His service hasn't been bad. He put in a Hail Mary kick on the last play of the half. If it came off it is a miracle try after the buzzer, as long as the Knights don't score no harm no foul.

Re: 2023 Rd 11 v Eels: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Savage might have a bright future but he often gets physically dominated in tackles and Sivo is the exact type of player who would dominate him and take him over the sideline like others have. The GH is obsessed with Savage and obsessed with dropping our 2 captains despite the fact we have won 4 str...

Re: Canberra Raiders co-captain Jarrod Croker eyes round one return

The fact that he played most of his games in NSW cup this year is an indication that Ricky probably doesn't see him as an automatic selection at this point in his career. If Croker can work his way back into the team then that can only be a good thing for the team as long as it isn't due to an injur...

Re: 2021 Rd 11 V Storm: Teams and Previews

Melbourne haven't played yet they could yet be hit hard by the crackdown. The Storm are always pushing the rules as far as they can and if there is any consistency around this round I would be very surprised if they will get through without any charges.

Re: 2020 Rd 6 V Eels: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

I am ok with Havili being used as a forward as he often gets good post contact meters but rather not have him and Starling on the bench Starling just doesn't provide enough utility which we have lacked when our backs have gone down injured. Kris would be a great option for utility on the bench.

Given he was going to be suspended they should take any penalty and avoid carry over points. Not sure on either of the tackles as the camera angles didn't really show the impact.

Disappointed to see Oldfield leave but he will likely get a better opportunity elsewhere. He is too good to be left in reserves for most of his career but there are younger prospects with higher potential ceilings ahead of him.
