Re: Raiders reportedly in talks with Kaeo Weekes

Weekes has done absolutely nothing in 1st grade thus far. Played a few games at fullback and did nothing. That doesn't mean he can't play though, always had raps on him coming through. Kid with potential.

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Teams and Previews

Can't see Ricky playing a "risky" player like Savage this late in the season For Savage to be included he needs to be able to tackle. I haven't seen him play at all this season so not sure if there has been some improvement with his defence, but last season it was very ordinary. I watched...

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Dolphins beating the cowboys on Friday night might effect our side a lot. If they win Ricky might rest Jack and give him his final home game in that week one finals match. Won't happen. Dolphins have too many injuries and got beat by the wooden spooners. Cowboys playing for a finals spot. I give th...

Re: 2023 Rd 23 v Storm: Game Day

The Wighton discourse is interesting to me. Imo he's been very poor for 3 seasons now. People are just noticing it more cos he's leaving. He isn't doing anything now he wasn't doing last year, go back and watch some of our games from last year you'll find he was as bad as he is now. Can think of 2/3...

Good grief, some epic tantrums going on in here.

Re Hudson Young, of course his confidence is shot.
