Re: Jack Wighton to test the open market for 2024

For the amount of money that Jack is getting/asking for, he needs to be a consistent match winner and make the rest of the team better. Even in his peak CCM/Dally M years he was just as likely to kick the ball out of the ground to Woden as he was to score a hattrick. And he could score lots of tries...

I know Adam Elliott was our fill in hooker in the trials, but the dude had no right to left pass - is he really a viable option?!

Re: Josh Hodgson out for the season, has played final game with the club

Devastated. I was lucky enough to be at his first NRL match, Round 1 2015 in Cronulla. We all knew straight away we had a good'un. He took the kick on his first set in the NRL - a perfect kick from dummy half from just outside our 40, the ball stopped right in the Sharks corner. What a way to start....

I agree with other posters that he was probably our best player for large chunks of the year. In saying all that, I also think that if he is ...

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on Nicho Hynes

All the talk here is focusing on our attack yet the way we are defending at the moment, leaking 30+ points on a regular basis, would mean we still need to score in excess of that to collect the 2 points each week. The right edge (Scott in particular) this year has let in more points than they have ...

Re: Josh Hodgson stands down, Elliott Whitehead appointed co-captain

I was very down on Hodgson earlier this year but after seeing us flounder while he was injured it's clear that we are not a better team without him and we would be crazy to let him walk. I can certainly see why at the moment he may not seem to be the best fit for the team but that's on Ricky as much...

Re: 2021 Rd 9 V Knights: Game Day

I'd say our squad is unbalanced, undertrained, underconfident now, and too old and too slow. Every player needs to be at least one of fast, strong or tall.

Sezer didn't really do much to claim the jumper but it was clear that the Dogs were running their attack at Sammy. He defended gamely but better teams than the Doggies will tear his edge apart. Missing a field goal attempt from dead in front with no pressure probably didn't help his cause either. Sh...

Re: Hodgson announced as co-captain

I love Croker, I looooove Hodgo, they're both good choices as co-captains (in their own ways) but really our defence and our halves are going to have a far bigger influence on our fortunes in 2019
