Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I expected Whitehead to be back starting but it’s so so disappointing to see Mariota dropped, I honestly thought it’d be Guler.

Good win, have a nice weekend guys, especially you crabslord, sounds like you need a relaxing one.

For all the punters, there’s a clear strategy to follow with the Raiders, of when to bet, when not to and the margin. The easiest team to make money on.

Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

I loved John Bateman as a player here during his time in green.

The other thing about Stuart’s gravitas with the Sydney media is that it’s always about him. The team is nauseatingly referred to as “Ricky’s Raiders” all the time and then his media performances dominate the headlines, again making it all about him. It’d be nice if the focus was skewed towards per...

I agree with Nickman, Kris stays at fullback, Croker at centre, Hoppa also back at wing. I’m not sold on Savage yet, I’d love to see him get some confidence and kill it at NSW cup level before coming back into first grade. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Ricky leave Kris there the entire year if we’r...
