Re: 2025 Round 8 v Dolphins: Game Day

No surprise Hors wasn’t charged for the contact on the Hammer. That was a perfect example of the slow motion replay making things look much worse than reality.

Re: 2025 Canberra Raiders Dally M votes

The two Dally M voters each chose 3 completely different players for their 3 2 1’s. I gave Fog 1 point yesterday for his passes that created space for the Weekes and Nicholson tries, the grubber try and his own dummy and run try.

Re: Manly close in on next DCE with Raiders star set to quit Canberra

With the Perth Bears coming in 2027, Fog might even get a better payday there by negotiating a player option with the Raiders after next season. He could probably even sign a really good Bears contract after November 1 this year.

Re: Manly close in on next DCE with Raiders star set to quit Canberra

I’d go real left field and Jayden Sullivan. Souths are apparently sending him back to Tigers under the shared contract agreement.
Sullivan might finally improve behind a strong Raiders forward pack and under a simple Ricky game plan.

Re: 2025 Round 8 v Dolphins: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

I’d agree that Centre being beaten is often due to poor inside work, but Timoko has been the cause of tries and line breaks a number of times this season and last.

He gives too much space to faster players and those with a good right hand fend.

Fogarty is focused on being bubbly, being cheeky and stirring up the coach.

Fog is getting better and actually now putting on attacking plays, his last remaining weakness. I'm not sure yet that he isn't an Adam Reynolds or DCE who can play as long as they want.

Some of our forwards looked tired and flat today, so well done to Huddo, Fog, Kris and Tamale for bringing their A Game. Their energy and non stop effort lifted us multiple times.

They’re the type of wins when you are not at your best that you need to make the finals.

His kicking kept us in it and he gives us structure to work our plays off.
