Re: Why Corey Parker is off Ricky Stuart’s Christmas card list

Agree it’s a dumb article but is it a view that differs from what many have expressed on here when it comes to recruiting players?

Clutching at straws! It’s almost uncomfortable to see you like this Finchy.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

Well for some context, Supercoach scores players based on actual in-game statistical output such as: tries, try assists, line breaks, line break assists, tackle breaks, hit ups, offloads, goals, tackles. You lose points for negative plays like errors, penalties, missed goals, missed tackles, etc. N...

I watched the game and said he was very very good. If I was reflecting the opinions of the experts I’d be using words like “slick” and “excellent”.

That seriously is the highest ceiling Raiders middle rotation I remember since the 90's. He would still be a great signing. Pre...
