Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

I think Mooney needs to be starting to get the best out of him until he is more comfortable with his position in the side. I also think this would be best for the team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Haha, there are a few problems with our team but middles aren’t one of them. This is madness😄

How good is the mainstream media leading with their civil court win over Bruce Lehermann after 6 people were killed in a mass murder and WW3 might be breaking out in the Middle East. Pathetic 😡

Re: Mal Meninga in line for bombshell South Sydney coaching appointment

This sounds like a fox sports thought bubble. Remember when they basically bullied the tigers to sign Tim Sheens- who was then found to be way out of his depth :roflmao

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I wouldn’t be against giving Rapa another 12 months, yes his speed has gone but he offers the team so much more. He’s not in the Whitehead category of being pretty much completely past it.

Why dilute your strength?? Having Taps and Papa start and finish the game is what you want. If our second stringers can’t keep the momentum going then we have bigger problems.

Schiller at Centre would have been better for me as Hoppa isn't playing there in the future, might as well give him time there (pretty sure it would have been opposite Gagai not Best which is a consideration). Strange was a good move but he had to pick either him or Weekes regardless. I think he wa...
