Wild how many people are sperging over predictions that Ricky will probably pick his favourite, Hopoate, over Schiller. I don't think anybody here disagrees that Schiller is much more of an attacking threat. I don't think anybody here sees Hopoate as a much better defender. But the fact is Schiller'...

Ricky Stuart not interested in Josh Schuster Raiders coach Ricky Stuart isn't particularly interested in bringing wantaway Manly second-rower Josh Schuster to Canberra. "I've heard all of that. I really haven't taken any notice," Stuart said. "I don't even know the situation is - whe...

Raiders_Pat

Look I was one of Schiller's biggest advocates on this forum but the fact is we are 2nd in attack and 7th in defence... I know which one Ricky will be wanting to fix and I'd be surprised if the guy who is letting in soft tries survives once Hopoate is available for selection. I don't think Hopoate i...

I think Schiller should hold his spot. He's got a very good try scoring ability- he can finish with speed, he's athletic in the air and tall (becoming more important in the short drop out era in a number of ways too) and he has that bit of creative unexpected spark too. Based on last season, I thin...

Very bad news. Hoping for a swift recovery.

Canberra Raiders teen Chevy Stewart set for NRL debut after Jordan Rapana injury The Canberra Raiders are set to give an NRL debut to fullback Chevy Stewart for Sunday's clash against the Gold Coast Titans, after Jordan Rapana aggravated a knee injury. Stewart is only 18 years old but had a spectac...

Stewart should be next up in this situation so I'm more than happy if I'm proved wrong and we see his selection today.

Raiders_Pat

I kinds felt those guys you mentioned had either already played a bit of first grade or were a bigger known quantity than Sanders. But certainly you guys provide some very good examples, it would be interesting to know what their salaries were to change clubs. Would any have been $700k salary cap p...

Thought I'd selected Raiders 13+ in the poll but it has come up with Titans 13+

Raiders_Pat

A lot of people are picking Stewart in their 17 for this game if Rapana is rested, but I think chances of it happening are incredibly slim. Far more likely that Kris or even Savage will go to fullback with Sasagi or Hopoate to go to the centres. Hard to speculate on how we might line up without kno...

Raiders_Pat

Starling certainly hasn't been killing it but I don't think we have a utility in the team who has the capacity to play big minutes at hooker in the case of an injury. I could be wrong about that but there isn't anyone in the forward rotation that jumps out to me. So based on the assumption that we ...

Raiders_Pat

Starling is the luckiest bloke to make the 17 each week without a question imo. Maybe he brings something to the squad off the field that I don't see, but I agree 100% with others that he's not adding any value on the field. Levi, Hopoate and Saulo you can all make arguments for even if there are ot...

Raiders_Pat

You only have to look at halves we have had over the past 20 years - Ethan Strange 5 games into his career has the potential to be better than all of them. He doesn’t seem to have any glaring weak points to his game. Let’s go all-in on him. If we don’t, someone else will… Yep. Those saying $700k is...

Raiders_Pat

At probably a bottom four side. I know that when there were rumours of us first getting him I checked the Eels forum for their viewpoint. A few made this exact comment - why would you go to Canberra who are likely to be a bottom four side and ruin your career. I laughed at the time but I can see wh...

Raiders_Pat

Ata playing second row is ridiculous really. Just play Sisagi there. He might not be a very good option at least he could actually have the mobility to play there I doubt Mariota will play much more than the opening 20 minutes at second row. Barring injury he will come back on in the middle for the...

Bloke just hasn't knocked on the door, he's ripped it off its hinges.

And it's not like he has guys in front of him who are performing well enough to keep him out of the team. That is the most frustrating part.

Raiders_Pat

Don't mind Sasagi in, he played very well on the weekend Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Happy for Sasagi to come into the side but Mooney had to be given a shot after unfairly missing out on the weekend and our second unit performing so poorly/losing all of our momentum imo.

I think bringing Woolford into the side would see an immediate improvement in our go forward. Our clear strength as a team is our forward pack and our pack has been beaten two weeks straight. I still think Levi's service and guile is not good enough. I like the other things he brings to the side bu...

Raiders_Pat

To add to the above, what I can't understand is why we aren't developing Puru for that hooker/lock hybrid 14 role. He has the skillset to be much better at this type of role than Havili for example, who one could argue was almost the pioneer for it in the current era. His service from dummy half can...

Raiders_Pat

Hooker is by far the biggest problem with our spine right now, although Danny Levi is playing better than many of us expected, and Woolford by all reports is killing NSW Cup. The true weak link is the 20min or so of Starling coming onto the field, the team lacks all direction in that period, and he...

Raiders_Pat

That was a disgraceful performance. We needed to win in the middle, and instead allowed the likes of Mcinnes and Williams to make us look silly. Embarrassing.

We have too many forwards as it is - up until this week, mooney, horse, ata, puru and even hola playing cup footy. Even when whitehead and ( if ) papa retires this year ( which I don’t think he will ) we are still overloaded I don't think it would be all that difficult for us to release one of our ...

Robson and Marshall-King are both free to negotiate in November I believe. If we've got cash to splash then why not get the ramp out again and have a crack? It will at least push up their prices and if we're lucky enough to land one then we're in a great position. We would want to be applying pressu...

Slim pickings for that position. The only starting hooker I can see coming off contract is Mitch Kenny. Next in line is Karl Lawton who's currently backup to Croker at Manly. ESL? Might be the only viable option. Worked last time. I don't know much about players available there can't make any sugge...
