Re: Ex Raiders... where are they now?

Brad Schneider named halfback for the Panthers with Cleary out for a while. Be really interesting to see how he goes in a dominant team. I hope he does well. He was very very good.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 4: Teams and Game Day

Yeah, I never really rated him as a NRL level half and I don’t think we’ll ever miss him, but he seems like a nice guy and I wish him well and I’m glad to see him doing a job for a red hot Panthers team as a back up to Cleary He’s just a good back up half Because he kicks well and tackles well You ...

Interesting little story there about how Penrith identified Schneider as a talent. They played against him a couple of years ago and were impressed with how he handled Kikau defensively.

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

If Rapa didn't miss 5 seasons of footy between 2009-2013, he could be playing his 350th game by now. Then again, perhaps his hiatus protected his body, giving rise to his current longevity.

Not many outside backs still running around at 34-35 and delivering much quality footy. Rapa is a beast.

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)....
