Re: Joe Tapine agrees to four year extension, keeping him at the Raiders to end 2027

Just want to say that's fantastic. A great retention by the club of a player who could have gone just about anywhere.

Re: Coaching issues

When Stuart decides to drop a player, they're gone. Witness CNK who won't be back, and fair enough - his second half today was awful - but that's probably why Rick is so reluctant to drop EW. Once that happens, he ain't coming back. Papalii has been dropped a couple of times due to fitness, and wit...

Re: Recruitment and retention

Get Adam Doueihi from the Tigers. He could be looking for an out as he is getting picked at centre but wants to play 5/8.

That way jack can move to centre

Not sure why Nickman hated this so much because it's spot on. I like Starling but his passing is ordinary for a first grader - let alone a first grade hooker. I am baffled each week by how poor it is. And it's not just the errors but the inaccurate or slow service that takes a step off the receiver...

Re: Adam Elliott to join Newcastle Knights

I guess what I'm saying is if it was me recruiting I would be a lot less desperate to recruit some semi-recognisable player ; a lot more sceptical about potential recruits and a lot more protective of the Raiders reputation - in regards to NOT being a last resort for outcast players.
