I forgot how good of a 40/20 kicker he was.

IBG

At least the club recognises its an area of need. Hopefully one of them makes it. I miss prime Hodgo.

IBG

Xavier Cacciotti is an Australian Schoolboys and GE rates him as the best young hooker we have had in a long, long time. I haven't seen him play bur trust the captain.

IBG

Little bit of an Easter Egg in that press conference, did anyone else catch it? "We have changed our recruitment strategy focusing on young players bringing them in earlier so they don't want to leave ... we've got another couple of young boys that we've signed and we will announce those in the...

IBG

The fullback spot will be really interesting. Based on Sticky's comments Rapa will definitely be ready, but I thought based on his comments on resting Chevy that he was fully intending to bring him back as fullback, but with Cotric being outstanding last night, it leaves a real headache. 1. Chevy 2...

Oh no Papa

IBG

Say what you will about him but that's a captains play.

Top shelf flick pass.

IBG

OK the resting of Chevy makes sense then.

I would've bet my house on Levi being dropped for Woolford, but here we are.

IBG

I hope he kills it and gains valuable experience. Interesting conversation to have next year if he absolutely brains it the next few months with us still having Fog for the next 2 years. I can see the Ricky hate next year when he leaves Sanders in NSW Cup for most of the year (although to be fair Fo...

IBG

We’ve got the most promising junior hooker in the country on contract. Who's that? Xavier Cacciotti was the Australian Schoolboys hooker last year. And he’s not the only very good junior hooker on the books. I can’t remember a better crop of dummy halves coming through the club. If the Raiders cann...

IBG

Credit to Chevy, he didn't keep trying.

IBG

Well, given Fog is out for at least a couple of months, it's time to get Sanders for this year. Not expecting him to be the saviour, but this is the year to give him, Strange and Stewart experience. We are realistically not going to go anywhere this year, so better to suffer the growing pains this y...

IBG

I don't think everyone is realising how POTENTIALLY successful this new era could be. Imagine locking Strange, Chevy and Sanders up long-term. They are arguably 3 of the highest rated prospects in the game, seemingly all very good mates, and in key spine positions that could win us lots of games. Ho...

IBG

Look, you can't keep them all, maybe we realised that we had to drop Schiller to spare some extra cash for Mooney.

He's been great no doubt, but wingers are a dime a dozen. Asomua is coming through and you still have Hoppa and Cotric. Plus Jed Stuart has been pretty bloody good in NSW Cup.

IBG

Mariota has been impressive on the edge, I didn't realise he was so versatile, he really is a mini Papa.

Agree that Mariota to start and Sisagi on the bench for Hosking.

IBG

Do you blokes really think we will win every game by 30? Even when Penrith was the most dominant team in the comp, teams would "get up" for it and they'd barely eke out a win sometimes, especially against some of the bottom teams. The Titans were winless which means if you think about it t...

IBG

2 - Papa
2 - Fog
1 - Taps
1 - Chevy

IBG

Chevy saved the game there, that tackle was under the posts.

IBG

:( We have been nowhere near as bad as everyone is carrying on. A few poor sets in attack but the Titans have scrambled well and slowed the ruck down/been offside no end. With high completions and persistence, you wear sides down, even when you aren't at 100%. Good teams win these games and move on....

IBG

No matter what happens, maybe I'm downplaying what is happening and Im a bit delusional.. yes our attack is clunky, but I reckon the Titans would beat most teams tonight, they're very tough defensively. It's one of those games where they are up for it and I reckon a lot of other teams would struggle.

IBG

Why do we persist with this negative penalty goal taking.

IBG

The take was fantastic, but in one off season I can't believe how much Fog's kicking game has improved.

IBG

1-17. Let's gooooo.

Wrong, that's Colonel McCrone.

IBG

Could be that he's under a cloud and Sticky will give him warm-ups to prove his fitness and they're pulling Weekes out of caution. Either way we will find out at 5:15pm.

Was worried Temara would be off to the Warriors with the re-introduction of them into the comp. Fantastic news.

IBG

Based on everything that is being reported you can only assume that once he signs with us next week his management will be seeking an immediate release. Yep. Coming into the year initially I thought just let him bide his time at the Eels, it would be good experience for him to learn more behind Mos...

IBG

Yeah losing Raps for 6 weeks is a big loss. Rest up old dog.

IBG

Let's goooooooooooooo

IBG

Horse out, Mooney in

Hosking in, I'd take out Starling and leave Sisagi at 14.

IBG

3 - Timoko
2 - Savage
1 - Strange

I can't see how it could be any other 3. Honourable mention to Rapa for being indestructible.

Agree 100% - play negative football and what do you expect.
