Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Depends who has been kicking at training, my guess it would be Chevy kicking goals. This is the 1 game I would bring Woolford back in to start, try and get 50 minutes out of him, my point being he will get our forwards rolling and he will give the young spine time and some space for our faster back...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

But surely you can see clubs like the Roosters or Broncos (who can basically sign whoever they want) gives Robbo and Walters an advantage over Ricky when recruitment is never an issue for them? Roosters have no dramas signing Keary, Tedesco, Crichton, Smith, Sualii, Leniu, Young, etc. We could neve...

Re: Corey Harawira Naera’s career remains in limbo

The bottom line is that CHN is going to be entitled to a full pay out of his contract if medically retired. He is well within his rights to try and get back on the field. If CHN is medically retired, the Raiders will be entitled to full salary cap relief from the time of the incident. It is in neit...

Re: A new Canberra Stadium

Taxpayers are actually the people who pay! So asking them how much they’d like to see spent on a stadium is pretty relevant. They’re Commonwealth and Territory voters and taxpayers as well. Recently we’ve helped pay for a stadium in Townsville and about to fork out for one in Hobart. Maybe this jur...

Dale Finuccan retires on medical advice despite being contracted till 2025. I wonder how the sharks managed that and avoided him running water for another year while seeking alternative opinions?

I think the jury is out on Trey Mooney and whether he is truly as good as people say he is on the GH forum. He looked slow and I didn't see him dominate in tackles. And I don't understand the fuss for Saulo as well - he gets dominated. Conversely, Xavier Willison will be a star for the Broncos. He ...
