Re: Through green eyes 2024
BnM, if Sticky goes on form against Manly it will be Cotric on the right wing and Rapa resuming his place at FB in the magic round. Kris back into left center. Hoppa in the 'left right out' position. But we all know Sticky has his favorites and form can mean little. If Saulo has overcome his back co...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
I wonder how Fog, Strange, Weekes, Chevy and Sanders will fit into the 17 next year? Maybe Strange or Weekes can develop a decent pass from dummy half. I reckon that's the kind of depth needed (with FG experience) to be a threat in this competition. It pretty much covers 3 of the 4 spine positions ...

Re: Through green eyes 2024
Probably DL's best defensive game for us with only 2 missed and 1 ineffective tackle. One tackle I recall on Turbo was very good close to our line. But... can he back it up. In Manly's first try DL is the defender ambling across the field when Turbo cuts back inside. If he had shown a little more ur...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Mission accomplished with 2 competition points and a couple of try assist kicks to each of the young halves sealed the deal. But the bloke who kept the Raiders in the game was Elliott Whitehead. He fields a dropped Manly ball and then gives a reverse flick pass to Weekes on the fly to score our open...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
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 ...

Disappointing display from Spurs going down 2 nil to Chelsea. Very disjointed in this deferred match. Also no energy. Spurs play Liverpool on Monday and another display like that will see them well beaten.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
Yeah Weekes and Sasagi were good in that respect on paper But given our lack of halves depths, Weekes isnt a utility for us. He's a straight up half and we're still short. He doesnt seem to have done any cross training at fullback. And we cant really afford to do it, because we came into the year w...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews
I’d say no chance it’s not Weekes again. Ricky won’t drop him from one chance. I agree Gangers, I think Weekes will be safe. After a 40 blot defeat there has to be some change to the line up. EW will be back for sure. So many missed tackles for Simi, I don't see him retained. Woolford should be the...

Sharks leading 18-0. No energy from our forwards. Joe Tapine one of the worst one on one tackles from a Captain you will ever see.
