Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

to be fair we have dominated posession in both games so far so that would throw his work rate stats off a bit, probably need a few more games to get an accurate look at things Come on Kiwi!

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

As is usual for me, I'll be interested to see how DL performs defensively against the Warriors pack. I was curious about this, because i felt the same about his performance defensively being poor, in both work rate and efficiency, but understanding my own bias i wanted to get a more objective look ...

Honestly Whitehead can't just walk into the starting 13. Hosking's has been brilliant . He has to retain the right side 2nd row position.

DWZ scored 21 tries last year, i'd be staggered if CNK didnt play a major part in at least half of those whether he got the TA for it is another matter.
Johnson is obviously a major factor, but so is the attacking structure(coaching)

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

think we offered something similar to get Tapine from Newcastle.
It is what it is for the Raiders. no one else is taking our money, established top tier halves would knock us back even if we doubled that offer .

I'm no Levi fan boy but Stuart was probably never going to toss him aside after only 120mins of first grade for the club.
