Re: Raiders assistant coach Andrew McFadden heading to Warriors

Good luck to Cappy.

I think we all know what Sam Williams will probably be doing next year, seeing as Sticky rates his football brains.

Re: Recruitment and retention

With Reece Walsh going to the Broncos, the chances of Brisbane re-signing hooker Jake Turpin have completely evaporated considering he is off-contract for 2023 at the moment. They're going to need his salary cap space. Starling doesn't seem to be the player he was prior to those charges being laid a...

Being in a statistical frame of mind, I checked our halves options. Out of five games, Fogarty has had three try assists and one offload out of five appearances. Five forced drop outs. Frawley has only one forced drop out, but he did score that cracker of a try. So, at least he asks questions of the...

Re: Josh Hodgson signs with Eels for 2023

The only way Hodgson has another 5 years left in him is if he returns to Super League. The heavier grounds in England might help him out in terms of overall speed of the game.

Alternatively, France is lovely at this time of year or so I hear.
