Re: 2024 Trial 1 v Eels: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

Guler has never done it for me tbh. Today he was again ... at-best ... loafing with no leg speed.

I thought Cotric played himself back into a spot.

The most complicated one of all for me was holy moly Ethan looked so small, he looked like the perfect halfback bodyshape

I dunno what we do there.

Bit of an each way bet here Nacho. You are questioning Andy’s statement about Olam being dropped.

Speaking of Bellamy, interesting that he dropped his centre because he wasn't happy with his performance in their loss to the Knights last weekend. In that game, Justin Olam scored a try, busted 8 tackles and ran 141m! He missed 4 tackles though. One coach has standards and is the most successful c...

Re: Canberra Raiders table fresh offer for David Fifita

Absolutely fantastic offer.

If you have someone like Fifita running off our 5/8th who isn't a $1m half, say, Seb, then it makes perfect sense. Just give him the ball.

If you can get a 5/8th and an edge running around as a duo for 1.5m/m a year I reckon it's good moneyball.
