Re: Run to the finals

Am I right that if the Dolphins upset the Cowboys we definitely finish 8th regardles of us finishing with 2 losses or any other scenario that plays out?

Re: Canberra Raiders team for 2024

The complete lack of even a mediocre talent signing at fullback or five-eigth makes me believe we're going with Stewart and Strange. I could see a backline of: 1-Stewart 2-Savage 3-Kris 4-Timoko 5-Rapana 6-Strange 7-Fogarty for next year. If this is a means to an end, get them in, blood them, aim f...

What do we do with the 4 hookers we already have?

Re: Jack Wighton to join South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2024

The one area i'd target for an outside recruitment is Hooker. If we could get a really good and experienced FG hooker to come in to help ease the burden on those guys it would be a huge positive imo... i know the club has a lot of really good young hooking talent however they're all probably 3-4 ye...

I think we remain only 50/50 to make the finals. I can't see us winning another game so it will come down to Souths beating the Chooks. That is a 50/50 proposition imo. Tips in Chooks favour if Latrell is suspended It could also come down to Panthers not resting stars against the Cowboys in the las...

Re: Jarrod Croker

We honestly can't pick Croker in the centres going forward. It is unfortunate and I know he is a great guy, great Raider and great leader. But Cotric is a better player right now, Kris is our best left centre and our attack goes to another level when Rapana is at fullback. Not rocket science.

I agree with the sentiment above Botman. In fact I have long advocated for signing Liam Martin and personally would prefer him at his price point than Fifita.

I agree with the above, Sanders and Fog can absolutely play together.

And I also think Hudson is bit too off the cuff to pair with a rookie half. Best to switch...
