Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita... for a second time

Didn't Sticky say in his Round 1 Presser that he was originally off Hosking coming in 2024 because he knocked us back previously???? Now, after two knock backs we are going after Fifita again?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

Origin forward on the move? Which former State of Origin front-rower could be heading for a warmer climate - and soon! The player has been deemed surplus to requirements at his current club but is being chased by a team north of the border. It's just a question of whether the two clubs can come to ...

Re: Raiders star's career remains in limbo nine months after terrifying seizure

Personally i think we blantantly breach the salary cap and risk crippling points deductions and massive fines and simply give the man a duffle bag full of high valued goods and cash. A Gucci bag with the deed to a house, keys to a BMW, speed boat and 500k cash should solve this problem for us. Righ...

Honest question - after he has officially dropped out of the squad, how is Ata behind Guler and Saulo in our depth chart?

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.

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.

I think you are right. Botman is bang on, he 100% should be on the right. It's not like the other half is Cooper Cronk, surely Stuart can see this also and move Fogarty.
