Strange is better than Luai is he? I'd say he is. If you could sign either, who would you sign? Strange is going to be an exceptional first grader by the looks of things. But if I’m picking a NSW team on Sunday night, I’m going with the 5/8 that has played in the last FOUR grand finals. Not the tee...

julian87

Oh yeah? What about Luke Keary or Jerome Luai, who have both won multiple premierships? Or Nicho Hynes, the current Dally M medalist. Absolute madness throwing him into SOO. Especially when you know he’d get dumped and crucified when NSW lose. What about Luai? Well if he was the alternative then St...

I really love him as a player. Love that we have him.

But I don’t think calling him the new Laurie Daley after like 10 games really helps things at all. Nor do calls for him to play Origin at this point. A little bit silly for mine.

julian87

Can’t overstate how good Mooney was. Just changed the game for us with tough, bumpers up, tough carries. 3 in a row in one set. And that try saver. Gee whiz.

Not sure what the deal is with Saulo but only injury should see him play first grade again.

So spot on haha

Been there, done that and I’d rather Rapana

3 - Strange

julian87

I’m really stoked to have been wrong about Weekes. He’s a good footy player. If he can handle the high ball he might be a good fullback move late season imo.

julian87

I have a good feeling about this game (I know, I know... why!?!?!) I think we match up better in most position Rapana 1 Tracey Cotric 2 Kiraz Timoko 3 Xerri Kris 4 Critchon Savage 5 Addo-Carr Strange 6 Burton Weekes 7 Hutchison Papalii 8 King Levi 9 Mahoney Tapine 10 Hughes Young 11 Kikau Whitehead...

julian87

This really isn’t intended to be a backhanded complement but will definitely come across as one. Hopoate is pretty much your perfect 18th man. Can fill in anywhere in the outside backs and if you suffered a catastrophic injury/HIA game in the forwards you can chuck him in the middle. I know it’s not...

julian87

Don’t mind Sitili but he has definitely plateaued.

Papalii is an interesting one. He’s been a bit of a let down at Wests. Looks to me like his future may be as a middle forward rather than an edge.

julian87

This three quarter line is unparalleled in club football imo.

I’m sure people would think some great outside back combinations of the past are better. They might be. But they wouldn’t compete with them physically. Each of the 4 are deadset the modern rugby league athlete prototype.

julian87

It will be interesting to see what Roosters do from here. They have, by some distance, the best roster in the NRL. They have several players on significant unders. The stand out ones being Daniel Tupou and Connor Watson. They’ll be under no cap pressure to get rid of any second rowers (it seems like...

julian87

JMK for hooker anyone? You know we stood by when Api joined Tigers from Penrith, and then resigned. Yet we signed Levi Look I’d take literally anyone over Levi. Hell, I’d take Glenn Buttriss or Luke Bateman. JMK is quality Levi is better than Buttriss. I know we joke about it, but Buttriss was nick...

julian87

The Papalii take is ridiculous.

3. Cotric
2. Whitehead
1. Weekes

Savage **** fantastic too.

julian87

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...

julian87

Guler had an unhappy night in what has been an unhappy year for him He had a good opportunity and didn’t take it I’m a fan but he’s falling well down the pecking order with this sort of play Yep but the team was better with him out there for the start and no Saulo, no matter how poor he was. Hors i...

julian87

What a performance.

julian87

They need to hook Dropoate. **** me.

julian87

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

julian87

We've had some shockers. Orford, C.Scott, Aekins, C.Frawley, FPN, Flanagan, Gubb That's a conservative list too...

julian87

I have always been of the opinion that the best player in each position at the Club should be picked in that position. Woolford have been the 9 which took the Raiders to the finals in the last two seasons. When Levy left the Knights in 2021 he blamed the Knights coach Nathan Brown. “It was hard, it...

And that’s the worst spine I’ve ever seen named in first grade in the NRL era. In 2022 we played the bulldogs in round 9 with the following: 1. CNK 6. Matt Frawley 7. Brad Schneider 9. Adam Elliott Real toss of the coin. That’s only a toss of the coin on a two headed coin. Agreed, its not close. Id...

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.

julian87

This game has shown exact why you don’t sign from the big teams. In one half Alamoti (Dogs reject) plays better than Turuva has in his career.

julian87

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...

Love their solution to the fact Gutho is busted is to move him to the front line with more contact Let alone the fact that the other times he's played 6 he's been absolutely terrible.

julian87

Hoppa was poor in NSW cup. Cotric was even poorer and Asomua had a shocker. So if Ricky is consistent on cup performances mattering none of them should be getting selected. I think Soulsy is right. Based upon what I've observed in cup, we don't have anyone on the same talent level to replace Schill...
