Does not get any easier for the chooks now without Walker and Teddy.

X5 it was horrible against the sharks. Just means we start every set in our own 10 and get nowhere.

Galvin can also play 2nd row, I think this is where he came on in the trial against the Raiders.

I am assuming he can also play centre.

Won’t be a problem, he will be at the Roosters before we know it….

$550k from 2025 seems ok. By that time he would have had a full year of NSW Cup under his belt.

On the other hand that is a lot of money for a guy if he is not in the 17. How long was the deal rumoured to be?

Interesting that Stick also brought up the performance of the NSW Cup side during the post game press conference. Would love to know what issue/s he is putting both those performances down to. To me this suggests there is a larger issue at the club or a disrupted preparation (Rapana milestone game?)...

Rick

My biggest concern about Stewart at this stage is him being smashed out of a game. Sides would be putting up bombs just to take him out. We saw what Rapana withstood during the Warriors game, I’m not sure Stewart would get through that as this stage. We have seen so far how sides have gone after Sav...

I’ve got some great news actually Just occurred to me that I’m going to be overseas for the next 3 games The raiders are 10/11 in games when I’m in another country over the last 4-5 years :lol: We’re about to get this season back on track Thanks for taking one for the team.

Rick

I'm hoping Strange is given a bit more rope starting with this match. He's been really solid but he hasn't been asked to do any steering or kicking in the first month. We could really do with some variety to our kicking game when the 5 rucks then hit and hope from Fogarty isn't causing any problems...

Too much put into the home ground advantage.

That’s some centre pairing! Matching bookends!

I agree it appears Mooney has more potential than Saulo but at this stage they are very similar and I can see why Stuart favours the more experienced Saulo especially with Mariota already in the 17. Would love to know what’s going on with Mooney’s contract negotiations. He is definitely driving up h...

Rick

Really feel for Trey Mooney. Cut as the 18th man tonight. He should be on the bench in place of Saulo, not left right out. I just shake my head. I agree but also have to acknowledge Saulo has been pretty good this year. His fast play of the balls have directly led to a couple of our try’s. It’s jus...

Rick

Guler/Saulo might start or bench at other clubs, but other clubs concentrate their spending in the spine, so are happy to take a hit in other positions. It's a model that works for them but with our spine, and inability to recruit marquee spine players, would be catastrophic for us. We need the Tap...

South’s brought our Million dollar man only to put him on the wing…..

Is there a worse fullback than Taffe?

That’s the Jack we know

Pet hate is when a fullback does all the hard work getting into position, makes a good call and sees a ball go dead, picks it up and sprints 30m to the 20m line only for lazy forwards not getting themselves back behind the 20. As a result the 30m sprint was for nothing, the defence is rested and set...

Tigers with a spine of;

1-Bula
6-Luai
7- Sezer
9- Koroisau
13- Galvin

Should push a few more sides than they currently do.

I see Norris more as a Luke Brooks…..highly rated but never won anything!

I’m just disappointed this guy was on the books for as long as he was but it took one game for the Panthers to be referred to as Schneider-Man

This just brings up the disappointment that nothing ever eventuated from the ball technology to detect forward passes.

Was good to see a coach back a young half and not try and shield them from the game….

Guler and Saulo would walk straight into starting prop for a lot of teams.

If we have to have Levi in the side then I like the idea of him being paired with Woolford. This would allow Trev to start in NSW Cup and Starling can practice his impact of the bench. Woolford off the bench in the NRL would give us a bit more creativity around the ruck. Why rely on Starling to run ...

Rick

Piastri is always giving that spot up because he's the number 2 driver in the number 2 car. Some teams like Ferrari "let em race" on occasion. McLaren don't. All their top tier work goes into giving Lando Norris the best chance this season. One of the most extreme driver 1 vs driver 2 exa...

Agree. I think that’s our strongest backline we could come up with until Chev forces his way in.

Horse for Saulo and we are good to go.

Was not a big fan of the strategy given to Piastri. They pitted him way too early to start the race and then on his second set of tyres they pitted him way too late which was a huge factor in his wide run into the penultimate corner costing him 4 seconds. To make this worse the team also gave away o...

Rick

I don’t see where Puru’s future is. He is too small to play exclusively as 13 in the NRL. I could see him playing a 2nd hooker/lock role similar to Havali but you would have think if this was his pathway we would see him playing some 9 in Cup. Currently we have too many average hookers blocking up o...

Whitehead might not make the NSW Cup squad….

Interesting on Ata starting at lock, they have used him a few times there now.

Also weird to see Puru in the second row.
