Re: Raiders recruit Newcastle Knights Jersey Flegg captain Myles Martin

He's a big unit, but seems to be quite mobile from the little I've seen. Really good signing by the looks. Credit to our recruitment team with this one. Could possibly play an edge in first grade. Will be interesting to see how he progresses. Either way, I love the way we've specifically targeted a ...

Ex Raiders... where are they now?

Once the NRL integrity unit finish with the Roosters they should go visit the Tigers recruitment and retention committee. The signing of Bateman on a ridiculous 4 year deal epitomises everything wrong with that club. By the end of 2020 he was a shell of a player he was at the start of 2019. Sent fro...

Re: Canberra Raiders take up 2025 option for Josh Papalii

Perfect player to bring in off the bench. I reckon 2025 will do him.

Can wrap up his career with back to back premierships.

Re: 2024 Round 12 v Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

6th vs 7th.

The battle of a bottom 4 quality squad vs a top 4 quality squad led by a three time premiership winning coach.

I'm surprised the teams are so close on the ladder.

Roosters suck. Raiders by 10.

It's hard to ignore the development in the kicking games of our halves. The progress Jamma has shown in the last couple of seasons indicates the quality of coaching the Raiders have to offer.

Re: Fullback

We've got an outstanding young 7 coming in next season and another great fullback coming through (despite the criticism). To that extent Weekes provides a very good option for both positions should either Stewart or Sanders take their time to step up.

Re: Raiders sign Kaeo Weekes on two year deal

Strange legitimately beat Weekes to the 5/8 position in the trials. Until then I'm sure Stuart had Weekes pencilled in. That says a lot about Strange, he was outstanding in the preseason. But Weekes offers a lot of that X factor. Unlike Starling, he could legitimately cause damage off the bench. We ...

Would be very happy for him to eek out another season if his body is up to it. He's a legend.

Cotric and Savage are my frontrunners as wingers going forward, but you always need depth.

He didn't seem to be able to retool his squad very well after the grand final season. Losing Papalii and Mahoney was a real blow for them.

Noukore was also a big loss, as he has been for the Warriors this year.

The only reason Papalii didn’t land on Kikau’s legs was because another raiders player got in the way, and the force of Papalii swinging off the ground forced that Canberra player to come down on Kikau’s legs.
