With sanders.

Good one

Cherry picked headline. The stats he showed were damning. Another 28 times or something that could have/should have been called offside by the titans that weren't. Foran took more time than my deceased granmaamy to fire that kick away. I would like to see the vision of Fogarty's kick and whether any...

Then he'll have a get out clause cause des looked at him the wrong way and we'll wheel the ramp out again Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Keen to get eyes on the much fabled ramp.

Old School Green

People are complaining about our poor hookers. Fair I guess. But... FB is the most important attacking position in the modern game. We have an undercooked rookie there. Until he finds his feet, we'll look a bit rubbish in attack- with basically no attacking input from the FB (see '23 Kris but less ...

Old School Green

Agree with most that has been said. Need to win those. Who would have thought that out of four teams who played golden point this weekend, that we would be the only team to win. Johnson; DCE; Foran etc…but Fogs nailed it when it counted. Nickman spot on about Chev. He was non existent in backline at...

Did you go out there today to take those photos, GE? I was out there for lunch today. They have a good steak. Thought people might like to see what the club looks like right now. If people would like to see how the other Raiders clubs look, I'll take some pics of them too next time I'm out at those...

Old School Green

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!

Old School Green

Yeah some cup sides are also so out of whack because of first grade or players playing up a grade to develop you have to watch them play like it's a trial. Looking at individual skills and effort rather than the overall sides performance. Good post. I agree. Their lineups literally change weekly an...

Old School Green

Mal would crazy to walk into that mess, as a fill in for this year only. Kind of makes sense given his relationship with a lot of those players from the Ozzie team. I think it would suit Mal. I don't think he harbours any NRL fulltime coaching gig so really he is minding the furniture, keeping them...

Old School Green

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.

Old School Green

Welcome back hoppa and cotric.

Savage horrible; Schiller horrible; Horse appalling

Old School Green

You'd have to think Saulo gets the nod. He's an old Knights boy and that will be a game within a game for him you would suspect

Old School Green

Surely Levi gets the starting nod over Woolford, with Starling on the bench? The Hosking call about centre is an interesting one; had not considered it. Would it be marking Best? Schiller had a great semi against them up there last year (albeit on the wing) and was solid in the second trial and pret...

Old School Green

We looked good in first half. Provided strange isn’t suspended he has to start. Chuck in taps, raps, Kris, horse… I say we start the season in better shape than last. Levi for sure with starling off the bench at hooker. Puru looked good. Smithies and Hosking strong when on and Hola I thought looked ...

Old School Green

Reserve graders really looking it in the second half. Does anyone really think Woolford is starting ahead of Levi ?!! Strange played himself into 6 with a cracker of a first half (subject to that dangerous tackle it doesn’t look great.) The Reggie’s looking very average against a first grade quality...

Old School Green

Pleased we didn't pay that for Luciano. Good player, but not 900k when you have a look at junior's coming through. It might also mean there is some life in CHN yet? It may also mean, as noted above, that our custom designed Fifita ramp will undoubtedly be dusted off and (Toyota) forklifted out of it...

Old School Green

I say pick him and next move NRL. This process is a shambles. Should be one rule for all end of story. Pick him Stick and make the NRL explain the ridiculousness and double standard.

I agree. Sanders second half has been quite average thus far. Strange looking pretty comfortable

Old School Green

I dont really see a lot of value in Rapana as an impact utility tbh He's a lunatic who i think his value is in that over a full 80 minutes he'll give you more than he'll take... off the bench, i think he's likley to try to do too much too quickly and frankly... that's when the Rapa experience can g...

Old School Green

Geez is there a more disliked former than Curtis Scott? I’m leaving Brett Finch out of this intentionally and for good reason. Before the really awful behaviour, I don’t think he was as disliked as Scott. *Waits for BJ to pull out and Danny Levi to step in and fight Scott….the GH would have a real ...

Old School Green

Crazy that Raiders players are now 3 from 3.
Scott; Starling and Wighton. All incidents where Police were found to be in the wrong in their actions.

Makes me wonder whether Papa actually yeeted the Nivea or whether there was a guy with exceptionally supple skin in AFP kit on a grassy knoll hmmm

Old School Green

Plenty of work to be done in the next 2-3 seasons with such a young group of players coming through. Personally I liked the Elliott approach, signing Jason Smith to guide Todd Carney through the perils of getting regularly **** faced at Mooseheads. I thought that system worked out quite well. Sent ...

Old School Green

If Saints really want him they should be signing him to a proper contract for 2025 and beyond. Looks like they just want him as a stopgap backup hooker for the season themselves. I'd be interested to know if we released him, he took up a year stopgap contract at the Dragons and started training wit...

Old School Green

So people blowing up in November because we maybe wanted to let Woolford go….Now blowing up because we want to keep him?? Can’t win…obviously Ricky’s fault…worst coach ever etc etc If Woolford is any club’s number one hooker then they are a club in need in that position. I agree with the assertion ...

Old School Green

I wouldnt bet against the guy myself. Might be that he's a newer version of Blake Austin but i think it's more likely with the defences keyed into trying to stop Walsh he'll continue to be an impact player for the Broncos. Yeh no doubt he benefits immensely from Walsh. I agree that whilst I think h...

Old School Green

Completely ok not getting into a bidding war for a winger.

EDIT if he doesn’t like the offer and want to return then so be it.

Old School Green

I’d say Graham is in his ear and if he comes to OZ it will be with dragons.

I agree it’s looks like we are locked in with SSS now and can’t say I’m mad about it. If their development continues they too will be close to the cream of that crop of youngsters coming through.

Old School Green

Leilua said that two years ago he had COVID, in ICU for three days and almost died. :o I thought we knew that at the time? Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk Yep pretty sure I remember that Both him and Aloiai got it at the same time didn’t they (they were training partners from memory) and that’...

Old School Green

Good luck to him but I'm not sure the pathway to NRL is any easier for him there either. Brian Kelly, Phillip Sami, Patrick Herbert, Jojo Fifita and Pereira all ahead of him. Then you have Brimson and Campbell. I think theres another talented young bloke I'm missing too. Hard to see where he gets a...

Old School Green

Can coach and is a quality person and a quality communicator. As bluesbrother noted he has spent the last 20 years working with young men and has not been purely a product of football clubs workwise. I think it is a very handy addition, particularly given the young guys coming through and the phase ...

Old School Green

Jnr’s biggest issue when he was young was that he didn’t talk. His schoolboy Union and League days where he was dominant, he was very quiet, never speaking up. Like almost mute. He is an Eddie’s boy so awash with Stuart/ Madge/ Giteau connections. I think Madge was initially involved in him going to...

Jack carrying on like a teenager at Souffs on his first day. Gross.

Old School Green

I would argue sometimes it’s easy to pick which players could be a good coach and who couldn’t. Most of the time for most of players it’s impossible to know. Jack Wighton has a monkey clapping cymbals together in his head. He’s no future tactical coaching genius. Cam Smith could have been an accoun...
