Re: Raiders halves since Stuart

I truly believe that's a structure/ management issue. He's either not being coached effectively or he's simply getting out called by Austin and Hodgo. That's one thing I admired about Cronk Smith and Slater. They worked together because that's what great players do: they realise and utilise the gif...

Re: Josh Hodgson out for up to nine months with ACL

When the Cowboys lost Thurston last year, after also losing Matt Scott, everyone wrote them off. Yet there they were in the Grand Final. None of us yet know who may be in the 9 for the Raiders but I certainly won't be writing off season 2018 before a ball is kicked off. Injuries are part of footy. ...

Re: Josh Hodgson out for up to nine months with ACL

I’m crying but that doesn’t help. So what will we see to start next season?

Sezer, Austo and Williams all in he team? Or does Garvey finally fulfil his potential with a guaranteed starting berth?

Re: Raiders sign Craig Garvey on one year deal

I don’t think it’s an unreasonable conclusion that the squad has become/is becoming weaker from 2016 to 2017 to 2018. Which makes me very concerned about 2018... given the Raiders missed the finals in 2017. The players being retained... well they’re going to have to step up hugely on what they deli...

Re: Raiders sign Craig Garvey on one year deal

What’s minimum wage these days - 80 odd? So assuming horse and Garvey combined wouldn’t break the 200k mark.

Baptiste must’ve been a chunk more than that and I’m pretty sure we need to fill squad numbers up as well right?

Re: Toughest preseason ever

Anyone else notice Dynamic Lui sucking in big ones at the end of the latest vid? he's coming back from a knee reco, at least he has some excuse and is pushing himself I was more surprised that he's back up and running (with us) again. When he went down I'm pretty sure most of us had written him off.

Re: Sam Williams signs two year deal with Raiders

I think it's depth but not just for form, though this would be a big part of it.

I'm pretty sure there were a number of games this season where Austo or Sezer were carrying niggling injuries and Stick had noone that he could confidently use to give either a spell.
