want a premiership.. Give me that and I'll die happily..the very n...

This is all getting a bit stupid now. IF JohnBoy is in contact with Wigan..why ? why ? did he bother coming to AUS ? Sort ya **** out..yes I want you to extend and bleed for our jersey but stop screwing with us. Found this old article when he signed with us https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/raiders-...

Wigan would have lost 22-6 so I guess in his imagined scenario he would want more involvement.

zim

After that 3 year return deal was spoken about when he initially signed Bateman said it was nonsense. It was wishful thinking on Wigan's part. Could still easily work out that way.

zim

As far as I'm aware he didn't have much choice in this case. The quick flight meant he did it from the bus. That's why there is comment from him but no video.

zim

JWH just re-signed till 2023. But Asu Kepaoa is off contract. That'd take him to about 34/35 wouldnt it? I know he's a hard **** bastard and a great forward but i dont know if he's gonna hold up that long! Impressive if he can. Yeah he'd be 34. I don't expect him to see out his contract. The rooste...

zim

There was certainly some bad blood... i dont know that PV would be eager to back and play under Ricky, and im less convinced Ricky would want to bring PV back into this team unless there was some concessions made on both sides But it's simply not going to be viable because the cap implications are ...

Josh Hodgson interview on NRL 360: Been a good start, never an easy thing to go to Melbourne and win. George Williams' skill is second to none, we knew that. The new rules probably suit his game, he likes taking the line on and being aggressive. Good to have two halves who like to run and take on t...

zim

I wasn't a fan of the rules watching the titans game. It was so sloppy it felt more like 9s. Watching the better teams get into it though I think it's an improvement.

zim

You'll have to be more specific.

zim

He certainly doesn't seem like a player that lifts the squad up around him.
It's just time for a change. Even the guys that do pump the other players up like Tariq and Graham seem to have lost it.

zim

Playing for Mary might have just sucked the motivation out of him. If they punted Mary and promoted Shane Flanagan I'm sure he'd have a lot more pep in his step. A great injection of enthusiasm if you will.

zim

Had to be dejavu with Eddie and that pass he couldn't hold on to in Extra time - like the Cronulla 2016 semi final and Melbourne 2016 preliminary final. Eddie needs it straight on his chest to catch them, 2 cm off and he cannot. Cotric opposes him next week. No the pass he got this time was a bad p...

zim

If I was looking for a new fullback Tex Hoy would be a good target.

zim

Knights defend better without Barnett and Fitzgibbon on the edges. Huge effort from their reserves. Guerra with a vintage performance.

1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Jordan Rapana 3. Jarrod Croker (c) 4. Curtis Scott 5. Nick Cotric 6. Jack Wighton 7. George Williams 8. Josh Papalii 9. Josh Hodgson (c) 10. Emre Guler 11.

Bulldogs and Titans should be all over him.

howd the Murch go?

Gave away 2 set restarts early. I think he looks slow. But early days. There is worse in first grade going around and he'll get better as he settles.
His carries are strong. It's defense he needs to work on.

Round 3 The Fallout What a game. Incredible win by the Raiders, and boy o boy was it an error leaving Williams out of the strongest 17. He was the best spine player on the field. Joseph Tapine also with a fantastic performance. Cameron one year too long Smith, booted. Adjusted for game day 17: 1. C...

3 Williams
2 Tapine
1 Hodgson

**** YEEEEEAAAHHH

Vossy : "During the dragons game some of their cardboard fans left early."

zim

Also Brett Morris. Incredible effort to stop both players on the break then back it up with another tackle. Strong in the air too.

zim

Not really surprising to see Klein ref things differently. He always does things differently to the rest.
Teddy 295m. What a **** unit.

zim

Heh, my sleuthing from the photos was way off.

zim

Origin is going to be stupid fast.

zim

No Rapana in the captains run. Didn't see Starling either so guessing the 19 will have Kai O'Donnell and Matt Frawley in it.
Boys looking fit.

zim

I've wondered how players deal with that as far as a work place goes. You know your boy just got topped up 200k and then they tell you that there's no money for the upgrade you've been chasing. Shout me a few coffees mate.

zim

I saw Paul Gallen was offering his services. We missed out on Greg Bird. Time to right some wrongs.

zim

Broncos had half the possession, so of course their playmakers were non existent. They don't bomb those two tries and they're right in that match. Fifita and TPJ add a lot of impact to that side. But great to see them getting spanked. Yeah this is it. If your side has 36% possession your problems a...
