I have just watched both post game pressers and Des Hasler is living down to his initials. This made me laugh. Hope you had a nice B'day btw. Thanks HKR. I had a top day and the Raiders winning was icing on the Birthday Cake. On the Ref Casey Badger, I’ve never seen Annesley hang a ref out to dry l...

Although the injuries are unfortunate, the side looks better balanced with backrower/center Simi on the bench. Needs more Woolford.

RedRaider

I am expecting to see SimiS named later today. That will be a good thing. I have been impressed with what he has produced so far in Green. Have to feel for ZacH though.

Benefit of him playing the first 25-30 mins is it gives us one less interchange rather then DL starting and finishing.

LOL. Yes I do want Woolf to start but I won’t say it again today.

RedRaider

I can't see a productive future for the Levi-Starling combination. It's terrible in defence as well as being chaotic in attack. Unless we are 6 points down with 5 minutes to go and have no other options. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk Woolf needs to start imo. DL is averaging about 4 missed ta...

I am one of the biggest Fog fans on here but the field goal does not negate the 8 missed tackles and the poor kick which gave the Titans the opportunity to level the game. 7 at best. DL missed 4 tackles and the Clanger effort for the Titans first try was not FG level. Opposition coaches will see opp...

No need to be sorry TR, Newcastle thoroughly deserved their win, Very well played. I think Newcastle have had to overcome a worse injury hit season than any other club too.

RedRaider

Thank you for winning on my birthday Raiders. We are on hols with our daughter and grandkids at One Mile Beach, Anna Bay. We went to the pub to watch the game. All 5 of us are Raiders fans. Tense finish after we went to sleep in the last 5 minutes of game time. The brilliant Strange run to put the R...

Yes, full marks to Newcastle on thrashing Spurs. Spurs very poor all over the park. They don’t play next week due to Man City being involved in a Champions League match. The following week is Arsenal.

Murtazaliev stopped Culcay in the 11th round to claim the IBF Junior middle weight title. Although being behind on points the sheer punching power he has is always a threat.

Starling's best recent performance was when levi broke his jaw and Tommy played 70mins, this whole "bring the chaos" doesn't work but any more than 50mins Levi starts struggling worse. Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk DL leading the way in missed tackles for the Raiders with 19 over t...

Manchester City and Real Madrid have played a 3 all draw in the first leg of their EUFA Champions League. Some wonderful goals. The final 3 of the match absolute crackers and once again Foden gets one of them.

Anyone missing Wighton? Nope? Let's make sure Ethan gets paid. Jack went to Redfern to win a comp. He went to win a trophy PJ, not thinking it could be made of wood. I hope we do get the extension done with Ethan Strange very soon. He is only missing the FG experience which he is gaining each week....

Sam Verrills and I got to the same barber (literally) and he would 100% fit with the culture of the club - is a top bloke. I think we will and should sign Rapana for next year. Asomua is looking promising but still raw and he will 100% play first grade next year but I can’t see Rapana not being one...

Matilda's have beaten Mexico 2-0 in a friendly played at San Antonio, Texas. Goals to Hayley Raso and Caitlin Foord. High quality match shown live on free to air this morning.

RedRaider

Congratulations to Chevy Stewart on making his FG debut. Go well young man. Sticky recently talking about loss of momentum when Papa and Taps go off and he continued with the in form Saulo and the NSW Cup 'Momentum Man' Trey Mooney. All very positive. Another positive is Kasey Badger will be the Ref.

RedRaider

Raiders are currently 3 from 5 games played and well in front of last years 1 from the first five games. I thought Mariota should have been a 6. His one on one tackle on Sivo in about the 55th minute when Ata absolutely smashed him. That is one of the only times Sivo has been dominated in a one on o...

RedRaider

People worrying too much about defence/handling errors again. A couple of comments on Facebook that Schiller "not first grade quality" as a result. Come on. Are we really that risk averse?? I don't relate to these types. Let's have some fun, let's watch someone who can light up the field ...

RedRaider

Just watched the replay. I don't want to over-hype the kid, but Strange reminds me of Kalyn Ponga. Not that he's a fullback, but he moves, steps, and runs in very similar fashion to Ponga IMO. While it's not a good thing to compare rookie players with past or present players, the similarity for me ...

RedRaider

Yeh last night will mean nothing if we don’t back it up this week. Titans are getting desperate and if we have a hint of complacency we get our pants pulled down. Enjoy the win no doubt but all business this week. That’s the challenge I think Rocky needs to set them this week. Complacency has been ...

Speaking of Spurs, they have finished the final game of this round with a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest. A surprise result for me was the 2 all draw between Manchester United and Liverpool with a late penalty allowing Liverpool to draw the match earlier today. The current Premier League table i...

Any Toon supporters here? I like Newcastle's attacking style but I'm not a supporter. I tend to follow where the Aussies are. For years we had Aussies play for Liverpool in the likes of Craig Johnston and Harry Kewell so I followed them. I grew up in Milperra not far from Liverpool in Sydney so I s...

RedRaider

Very Happy with the two competition points, but gee the Eels played poorly. So much dropped ball. Dumb penalties. Having said that, in Strange, Xav and Timoko we have so much individual strike power. One a rookie, one returning from injury, one an International. From the point of view, 'are the head...

RedRaider

I was impressed with the Raiders defensive efforts in the first half and in particular at the back end of the first half where they are driving the Eels ball carriers back. Speed is a wonderful assett and Xav and Strange are showing what can be achieved with it. Saulo playing well in limited minute...

RedRaider

Both halves playing well tonight. Fog a field goal in the dying seconds of the first half showing they are thinking about the game. I hope Rapa's knee will be ok.

RedRaider

Sasagi selection proving a winner with him playing well at center in stead of second row.

RedRaider

It’s not feasible for our club to be able to sign Reynolds/Maloney/Api level players When has this club ever signed an established superstar level spine player? I would think they will probably look to England again instead if they do decide they need one. Yep, Hodgo and GWilly were established spi...

The side is the NEW ZEALAND Warriors so I imagine they would not care so much if the opening of the new Stadium in Christchurch is a home game for them, than if they were still the Auckland Warriors. They re-branded themselves in 2001.

To finish this Premier League round first placed Liverpool have beaten last placed Sheffield 3-1 and then in a boil over Chelsea have beaten Manchester United 4-3 scoring two goals in extra time 10th minute, a penalty, and then extra time 11th minute both to Cole Palmer who has a hat trick.

I found an interesting stat on the team which is the most fouled against in the Premier League. It is Tottenham Hotspur with 410 so far this season. Aston Villa were next on 384. Of the Top 3 sides Manchester City were on 324, Arsenal 313 and Liverpool 298. https://www.statmuse.com/fc/ask/most-foule...
