So I had a very interesting chat on Monday with a Panthers player. I won’t name names, however this is what he said in summary. The Panthers had their toughest and hardest pre-season ever since he had been at the club. Last year the coaching staff identified the speed change in the game early and ad...

LastRaider

As every off contract half in the game gets signed, our chances for a 2022 become even more dire.

If Sam Williams is the 7, I’m out. You may even see me watch the brumbies as my primary sport

LastRaider

At the bottom of the ad it should have

“Experience at leaking to the media highly regarded but not essential”

LastRaider

Wayne Bennett is as effective as Bellamy. I would be happy with Wayne

LastRaider

Yep GreenMachine a new coach is exactly where we need to start.

What I don’t get though is how tight on the cap we are! Papa is our best player and he is on $650k per season, so who is chewing up all this cap space

LastRaider

Raider - 32
Dragons - 28
FTS - Timoko

LastRaider

We need an organising half that plays right side! This is not the answer

Sam Williams although a second string has shown last week how important an organiser is

LastRaider

3 - Papa
3 - Timoko

LastRaider

I think last nights game (SOO) really showed how much we have been left behind. Grinding defensive games played out by forwards is outdated. Backline speed and attack is now the way!

LastRaider

Raiders - 32
Brisbane - 24
FTS Val

I would pay a monthly subscription to GH to not see ads.

GE make it happen!

Stuart has no choice but to move him on here. He is trying to reestablish the culture again and by retaining Scott would be a bad signal to the group

Just a gut feel... i think Dufty will be here within the next 3 weeks
I’d say it’s a dead certainty after reading Ricky’s quotes..

I think the mail is on Brisbane to be honest

Probably some mate side deal with Bellamy. We only go after Storm rejects and not the good ones

LastRaider

You don't want your FB tackling. And if we are that worried about it, as others have said, switch CNK and Dufty defense/attack at FB depending on tackles and position etc. Also, he did manage to play a big part in holding TPJ up last night from close range. So he isnt totally incompetent. If he giv...

LastRaider

It’s really simple. The game is now tilted to attack over defence.

CNK is a defensive fullback, Dufty is an attacking fullback. Dufty is the logical choice.

LastRaider

Would a Johnson + Dufty combo deal give us the spark we need? Both players have their cons but also provide an x factor we are sorely missing. We blood some young guys as well and 2022 could look a little more optimistic. Yes, they would be both a good signing for us. People forget just how undesir...

SPOTTED On the way to the Roosters-Raiders game in Gosford, Roosters assistant coach Craig Fitzgibbon stopped for lunch at the Kincumber Hotel. He sat there chatting to Melbourne Storm star Nicho Hynes, his dad and his manager. Fitzy replied “no comment” when we contacted him. Away from footy, Hynes...

Yep agree. These ratings reflects the coaches view in that we were unlucky and didn’t get the bounce of the ball. They were terrible last night, even more than the others

LastRaider

A coach can’t fix a team if he has lost the dressing room!

We're done.
Well then what the hell are we paying you for then Rick???

The issue is the coach! How does the Raiders management not get that.

LastRaider

Defence is attitude. The problem is the coach! Full stop! They don’t want to play for him no longer, how does the Raiders management not get that

LastRaider

Presser was a classic Stuart one. Essentially unlucky and not getting the bounce of the ball.

No accountability what so ever

LastRaider

Have the Fox League commentary team looked at the Raiders' list of OUTS? I've heard at length about the Roosters' list of outs... but no mention of the Raiders. It's not an excuse, but it is annoying how one sided the commentary is at times. Are some of our outs genuine outs really? Do we believe t...

LastRaider

So what do we think Ricky will say in the presser? Didn’t get the bounce of the ball? Some individual efforts weren’t up to standard? unlucky? Just need the team to stick solid during this tough period for the club? Well, the ball definitely DIDN'T bounce our way all night..... because even the bal...

Who’s going to start the “sack Ricky” petition online. I will sign immediately, I’ve had it and I’m throwing my membership in. Disgraceful

Stuart in the press conference yesterday "We spoke at length on Wednesday and a bit on Tuesday in regards to his [Hodgson] role at both No.9 and No.13. I think the game is moving more towards a ball-playing No.13 these days." Ball-playing no. 13? What planet is he on seriously! Ball-playi...

LastRaider

Radley, Smith, Brown, Yeo, Murray... all these are examples of what the 13 role is becoming... They may not wear 13 on their backs, they may not start in that role, but as the game progresses they end up playing that role... Hodgson can develop in this role...as can Wighton if we choose... Ideally ...

I dont know what game you've been watching LastRaider, but his remarks about the game moving towards needing a lock forward who has ball playing skills is 100% spot on Of the 16 teams, name the game starting ball playing locks? Just checked this weeks starting list and no starting 13. Is a ball pla...

I don’t think we have any chance of signing Hynes. Raiders have taken a line of recent seasons not to pay overs. If there is multiple clubs after Hynes, we would drop out pretty quickly

LastRaider

Papa and Tapine might be shopping around as a package. They both appear close and Papa has no made secret in the past that he is keen to get back to QLD sometime.

Cowboys and Bronco’s all have cash at the monent

LastRaider

I usually think this forum overreacts and becomes doomsayers, but honestly I agree with the sentiment this weekend. Our camp screams disharmony, playing horrendous footy and still missing two of our most important players. Roosters coming off a bad loss where they didn't honour a club legend. They ...
