Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Good team. Looking forward to this game.
I’m glad we had a week off after the Manly game. It’s sometimes hard to readjust after the excitement of that kind of comeback.
I also like how Rapa had a couple of extra weeks to get fit. He’ll be chomping at the bit to get out there.

3 - Elliott. He’s struggled for years but tonight we saw what he did so well for most of his time in green. His anticipation is second to none. The Kaeo assist was all-time. 2 - Cotric. It was apparent very early that Nic had come to play because he was took lots of hit-ups and was pushing through t...

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
Just back from the hill at Brookie. You know it is a good night at the office when the shirts are off and Manly fans are so triggered they are chucking cans. Hahaha what a beautiful night. Enjoy. So envious! I could think of nothing better than coming from 20-0 down to win against Manly at Brookvale.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day
interesting alternate reality... if EW wins the challenge down 22-24, we probably kick for goal I said in a group chat at the time and almost everyone in it agreed... losing the challenge and being forced to play for the win was a blessing in disguise and our best chance to snatch a very unlikely w...

I wonder if it is pride. Ricky definitely has that in spades but who’s he too proud to admit a mistake to? Us? I doubt it. The media? They’re not pointing out issues with selections. They never do. Lots of people claimed Ricky was too proud to admit he should’ve played Savage but he overcame it by ...

In 2026, Strange, Sanders and Chevy will still only be 21 years old. I’d like to think we’d be up towards the top of the table but they’ll still be very young for spine players and I think having the premiership cut-off date that soon is unreasonable. Strange could have 40-50 games under his belt by...

They will need him - Origin period. Kaeo Weekes has signed a 2 year deal. Flying a bloke in for 4 weeks and saying to Kaeo we don't think you're good enough isn't good management IMO.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders reportedly agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025
This is some all-time great recruitment by the club. Identifying the best young talent and signing them over a number of years. And all key position players. Quite incredible really.
It may not work out as we hope but the club has given itself the best chance of building a successful team.

And I’d have hoped the promise of Rapa’s spot from next season would’ve been enough.
But maybe the Knights offered big money.
