Maguire is kidding himself thinking he can hold all 3. If it's just NSW and Raiders I don't think there will be an issue. In fact, it's probably a good thing for the club. NZ is the job that should go. I'm equally happy for Maguire to leave. This story has gone on far too long. I wouldn't be surpri...

What a terrible ROI CHN has been for the Raiders. I'd put him in a similar boat to Tyran Smith. We were all enamoured with his potential but he's only ever strung a few weeks of good form together throughout his stint. The crazy part is that he is on the books for another three years. You'd think i...

Errr Sticky, the big difference is your mate Bellamy is a consistent high performance coach who knows how to sell his message to players. They play a strong game in both attack and defence. If he has a player who is a Dud he knows he can offload him to you. Hahah, I can see it now! Ring ring, ring ...

We need a minimum of 6 edge backrowers to fill all grades and currently have 2.5?

Alright! Now we're talkin... I'd GLADLY take any of those 3.

Hell yes.

Coastalraider

Good to see we are strengthening our middles depth.

Coastalraider

I really hope these guys get a shot and we don’t just keep rolling our Emre and Saulo as the low risk option.

now that, in comparison to my life pre march this year, I'm crazy fit and tasted competitive xc riding I've decided to pencil in 3 for next year. Convict 100 in May I'll probably do the 44km. Wollombi Wild ride I'll do 32km again but have a real crack. MS Gong ride not a race but an 82km commitment...

The important thing is that they are guaranteed a job next year, Donny will figure out the details later.

Its not good reading looking at those under 20's sides. Which makes the signing of young players very difficult. It's a brave track we are taking but it's our only real option. There are 5 or 6 elite level halves in the competition at any one time (capable of turning or taking a team to premiership...

I saw more promise from Strange in the back half of the Cup season than I remember seeing from Schnieder or Frawley at that level. Not the experience of Frawley of course, but there is a gem in there if he’s managed correctly.

So… Under 20s form doesn’t mean much?? I’m gla Dee have picked these kids up, and it’s a decent strategy if we can’t get elite talent. But they are hardly the ultimate recruitment strategy that some are making out. We might get lucky and have a spine to lead us to the promised land, and I’m sure we...

If only we knew mid season we would have 1.5 mill + free in our cap with the loss of Wighton and Toots..

Coastalraider

Throw in Savage and Sanders - our spine has some of the best emerging talent in their positions. Not that long ago people were saying a similar thing about Schoolboys half and under 20s nsw blues rep and 2024 star raiders signing Troy Dargan. Every year there is a new ‘best kid coming through’. We ...

The other point is how do Hutchison, Taafe and Sexton work? That's a NSW cup level spine with little upside.

Their recruitment is a mess.
Jesus Christ. Their spine is way better than Canberras.

We have basically entered a ‘hold my beer’ scenario here haven’t we.

Coastalraider

Good to see the toughest pre season ever doesn’t require either toots or Madge to groom this next gen of kids prior to Christmas. Taking it seriously again I see.

Coastalraider

They have brought up quite a few star juniors into preseason, not just Sanders… as the Raiders do. Ok fair enough, but including him must be a sign that they still believe they are a chance. If the roles were reversed I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear Sticky had some junior hotshot running lap...

Coastalraider

That’s a bit concerning- surely if it was a fine deal they wouldn’t bring him back early? I doubt he even trained with first grade last year when they were trying to keep him? They never even ran him in cup did they?

The best rookie prospect at your club RAIDERS Former Cronulla junior Chevy Stewart will play NRL in 2024, it’s just a matter of when. Remember Xavier Savage the livewire fullback who had a breakout 2022 only to fall foul of Ricky Stuart in 2023? Well, Ricky may dislike Savage but the guy can play. ...

I have irrefutable evidence I was one of his biggest fans. My mum said I was.

Coastalraider

I was one of Smellys biggest fans. I think he has been asked to do more than he is capable of the last few years, but his peak was phenomenal. I am however disappointed that we have promised a second job to another player without any forethought or planning to what that job will entail off the back ...

His uncle was a raiders great, so an extension and pay rise is well on the cards. #Bleedgreen.

Xavier Savage, Hohepa Puru and Trey Mooney are in the top five players according the readers. This seems to be the result of some algorithm which adjusts the Crawley rankings by readers votes as to whether the Crawley rankings are too high, too low or about right. Probably the way to interpret it i...

Listen this is exactly the kind of signing we should be targeting, and exactly the type of player we may have actually have had a chance of getting. The day after Jack informed us he was leaving Welsby should have had a multi year, multimillion dollar offer on his desk, with a buy out fee to his clu...

I’m glad to have him at the club and think he can potentially bring a lot to the next generation. But this article really stinks of our low level of professionalism as a club. I would love this article to outline specifics of the role with clear responsibilities. Instead it sounds like jobs for the ...

Bellamy does have form in shopping players to us when he’s done with them.
