Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders

Whether Sanders comes to us or not, he's not staying at Parra, that is clear.

Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

I know this is hyperbolic and stuff, but honestly. Despite a couple of errors, I just base my love of our squad on effort. Cotric's first grade career - after SO many chances - and reaching the Blues - it just ended for me tonight at the Raiders. James is a real go'er, he wants it more. Cotric could...

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

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.
