Re: 2018 Rd 23 V Roosters: Game Day

I’m going to be honest here and say a big reason for that win yesterday was Roosters players being absolutely punished in a very very heavy training week with their coach having a view to the finals in a few weeks time.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018

Sam Williams has some good attacking skills. But he continues to make bad reads in defence, run out in defence or inexplicably slide on the try line and miss key tackles.

Every opposition coach knows this. It doesn’t take stats to know who to target in the defensive line.

At least having Wighton in the halves would give us strong defenders in the halves. Sezer wasn’t great defensively in the first half yesterday, but is generally pretty good.
