What do we make of Magic Round being a home game? Doesn't our current agreement with the ACT Government only allow a certain number of games to be taken away from Canberra in a 5 year period? Clearly we have taken the cash on offer to be a home team for Magic Round rather than have 12 games at Canbe...

Very nice surprise to have a game for magic round. I thought for sure we'd miss out this year. I think they’re rewarding clubs with the best support at the ground and the teams that have fans who travel most. The Raiders have lots of fans in Brisbane… who turn up regardless of how the team is going...

England captain George Williams knows a thing or two about Canberra, and about Smithies: https://www.nrl.com/news/2023/11/02/from-paphos-with-love-smithies-set-for-summer-sojourn-after-test-debut/ George could have told him about how he was held captive when he dared cross a state border. Still he c...

Forgot to tell him what we call the sport too.

I just ask the same question: The DPP had access to that footage - so why did they take this to court? Arguably the police, at 3am, dealing with a whole heap of intoxicated people are making decisions on the spot and are going to get some wrong - but how can someone in the cold light of day suggest ...

What hasn’t been talked about here was how good he was in NSW Cup after he made his debut. He was a big part of our run to the finals. In the end we ran out of forwards and got smashed in the semi but Strange playing at 5/8 was massive in every game leading up to there.

Doesn’t look to be many tickets sold at all.

Hard to see NZ being competitive with the same side as last week against an Australian side which on paper appears to be stronger with Haas and Tino back.

So had Jarrod Croker. The end can come quickly for some players.

No might about it, guys like Mooney and Ata wont stick around to play NSW Cup when they're getting into 22-23 yo range. If they dont get their opportunities here, they'll find them elsewhere... given where Stuart has very publicly said he's taking our squad, Mooney needs to be prioritised in terms ...

I love how the english club press releases always emphasise a "significant transfer fee" I guess they have to spin it as a positive to their fans some how. of course they do - that's how the English professional sports system works. Every day the papers are full of football transfer specu...

I am no expert in the criminal justice system, but I do know that for a matter to go to court the DPP needs to decide the case is worthwhile going to court. It is fair to say that there seems to be some astounding evidence presented in ACT courts that you would have thought would have been asked whe...

I would be very surprised if Savage and Stewart aren't the two fastest at the club.

It doesn't necessarily mean they get to the right position compared to others to use that speed.

Bay53

The other unknown is, what rights the Raiders have in the mutual option. Presumably, they have the option to extend if they wish at a contract price lower than the price available to the player. If he’s playing good footy, another year would be good business. As a mutual option, presumably the play...

I can't remember once in Jarrod Croker's career did the Raiders issue lime green tracksuits to the players. So I doubt he owns one to take on or off. Remember the 90s and those parachute material trackies Remember them? Mate I still wear them! (Mainly only at home!) Don’t have a line green one thou...

Yeah but it is a better blue collar. Bluer.

Remember we are team of brawlers so of course we are blue collar.

Why? Shirley it would be the opposite. Kiwis coach only has handful of games after the season has concluded. How would that conflict with mid year Origin? Because NSWRL is part of the ARL. Forgive my naivety, but how is that an issue? What part of that prevents him from doing both roles? Call me ol...

Bay53

If Guler gets in the PMsXIII then surely Horsburgh would have been in either as well or instead of, so does that mean the game counts as a match of Corey's suspension?

Bay53

And what? push him through some major development hoops for exactly one year? Why waste their time preparing him for us? And how motivated is he going to be playing at his wage when he's being denied significant upgrade here where his future lies? The only reason for them to keep him is spite. Noth...

If they had designs on him to be in a FG role, it's hard to imagine he'd have been handled the way he was late this year. I get the concerns... but i dont see it. Nothing about what Parra have done suggests that. Everything reported suggests their motives are to extract an asset of value in exchang...

If I am Brad Arthur, I am desperate for success in 2024. If they don’t get success in 2024, 2025 is probably not his problem.

Perhaps Parra feel Sanders can play a role for them in 2024. He is a cheap back up who could come in for Moses or Brown if he goes down. The worry for Raiders is they just warehouse him in Flegg (which he is still eligible for in 2024 and 2025) but maybe they see a first grade role for him in 2024?...

Saulo should leave the club Five years in the system for 27 games, we get a guy on the cheap and he plays 22 games. I think that is an extraordinarily good return. Will he be guaranteed a start going forward? Not necessarily but he is super back up. Completely agree. More than comfortable with Saul...

Bay53

Would have been a massive story if we got through. Whilst I am sad we didn’t get through, if we had won on Sunday it would have been a massive effort to back it up again in Auckland, particularly without Jack. I wasn’t particularly confident going into Sunday’s match but I admit I had looked up flig...

I thought they were breakout games for Mariota and to a lesser extent Guler on the weekend. The one criticism I have had of Mariota previously is I didn’t think he had a big motor to play big minutes. He has looked great for 10-15 mins but is then really blowing up. On Sunday he pushed through that ...

Sanders penalty right on full time.

Ethan Martin scores for Parra. Why was Ethan so popular as a baby’s name in 2003/04?

Ethan Sanders misses the conversion.

Ethan Strange to come.

18-6 four to go.
