Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
Woolfords form in NSW Cup this year has been good and in todays match it was outstanding. All he needs is opportunity. But that comes down to one Coach making the correct decision on team selection. We've seen over the past 2 seasons how much better the FG side goes with Woolf in the 9. He is far b...

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders
Disagree. Get him here as soon as possible (without selling the farm), so we are in controll of his development. In saying that, he's young and might not even turn into a first grader. But he's a talented young half and worth spending time developing. The more young talented guys we have nipping at...

We are going alright when the hot argument is over a 20 minute bench role. Guler had 48 minutes today according to NRL.com That was more than any other front rower other than Tapine. So it's not actually a small role he plays. And as per above, if there is a person on this site who has defended and...

Re: Canberra Raiders express interest in Cowboys forward Luciano Leilua
He is looking for his 4th club since 2019. Look, it's not a great record but 4 times a year is a bit over the top. Arguably he hasn't been managed by the right coach either. Todd Payten is very green and the Tigers and Dragons have been a rabble the last decade. I'm not advocating for LL to be here...

Wow, Can't believe we seriously resigned this plodder. Bloke drops like a sack when he hits the line. If this is at the cost of Mooney, I will be absolutely livid. He's a very reliable player.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
I side with Matt on this one. You need a back up half. I’d argue we need a first grade standard pivot more but we’ve dug that grave early. It’s not fair or a good idea to have your back up half being your junior (and we don’t even know if he’s coming yet + if he does he’s at another club this year)...
