Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

I hate a player call out thread so I’ll just post here. Albert Hopoate should never ever sniff first grade again unless there is no other option. He’s the worst outside back in the NRL. He sucks at pretty much everything. If Rapana isn’t right it needs to be anyone but post the bye. There really isn...

Hopoate back in for his defence. He’s a **** useless player. Probably the worst outside back in the entire NRL.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

I have always been of the opinion that the best player in each position at the Club should be picked in that position.

It’s amazing what 3 weeks can do. The super exciting prospect of watching the juniors in first grade has turned into perhaps the most depressing 1-17 I’ve ever encountered as a Raiders fan.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

You honestly couldn’t have expected a better debut from Sanders. I didn’t think he’d handle it like he did. I think it has underlined how a good half will always struggle in a poor team no matter the level of footy. Their NSW Cup team stinks and as soon as he was flung into a good team his talent sh...

There’s a rumour on the Kennel of Sexton to the Raiders immediately. So maybe 0.0001% chance of that happening.
That would be good as long as it has no influence on Sanders.

I don’t even care about the Chevy and Strange mistakes. If it was possible I’d make the other outside backs walk back to Canberra. Their kick chase has been lazy and non existent.
