Sivo was off balance too. So it was more spectacular than it really was.

It would be interesting to know the scenario for these missed tackles as I can’t remember any clear try causes. There’s probably some defensive areas he can improve on, but I’ve noticed he likes to get himself to marker on the fifth tackle and run hard towards the opposition kicker and he then gets ...

Sundays squad will be very disappointing for some on the Greenhouse who like to follow Team List Tuesday with Team Whinge Wednesday.

I can’t tell if Purtell was our quickest winger as the stopwatch did a full lap of the clock before he finished the 100.

BJ

We better lock him up before Roosters go after him. Surely a young half wants to avoid Roosters after the way they’ve treated some of their past halves. I wouldn’t want that spotlight and performance pressure that early in my career. Develop your skills and reap the benefits long term at a place wh...

I kinds felt those guys you mentioned had either already played a bit of first grade or were a bigger known quantity than Sanders. But certainly you guys provide some very good examples, it would be interesting to know what their salaries were to change clubs. Would any have been $700k salary cap pr...

BJ

Can someone help answer a question, as I genuinely can’t think of one.

When has paying big money for a completely untested young half from another NRL club worked?

Usually thee guys come on lower money, with a clear pathway to first grade and a ratchet contract.

BJ

So no arguments that the Dylan Brown thing is madness, but in terms of Raiders ratings, the ABC call team had Morgan Smithies the best raider on the ground by quite a distance. It was Timoko and Strange getting the 2 and 1 behind him I think I recall. Not saying Timoko didn’t have a blinder or that...

BJ

Yes Souths talk.

Another episode of 360 waiting for some Raiders chat after an impressive win. But 30 minutes of Raiders talk and the rest on other Sydney teams.

Yes.

Erm, I don’t think Leipana were given much (if any) coaching license, they just took it! Ricky has a pretty good track record tightening up a loose player with attacking flair, but not a good record in expanding the attack of a limited player. I think Leluia probably said as much recently, and both...

BJ

Yeah Levi was better than a 6. Started a number of our breaks by squaring up the defence out of dummy half, continues to back up our line breaks through the middle and took the right option many times, especially the dummy half scoot around an offside marker on the blind side. I’ve previously been o...

Just watching the game again… the early disallowed try for Schiller… the pass was called forward. But there was no way it was forward. I was in line and I did not think so live either. The referees we generally get allocated really aren’t up to the mark. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk There were ...

Keith Barnes has died aged 89. Fitting. That 89 number killed so many great Balmain players. In all honesty, a great player, great administrator and a sad loss for the rugby league community. BTW I like how the 1989 Grand Final is now being shared and recognised amongst the players of both teams. B...

BJ

Hudson pass to Savage was perfect too. He threw it quickly at the hole for Xavier to run into.

BJ

Yep. One judge rated Dylan Brown above Timoko last night.

Probably also thinks Glenn McGrath was a better bat than Don Bradman.

Or the most likely scenario is Timoko’s name got buried at the bottom of the hat when he pulled the names out.

BJ

Funny how last year raiders would get beat by just a few points and not get a single Dally M point for a player, but we absolutely flog a team and their players get points??????

BJ

I’m scoring out of 10, Schiller a 8 as an attacking weapon and a 3 defensively.

Hopoate I can only give a 3 attacking and a 5 defensive.

BJ

Yes good work mentioning Fogs in game kicking. Not for goal though.

They couldn’t start a set well because of the high long kicks that gave our chasers time to stop any return momentum from Gutho or Sivo.

That little chip, chase and second kick showed game awareness and skill too.

Casey Badger is the best video ref. Not sure why she is always running the line while we have clowns like the idiot in NZ the other week stinking things up. She missed a blatant ball on the line earlier The old 4K OLED showed the ball touching blades of grass inside the line before the rest of the ...

Yep me too

Enjoyed the way our players just focused on trying to play the ball as fast as possible. None of that trying to milk a penalty or engaging verbally with the marker before playing the ball. Saulo might not have the fastest play the ball on average but he has as least 2 super fast play the balls a gam...

Timoko 3
Levi 2
Savage 1

Apart from the obvious standouts, I’m gonna give Levi and Saulo a wrap.

I think our players can be a bit overrated around here. One of these 'promising juniors' who's being spruiked as a big achievement for us isn't even signed, another hasn't played first grade and the last looks promising but all he's doing is running and tackling right now and we need a bit more fro...
