Re: Raiders and Knights the biggest losers in proposed conference system

So long as the Expansion conference got a subsidy from NRL HQ to help cover the costs of flights and accommodation the Sydney conference wouldn't have to bear, I can't see a real issue with this.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021

Katoni staggs? Pretty sure he grew up in Wellington, which is not far from where jack is from. If we landed Kotoni, I'd get Ricky's face tattooed across my hindquarters and re-name all of my kids a variant of "Ricky". I'd love him down here, the new high-performance joint would fix his kn...

Re: Coaching issues

I am going to copy and paste a post I made at LU but add to it What we should be asking is why are we getting belted in yardage every week when we apparently have a good forward pack. We have won the battle for metres once this year (against the tigers) If you look at it on an individual level guys...

Re: 2021 Rd 6 V Eels: Game Day

Does Aekins have a passing game? Could he be put on a wing and play wing in defence (when CNK comes back) and fullback in attack? He seems undersized for the wing no? I don't get this sudden surge to place Aekins on the wing. He had a serviceable game at FB but he's smaller than our current wingers...

Re: Coaching issues

Im not going to hold it against Whitehead that he's not quite impacting games when our attack is so clunky and he's spent large potions of the season playing centre. Our biggest problem with Whitehead is he's 32 this year and those are big damn shoes that we need to start thinking about filling lon...

Does Aekins have a passing game? Could he be put on a wing and play wing in defence (when CNK comes back) and fullback in attack? I think this is feasable.

Are we incapable of doing two things at once? Like if our defence is fine our attack has to be **** and vice versa? A slightly younger version of me was wondering the same thing earlier on today.

Re: Ricky Stuart joins NRL's newly minted innovations committee

They should stop messing with the rules. If they must change things, focus on tossing out unnecessary rule changes. Like the 20/40. Eliminate multiple choice for where scrums are set. If the coaches like the middle of field... make it that! Or reduce complexity. Like with the obstruction rule. Ther...
