Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews

Did he slot in there on the weekend? If he didn't then I think it's less likely to happen Maybe a bench spot to cover both backs and forwards. I also thought Hosking to centre but having him on the bench gives us really good backline cover. If they played him at centre and we had an injury we could...

Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

If I had not seen the Raiders play before this year I would have Levi at 9 and Starling at 14, however we all saw what happened last year and the year before.

Has Fogarty played left side before? Also Sanders plays left doesn’t he?

Centre to FB last game.

Ricky knows what he brings to an edge, he had him there most of last year.

Re: 2024 Rd 1 v Knights: Teams and Previews

This is what a Ricky Stuart rebuild looks like. A mix of youth that is either too raw (Chevy/Strange/Sanders) or sub-par(Hoppa/Saulo), mixed in with a few very well paid forwards long past their best and declining. Don’t forget selecting the 3rd choice journeyman hooker. Can’t wait…. Sent from my i...

Re: 2024 Trial 2 v Cowboys: Teams and Game Day *Teams p1*

Hoppa and Cotric are on ice this trial as they will be our Rd 1 wingers: Hate it but it’s the most likely outcome.

Hoppa js playing 20 mins of FB this trial as if Rapana goes down mid game he is it.

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

Happy to have ES coming but think the trial showed he is not ready for FG this year. With that in mind if he is getting NSW Cup games at Parra then we should not be swapping anyone to get him here early unless it suits us (Levi, Guler etc.)

If Rapana will be starting the season at 1 then why isn’t Chev playing 1 in the trial? This would be the first chance to see him play against a NRL standard side and now it’s a wasted opportunity by Stick unless there is a late change which would seem weird for a trial.

There is blue, green and yellow in the multicultural design, all club colours. It doesn’t have to look anything like the traditional jersey.

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

In one of the videos the Raiders put up (maybe the NFL one) they interviewed Rapa who was not wearing a shirt. He looked lean as and I suggested it may be to start the year at FB. Bit of experience in the spine would do well until Stewart or Savage put their hand up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did not know a spine with B. Smith and Hughes in it could be so bad. Tavaga and TM really did not do them any favours and trying to go around the Indigenous side especially in the wet was a poor strategy.
