Re: Canberra Raiders join race for Matt Dufty

The irony about people commenting on CNK's passing issues is it was his ball to Leilua that should have seen us leading in the 2019 GF. Beautiful ball in that instance.

Re: 2022 New halfback?

Dylan Brown should be our target for sure. Not available next year but nabbing him a year early in 2023 could be possible if/when the Eels are feeling the Salary Cap pinch.

Re: 2021 Rd 12 V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

If Hodgson starts at 9 and plays 40-50 minutes there before moving to 13 to finish the game and play the full 80 we may win. If not I fear a drubbing. I think he should start at hooker and sub off around the 30 minute mark. Returning to 13 in the last 25-30 He's still a top 5 hooker in the NRL. I u...

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes

I hope we are in on Hynes myself and if we have Hodgson money to spend as well I think we could gain a lot by going for the Storm trifecta of Hynes, Smith and Finucane. We'd need to clear more salary of course.

Ricky and Don must have private photos of Paul Kent, because any time anyone on the NRL360 desk tries to criticise the Raiders, PK immediately leaps to our defence.

I legitimately think the fact Ricky is coach is playing a part. He is extremely unpopular - if we had any other coach our support levels would rise to varying degrees.

I just read on Fox that Hynes is looking for $1m/3yrs. If $330K a year is what he wants I think that is extremely reasonable and we should be having a fair crack at him.

George got what he deserved, he was playing games with the club. I don't believe for a second he could not train or play this weekend and I'm glad the club moved him on immediately. 10 years ago we would have let the tail wag the dog but not anymore which pleases me as a fan.
