Keep hearing how bad the dragons are. Well. 4 points ahead of us aren't they. People take the piss out of Corey Norman and for the most part rightly so but tell me he hasn't been better than Jack Wighton this year. Go on. At least he occasionally creates something. Wighton has been dreadful this sea...

That's sad. What a joke of a club that we have become.

haha it is. Is it wrong though?

Northern Raider wrote: ↑June 5, 2021, 12:23 pm Just to confirm. We're talking about Luke Brooks who's played halfback for Tigers this past 8 years?

Yep. Around an absolute shower of ****. Saw nothing from Sezer in his time with us to suggest he'd have guided any of those tigers teams in to the 8

Hazza

Brooks cops a bad rap. Isn't anywhere near as bad as people make out. I wouldn't be leaping for joy if we end up with him but it'd be far from a disaster. Would obviously prefer Johnson. On that, can anyone confirm Stick was spotted in the shire with SJ yesterday arvo?

Hazza

I'm sorry but anyone that still thinks Simonsson is 1st grade standard is cooked. Always found it odd the amount that seem to rate him. 3 of our current back 5 are reserve graders. I have the same observation about Bailey as well. Caleb I agree but he's a back up. Kris - need to see longer. V disap...

Have the Fox League commentary team looked at the Raiders' list of OUTS? I've heard at length about the Roosters' list of outs... but no mention of the Raiders. It's not an excuse, but it is annoying how one sided the commentary is at times. On paper, our team is still far superior. We just got sch...

The thing about our interest in Hynes if true is I could picture us putting him in the 7 and keep CNK at fullback. It might not turn out to be the worst decision but I think we really do need to upgrade at fullback as well as finding a replacement half, especially under these rules. Buy a good FB a...

The Nickman wrote: ↑May 27, 2021, 10:27 pm We already have a fullback... can he play in the halves?

We do already have a fullback. Guess what? Hynes is a better fullback. No reason CNK can't be an elite winger/centre. But...if we keep CNK there, Hynes would be fine at half, played most of his junior footy there.

Hazza

Is Hynes going to be good when he leaves the Storm System? Always worries me getting a Storm play and they look average elsewhere. Is Hynes just playing well cause he is looking for a contract cause I can’t say he stood out last year or 6 weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you can't s...

Roosters - 50

I don’t think we even have a kicker on the squad now with Croker and Williams both out

Sammy can kick them

Of course it is. Taking the piss out of Hoops is the done thing on social media. The majority wouldn't have even bothered to read the story.

Shaun Johnson. Get it done.

Inspirational words from the supercoach. Inspires a lot of confidence.

So, I'm hearing strong rumours (as in I may have personally seen) that now Tapine's wife has had a public shot at Rocky Stewart, essentially saying that blaming the ref is pointless when his bench use is "killing us", in particular to one "international forward" who warmed the b...

Hazza

Seen a few people praising the lads for 'having a crack'. Admirable effort etc.. They're 1st grade Rugby League players, they shouldn't be praised for trying. That should be a minimum requirement I'd have thought. It's like praising the postman for delivering your mail.

Hazza

Souths were awful in the 1st half and we only lead by 2. That's where the game was lost. We should've been up by far more at ht. What happened in the 2nd half was inevitable. At no stage did I think we were winning that game.

Hazza

I honestly can't comprehend how anyone thinks Horse isn't in our best 17. You've all forgotten how good he is, he was outstanding for us before he got hurt last year. For anyone that's seen, how's he been going in reserve grade?

Hazza

Full credit to Rayden83 for sticking to his guns with an unpopular opinion. I don't necessarily agree but it certainly isn't as ludicrous a take as is being made out. I'm a massive Horse fan. And there's no way he should ever be out of our 17 when available. Everyone loves Sia but there's no way he ...

Who's our goalkicker with Crokes out? Apologies if already covered. Haven't read through the whole thread.

might be a good player but that highlights reel didnt show much.

TBH the highlight was him putting in an odd kick (but then he is playing an odd game) and having a whinge for being taken out.

lol what exactly were the highlights?

Saw an article the other day with the headline "Are the sharks the worst top 8 team ever". Well if they lose to us with that backline they'll answer that question won't they.

1. 5th is no way better than 4th. 2. Parra won't lose so it's irrelevant. 3. Were not beating the sharks this week, however it's irrelevant. Interesting you can confidently say a team that lost 38-0 to Souths (who have been poor since) definitely won't lose. You have more faith in them then me. I t...

Melbourne have rested their entire backline and half of their forwards. I'm happy with this, keen to see the young guys have a crack. I've never even heard of Adam Cook. 4th would be ideal but the Tigers are pea hearted so it's a moot point. Penrith are riding a special wave, so just because they a...

Hazza

Obviously, ideally we finish 4th (still think there's a fair chance that happens, I give Tigers a very good chance of knocking off Parra last rd) play Penrith week 1, worst case we lose and get a home final following week v Parra or Sharks, best case we win and in the prelim. But the way it's pannin...

Hazza

A small knock in the same spot can re aggravate the injury apparently, would be silly to play him this weekend imo. Give him the week off and bring him back for Warriors.

Hazza

CHN is an edge backrower and always will be. Playing him in the middle don't work. We won't see his best until next year when he replaces Bateman on an edge.

Hazza

The titans have been throwing it around the last couple of weeks, they made 11 linebreaks v the sharks and I think would've won if not for the send off. They'll try and get us out wide, have a very handy backline.

Hazza

Both cleared to play. No worries.

Hazza

So why all the anger towards the players? because our team is undermanned and their reasons, unless medical, are redundant. Oh because of the game...I get it now. Yeah pretty much. This is a Canberra Raiders rugby league Forum isn't it? All I care about is they're running out Saturday night, spare ...
