Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

Some big outs this week. It will be interesting how teams cope. Gonna be an absolute tipping nightmare this week, outs like Cleary and Moses make both those games head-scratchers and Raiders are big underdogs but could easily get the job done if they play at the same level as the last three weeks. ...

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita... for a second time

Slim pickings for that position. The only starting hooker I can see coming off contract is Mitch Kenny. Next in line is Karl Lawton who's currently backup to Croker at Manly. ESL? Might be the only viable option. Worked last time. I don't know much about players available there can't make any sugge...

Well-travelled hooker Danny Levi’s early-season renaissance has been a microcosm of Canberra’s gritty, expectations-defying start to 2024.

I don’t understand the “it is what it is”/ “we’re stuck with Whitehead” mentality either. This is a stinker of a decision - 100% made by the coach- to give the armband to a guy who clearly hasn’t been up to NRL standard for 2-3 years. Why are we giving a free pass? Are we really that passive and mi...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

EW is not going anywhere, and that is not ideal, but it is reality. I like the idea of rotating Ata and Mooney and only using Guler when absolutely necessary. I just think they would have more impact than Emre does. Saulo is not a huge-meter eater. But he has a fast PTB and is defensively good. Rota...

Hors was really solid as a #13 and i've got not a lot of bad to say about him... but there is no question IMO Smithies is having a pretty significant impact in terms of his workrate defensively. I think one feature of our early season defence has been how we've been quite good defending inside out ...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

Hors, Ata, Mooney, Saulo, Guler and Whitehead 6 have to go into 3. If you gave any other club their choice of 3 of these players, I am extremely confident in saying every single club would pick Hors, Ata and Mooney. That's purely subjective. And you know it. Would Mooney stroll into NQ? Broncos? Ro...

Imagine how good we'd be if we had Api or Grant as our 9?

Levi, for now, is our starting 9.
