Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

I can’t see Rapa ever playing NSW cup. He hasn’t had a Croker or EW level decline, he’s giving 110% out there every game. I feel like he creates and sets up more opportunities for Timoko than Fog does. I’m happy for him to stay for another year, he’s earned it. EW hasn’t.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

I just watched the game last night and my thoughts on it are: - Whitehead looks HEAVY. I think he's put on weight over the offseason. The commentators remarked that he was out on his feet at the 15 min mark and tbh he did F-all in that time so it's a worry. - Hoppa should never play centre (or fb)....

So here we go again Stuart making another stupid call. Hosking should start Whitehead should be on the bench or NSW Cup. Also, Smithies will probably rotate with Corey when he returns.

Finchy, I think you have just solidified my earlier post. You have some weird agenda against Ricky. Despite the enormous net positive has brought to the club, you look to bag him.

Yes. And put on report.

They’ve cracked down on head clashes as being illegal high contact since Finucane split S.Crichton’s ear trying to put a shot on last year or the year before from memory.
