Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Ricky was quoted saying he thought Mrs Badger had done a good job. In hindsight maybe she didn’t. Winning the game put Ricky in a better mood than Des. I have no doubt whatsoever if Titans had of won the game our coach would have went full psycho. Considering what we now know about the 28 set resta...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

Trevilyan just needs time. He has had a very disrupted start to his career and if all he "achieves" is getting through this year and the next pre-season without a major injury he's going to take a massive leap forward in 2025.

While not a pretty win , it showed us how to fight and scrap for a win. We already knew how to do that, that was all of our wins last year.

I understand Levi being gassed in the middle after 50mins if we're talking a 50/50 or worse possession game but we dominated that game everywhere but the scoreboard.

Except they picked Blaize, who is the same age and had even less NSW cup games. He hasn’t even played in the halves.

Re: Coaching issues

I think it only happened due to Hosking's issues. We had to burn 2 interchanges when plan A would have seen him play 80mins and Starling comes on for Levi in a straight swap. I would have left Levi on for the full 80 with the possession we had.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Man the Titans defended their arses off in the first half. We could have easily been up by 24. We get them last week and I think a similar score to what we put on the Eels would have been on the cards. We really went away from the plan in the second half. Far too wide too early and just allowed the ...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 6: Teams and Game Day

Nice energy by Crossland to help get them back in the game but they really needed better direction in that last set.
Whether Cogger over called or Brailey just chose the wrong options they needed to get their strike player more involved.

As julian mentioned earlier, contract talks aside, he's not the right choice for firsts anyway. If this was 2025 it'd be a different story but Sanders is not ready for first grade and Asi is their best choice.

Re: Manly Sea Eagles 2024

What's 200k/year on the cap in 2008.... that's ~20% of the cap. That's way, way above Cleary haha. Probably different rules on 3rd party and top 30 back then that skew the result, but man what a buy.

Quite surprised to see Cook dropped. He's been all effort even if he's dropped off a level in form. You would think he could find a spot over someone like Chee Kam. Tallis Duncan not being in the side at all is crazy. Davvy Moale is a good addition though. Beast mode in cup last week. 69mins, 272m (...

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

Yeah some cup sides are also so out of whack because of first grade or players playing up a grade to develop you have to watch them play like it's a trial. Looking at individual skills and effort rather than the overall sides performance.

That'd be my guess as well. In previous years, maybe even last, I would have expected Cotric to move to fullback and Esera to centre. Cook has played fullback before as well but I think he's left that behind. Far more valuable to the side as the 7. Henderson is also an option to come up into the hal...

FG footballers have to be able to defend. I don't want us to be like the 2018 Raiders when we were the 2nd best attacking side in the NRL and missed the finals.
