Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Looking to see a team come though as the young generation, with our senior players for the raiders providing guidance, Rapana for guts and dedication is a perfect role model. Papalii for new forwards like Trey Mooney and Simi Sasagi, Peta Hola the game again to witness history in the making. Seen a...

Re: Raiders look to extend Ethan Strange contract

President Clinton wrote: April 10, 2024, 4:14 pm I am genuinely interested to know why Sanders, Strange and Stewart chose the Raiders. I assume they have/had other clubs nipping at their heels.

Maybe it is the perceived pathway to FG? Maybe it is Ricky Stuart, or a combination.
You could just say the Raiders moved them... TO A BIGGER HOUSE!

Like a speed bump Lockyer. Coming is as the second man as someone’s already hit schiffa a small man and made him stumble. Still gets trampled.

Re: Corey Harawira Naera’s career remains in limbo

2024 Round 6 v Titans: Teams and Previews

Also, how good is it to see some free-flowing attacking movement? It’s interesting, we’re now suddenly executing these lovely sweeping backline plays, and it’s essentially all players who were here last season, like Levi to Tapine to Fogarty to Rapana to Timoko, even though we were repeatedly told o...

I’d like to see the same team as last night get a run but Woolford in for Starling. I’m really starting to like Danny Levi now, he’s definitely growing on me.

In general, team selections in 2024 have been good.
