NRL360 is just a bunch of old drunks arguing about nothing. If I want to see that I’ll go down my local pub at 10am on a weekday. It’s embarrassing stuff, really. Agreed. I used to watch it back in the Ben Ikin days but have stopped watching it since. Starved for RL I turned it on the other night b...

Guler continues to be the most bizarre GH scapegoat I’ve encountered. No, he never became a top tier prop but he wouldn’t be getting paid like one either. But he’s so much better than he’s given credit for on here. He’d be locked in starting front rower at a few other clubs. It’s not his fault the ...

I love the pace Weeks has, whilst he has that I can always see value in having him in the squad.

That’s a strong NSW Cup side.

The only reason I stopped watching the annual nrl match in Darwin is because it's played on an oval ground, which makes for terrible viewing being so far away from the game Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk What’s weird is that they could get 10k into Darwin Rugby League Park, which is basically...

With Brock Shepherds arrival wonder if we/he could use that to get Gordon Chan Kum Tong here.

Savage 'struggle' to bring X-factor back to the NRL Xavier Savage is ready to bring his X-factor back to the NRL in 2024. "I feel like I'm a lot better where I am now than last year," Savage said. "I had a big season in 2022 and just suffered a couple of injuries last year with my ja...

I can’t say I’ve been this excited about seeing the NRL season opener in a long, long time. Maybe in 1990 I was more excited. Nah, definitely more excited in 1990. But, this build up in Vegas has just been outstanding. 100% agree. They have done an awesome job getting the NRL front and centre for t...

I think as Matt said above, if you were to make the call on ML who would you bring in?

It's the right approach with the young players. Week in week out NRL will be a struggle for them. The boys on the Bloke in a Bar podcast covered the same thing talking about Tallis Duncan . Got to take into account Tallis Duncan is a forward who has already played 7 NRL games and there is the benef...

I would settle for the guys just throwing the ball around a bit more. Make use of our elite forward pack and get them to start throwing some offloads. With players like Weeks/Strange, Starling, Tomoko, Kris and Savage floating around the back that is all that we would need. Flick the switch every fe...

Watch sticky pick Weeks at 6 now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hahaha as sure as night follows day, that's exactly what he's going to do. I also struggle with Sticky picking Savage for one game last year but we all think he will be first winger picked. Would not be shocked to see; 1- Rapana (e...

Rick

That was something I was asking earlier, has Fog played left side before? I assume he went to the right because Jack was the marquee player and could only attack on the left. Do we remember what side he played at the titans? I also like the idea of Strange playing alongside Whitehead / Hosking and h...

Rick

Nobody is really putting him in there team but i really think ricky will be putting hoppa in the team. I think the reasoning will be he does a lot of hit ups in the middle and that will keep our gun forward pack fresher.I dont want him there i want savage cause we need points I can see him being pi...

Did he slot in there on the weekend? If he didn't then I think it's less likely to happen Maybe a bench spot to cover both backs and forwards. I also thought Hosking to centre but having him on the bench gives us really good backline cover. If they played him at centre and we had an injury we could...

Rick

If I had not seen the Raiders play before this year I would have Levi at 9 and Starling at 14, however we all saw what happened last year and the year before.

Has Fogarty played left side before? Also Sanders plays left doesn’t he?

Centre to FB last game.

Ricky knows what he brings to an edge, he had him there most of last year.

No doubting the talent, she’s a megastar. But I don’t need to hear she was patting a stray dog while taking a walk in Geelong. Sounds like it’s the media you should be hating on not her.

Would not let me pick Horsburgh at prop so unlucky for him he has missed out.

Could probably just buy Rugby Australia now for 50 cents and achieve a lot of the same goals.

This is what a Ricky Stuart rebuild looks like. A mix of youth that is either too raw (Chevy/Strange/Sanders) or sub-par(Hoppa/Saulo), mixed in with a few very well paid forwards long past their best and declining. Don’t forget selecting the 3rd choice journeyman hooker. Can’t wait…. Sent from my i...

Hoppa and Cotric are on ice this trial as they will be our Rd 1 wingers: Hate it but it’s the most likely outcome.

Hoppa js playing 20 mins of FB this trial as if Rapana goes down mid game he is it.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy to have ES coming but think the trial showed he is not ready for FG this year. With that in mind if he is getting NSW Cup games at Parra then we should not be swapping anyone to get him here early unless it suits us (Levi, Guler etc.)

I can’t see Stick giving Savage the opportunity unfortunately.

We will have the slowest back 5 in the comp.

Anyone got access to the article? The last sentence;

If the fullbacks do well I’ll chuck Rapana on the wing?

Fullbacks plural… Stewart and Burt….

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rick

If Rapana will be starting the season at 1 then why isn’t Chev playing 1 in the trial? This would be the first chance to see him play against a NRL standard side and now it’s a wasted opportunity by Stick unless there is a late change which would seem weird for a trial.

There is blue, green and yellow in the multicultural design, all club colours. It doesn’t have to look anything like the traditional jersey. In fact, these alternates should be significantly different. Otherwise, what’s the point? I think the design is sensational. I’d love to see it as a proper je...

Apart from the logo absolutely nothing about that resembles the Raiders.

Can we sweeten the deal with the cows and give them Guler and Bert?

For me our centres pick themselves and are one of our big strengths. Hope Tomoko and Kris have a year free of interruptions.

Doubt this would have been done if South’s were not playing the season opener in LV and did not just lose 2 outside backs.
