Good read GE. Regarding golden point, the a 'golden try' rule also means teams would give away a thousand penalties in front of the posts knowing a penalty goal is no longer relevant. It's a ridiculous concept.

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
Wet conditions generally favour the team who play through the middle, take less risks and have a better kicking game.

Re: Newcastle Knights sign Canberra Raiders back James Schiller
If that's the case it's somewhat ironic if he wants to play centre. I'd be concerned in defence if I was the winger player outside him.

Ashley Klein can certainly pull a penalty out of his backside.
Still, Tedesco lucky to be left out there at the end after his obvious trip.

That whole left side attack has been almost entirely rebuilt from last season's disaster of Cotric-Croker-Young-Wighton. Kris is largely doing his job well and I'm sure will shine after a few kinks are ironed out in their positioning. The defence already looks infinitely better than last season. Sen...

If we have to lose one... it's a 3/4 who is sure he's a centre not a winger. We have a couple of pretty good centres signed years ahead already- despite Schiller' talent. And Schiller seems to want to play centre- and I agree with him from what I've seen and have posted so for some time. You can si...

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay
Mooney is going OK. He definitely needs more NRL minutes to prove himself. He's played with some impact in short bursts.
Not sure why he only played 15 minutes vs the Titans, especially after Hosking went off. Injured?
At the moment he's on the Sam Mataora trajectory. Plenty of talent...
