Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1
Years of bagging the Jarrod Croker to only continuously sing the praises of Semi Valemei, who quite frankly had the most embarrassing performance of any Raider I’ve ever seen. I’ve got Orford’s game against the Gold Coast where he orchestrated a loss out of nowhere amid the worst six-game period in...

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day
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.

Re: Coaching issues
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 ...
