Raiders V Donkeys Rd 14

Last time I was able to go to the big smoke to watch the Raiders, there was a thing going with the Lord Alfred pub on Caxton Street being an unofficial "Away team" pub. Does this still happen and will there be anyone making the effort this year?

Albert Fulivai was routinely run down by front row forwards. Quite possibly the slowest winger ever to play NRL level footy.

LK Bradley Clyde: don't even care who the other lock is because no human has ever been a better lock than Bradley Clyde .

Has anyone on this forum been able to say that since Valemei has been starting, that you have felt confident that the outcome of any type of play (bomb, grubber, passing movement) towards his wing would be positive, ie. he would catch/tackle/stay in play ?

Was watching the game and wondering why, as a back, would you do a set through the middle to help out when you have the option of a shift two wide and do the same thing, but running into other backs instead of forwards? Simonsson, Cotric, Scott, all having a dig but just getting monstered, not the s...

BJ likes to be the tough guy. Pick him in the pack where he can play against other tough guys.

Thought Kaufusi was one of our best. Seemed to be the only one who looked dangerous with the footy under his wing. In a game of 742 missed tackles didn't think his were that bad.
