Re: 2024 NRL Round 7: Teams and Game Day

Klein tried so hard to give that game to the Roosters. Nelson gets tackled 1m out from the line, ball on ground defender on him. He gets up to play it and they push him back over the goal line and get a line drop out. Klein reckons he got up to play on, replay showed he was trying to play it, as he ...

Come back to us after round 27 and we’ll see if he’s even in the top 20 hey Billy? It’s like crowing about being in the top 4 after round 6. In fact, if I remember correctly, Billy was doing just that last year when I told him the same thing. We didn’t finish top 4.

Yeah all the media has been about how “Des was right”. Um no, Ricky was right. The Titans got away with 28 unpenalised sets to our 10. They weren’t hard done by at all. And Chevy wasn’t offside! Annesley clearly missed the fact that the Titans play the ball was 11m out, not on the 10m line, so Chevy...

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

I feel like Saulo has either been told (or realised himself) that there are some young guys gunning for his spot. Guler has been dropped, so if he didn't start providing a bit more impact he could suffer the same fate. He's certainly playing with more noticeable intent the last few weeks.

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

Trey has a big choice to make and this is where we see if he has the right people advising him. The raiders won't get into a bidding war for him, and nor should they. He can take big dollars at another club with the high risk of blowing it ( Boyd/Titans, Cotric/Bulldogs , Sutton/Bulldogs, Both Lee ...

I agree. I don’t rate Schuster. Has the occasional good pass or ballsy chip and chase which comes off, but 99% of his game is trash. Fat, lazy, injury prone.

Actually that’s exactly what he said - “We played well tonight”. But then he went into a bit more about it being a professional performance and not getting frustrated, so he was hopefully just referring to dealing with the Titans cheating.
