Re: Corey Harawira-Naera has likely played last game in green

He’s laid down an absolute masterclass in trolling in this thread before a football has even been kicked this season and you’ve all just blundered in head first

So what have we seen in this match from the first grade players when they were on the we’ve addressed the structural issues of our attack?

Perhaps he’s just not a ballplayer?

Hopefully the next generation after this one have some players who can ballplay to break our cycle of none in the last twelve years.

It’s probably pretty telling that Starling and Levi are going to get about forty minutes each when just about anyone else who is a lock for Round 1 got about 20.

It was nice to see Ethan Sanders slot into first receiver on opposite sides of the ruck in consecutive plays then… and Levi not pass it to him on either

Re: Raiders signing speculation 2025

If we were going to pay a 30 year old Jack Wighton 1.1 then we should be able to justify 1.2 for Brown. He's 24, could be the face of the club. However, with Roosters/Warriors involved we're next to no chance I'd suggest. Roosters said not interested which i somewhat believe, they're in the middle ...

Pattie missing is the most interesting part. Is he being saved for round 1 or is he hooker no 3 and not required? I think Pattie will be on the plane to Vegas.

I think for young blokes it's purely defence. If Ricky trusts you to make tackles he'll pick you. Trust in Starling and Levi is very thin given they are both leaving the club at the end of this year. I think you're 100% correct here. Hopefully Pattie performs in the trials and he takes that bench s...
