Re: Canberra Raiders fans unite for Magic Round 2025

While I’m going to Brisbane for Magic Round, I’m still undecided about going to the game due to the timeslot and the opponent. Although… if we have a banger against the titans tomorrow, that might just make my mind up for me! Just a heads up if you do decide to buy tickets I’m hearing mixed reviews...

Re: Raiders offer Fogarty new deal to fend off Sea Eagles’ raid

Looking at Fogs manager his stable of "stars" aren't the shiniest in the NRL and very heavy on the Titans side. The circus happening with Galvin at the Tigers is a joke but he is a young kid I would hope someone like Fogs who seems to have his head screwed on and a decent person would pul...

Re: Raiders offer Fogarty new deal to fend off Sea Eagles’ raid

I’m reading that it’s a 2 year deal that will end up being 1 year here and 2 years somewhere else. It’s a 2 year deal that will see him transition into coaching after 1. It’s a 2 year deal that will see him play NSW cup as a backup to Sanders. And it’s all part on a 43 step no-brainer plan. I conclu...

Re: Sea Eagles set to offer Jamal Fogarty $1 million two year deal

Galvin must have a locked in contract to throw those comments out there. He wouldn’t be doing himself any favours by being a complete knob. If I was a coach, I wouldn’t sign him knowing he had an attitude like that. No matter how good he is. I reckon that's his manager speaking. Isn’t he just tryin...

Re: Sea Eagles set to offer Jamal Fogarty $1 million two year deal

I'm pretty sure that's just their stock line, regardless of what is happening. "Yeah my manager will sort that" I think it’s quite telling considering the coach came out a few weeks ago and said he wanted to talk directly to Fogarty and cut out the manager. This is very clearly Fogarty sa...

Re: 2025 Round 6 v Eels: Teams and Previews

Ricky is going ahead with Simi and Smithies ahead of Trey for various reasons. IMO Simi is more versatile; covers edge and centre in a pinch. Has a more nounced ball playing game and to his credit has improved his defence. Smithies is not your battering ram like Trey is. He is actually doing well o...

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Knights player Kai Pearce-Paul

I'd suggest he's more useful to the team than Corey Harawira-Naera, who he'd basically be replacing next season. At the right price there would be far worse gambles for us to take. He can run a good line and seems to have decent hands. I'm not sure where else we'd spend our cap money, except maybe ...

There is persevering with a talented player and then there is insanity. Weekes looks like he doesn't want to be there (at fullback). My hot take is 1. Jed Stuart 2. Kris 3. Strange 4. Weekes 5.
