Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews
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.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews
And then Aidan Sezer got charged by the MRC for nothing. It's ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is a team being a player short due to a HIA caused by foul play.

Horsburgh for Guler is a no brainer. Whitehead to bench for Saulo is probably the other move we see too - but who knows with Stuart?

I really loved seeing Mariota play so well. He is clearly in our best 17 every week and to be fair he probably cemented that last year.

Horrible news if so for CHN and his family. Great to see the Raiders pledge to keep him in the game where possible. From afar and knowing zero about the type of medical condition he suffered it really does seem like the right call for his well being though.

I like Hosking and think he is a good signing who is a bit of a moneyball type in that he'll give us more than his cost would indicate. But I'm not gonna lie, when I read on Fox Sports that "Raiders poach Panthers gun" I felt pretty let down it wasn't an actual Panthers gun.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023
We really should be making a Godfather offer to Finefeuiaki. I honestly don't know why the Club appears to covet Luciano Leilua - he's a fine piece to add to a team in contention but I really don't see his value in a developing team years away from contending.
