Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Ricky was right in the presser, the Titans were blatantly slowing down the ruck. It was cynical and how they didn't get one player sent to the bin astounds me. Realistically should have been 10+ more 6 agains.

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

I could be biased, but I honestly consider Stuart to be the best half to play the game. 30 to 35 years ago he was at the peak of his powers. As much as I hate cam smith you cannot deny what he achieved. I also personally have Thurston ahead of John's. Played a massive part of that run for qld Yeah,...

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

You'll never see me try and argue that Lockyer was better than Johns, but I'm also not stupid enough to claim Johns is the best player I've ever seen when he's not even the best halfback OR in the top 3 players I've seen play the game in 35 years.

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Chevy Stewart to debut

Very happy to see Chevy get a go if reports are true. And if he shows he belongs in First Grade at such a young age (big if so early) our team is so much stronger with a legit fullback and Rapa (when he comes back) and Savage on the wings.

Re: Raiders look to extend Ethan Strange contract

I'm in the camp of pushing all our chips in on Strange. The best thing is he is the perfect 6 to pair with Fogarty short term and hopefully Sanders long term. And they are the perfect 7's to pair with him.

Surely naming Whitehead in 12 is a token gesture so he can wear that number and Hosking starts in 16. SURELY!!!!

How Guler and Saulo are both kept over Mariota is one of the more baffling selections I've seen also.

The sooner we move to a 6 man bench, the better Pick your bench, ability to cover all positions and use them as you require Allows a bench half/hooker x1, couple of middles x3, centre/edge x1, specialist back x1 I think 5 would be enough myself and 18 suit up as it is. But if it became 6 so be it.
