I don't see AFB ripping in like he did last year. He's mentally moved on. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Huh? He ran for 155m last week, had a couple of offloads and made 21 tackles at 100%.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Ata played 32 minutes last week. This is Hosking’s spot but surely Elliott won’t play 80, so could also get 25 minutes when Elliott is on the bench.
So I’m hoping Hosking plays around 50-55 minutes and expect Elliott to play a similar amount.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
The captain should be someone who's undroppable, that's why it should have been Tapine. That was the first mistake, making Whitehead captain in the first place. Many great players have stepped down as captain towards the end of their careers All our captains seem to be droppable - Croker, Hodgson i...

The team was the most likely but disappointing. I can handle Cotric over Schiller/others and I understand needing to bring the captain back in despite also thinking he’s not in our best 17 on ability. But I think a reasonable compromise would’ve been to start Elliott on the bench. This would’ve been...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
I don’t mind that Godfather offer at all. The money has to be used, so let’s gamble on the best young halfback going around.
I think Sanders is the real deal but suspect it might take longer for him to get there than some of us hope (or are expecting).

Anyone else think Hoppa could play the 17 instead of Guler? Surely he could provide cover for an edge if needed? Do we need three props on the bench? Yep. He’s effectively a prop anyway. He just doesn’t defend in the middle. But his best quality is his almost indefatigable work rate, which we don’t...

He dud nothing good the other night , and was very lucky not to be in the bin for a hip drop. That would have defini...

Elliot as the captain comes back in when fit. But he’ll be under pressure if others continue to perform. That’s a pretty consistent approach made by clubs for over a century of rugby league.

One oval stadium for AFL and cricket.
One purpose-built rectangular stadium for league, rugby and football (and events).
It's not hard. We already have the first one. Let's just do the second one really well and expand the first if/when anyone wants to base an AFL team here (AKA never).
