Re: Canberra Raiders make new offer to Eels half Ethan Sanders
Parra may pull the trigger on Sanders to FG given that slop from Darwin the other night. In that instance, there is no block from them in denying an early release. I’m interested in peoples thoughts of Weekes VS Cook. Weekes has been around the team etc but is a running half like Strange. Cook seems...

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Game Day
Chevy showed good character but didn’t look ready at times in first half. Maybe the second half will be making of him.
Happy to win second half and show fight. Game was gone and we could have folded or fought. We fought so that’s a thing.
Weekes or Cook? That’s the real question now…

Really pleased with this. He has started well and if he continues to be consistent as he becomes more experienced, we have a cracker on our hands.
With all that said…I always shudder a little at these 5 year contracts…Scarred by the campo experience!
