So he won't be available

Re: Raiders star's career remains in limbo nine months after terrifying seizure

Personally i think we blantantly breach the salary cap and risk crippling points deductions and massive fines and simply give the man a duffle bag full of high valued goods and cash. A Gucci bag with the deed to a house, keys to a BMW, speed boat and 500k cash should solve this problem for us. Righ...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

You’re looking at the wrong names in my opinion. Stewart and Sanders I think are 2025 propositions. This year it’s Hosking as a full timer Asomua and Schiller having a crack at the backline (I haven’t seen much of Asomua so I don’t know if he’s ready. But Schiller should be in the mix) Mariota and ...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Ricky loves his captains. Campo, Croker and now Whitehead all taking up valuable space. Tarps will likely be next Captain, and while I’m not questioning his current form, his best days are likely behind him. 2022 was his absolute peak. If he is 2025 captain he will still be a good player but one on...

Good to see him lock down a position. Savage is our no 1 winger now Cotric has really regressed Correct. Hoppa is also ahead of him and I’d dare say Schiller and Asomua would be too if given a chance, which they should get next time there’s an injury. Worryingly, I’m not seeing the usual desperatio...
