Whilst I’m not confident of a victory we typically handle the Panthers pretty well. A convincing prelim win in 16, followed by some close losses where for the majority of the games we have been the superior team - only for the Raiders finish to come into play. I think our best chance of victory woul...

Shannon Boyd says Canberra Raiders 'can win the NRL title' before he leaves Outgoing Canberra prop Shannon Boyd says the lure of career security and uncertain changes to the interchange system convinced him to sign a four-year deal with the Gold Coast Titans. "It’s heading towards the back end...

Some of you guys will sook about everything seriously, this site has gone to ****. I think it's awesome, great news for the club and the area. I am annoyed with the constant victim narrative and goalpost shifting. I am also sick of the clubs most senior figures making excuses for our lack of succes...

We assembled a squad for the 2017 season that went through an entire pre-season and almost half the regular season as premiership favourites - not just from the bookies but from many an expert league analysis. Now granted I understand it was on the back of no International/Origin players being recru...

The whole thing doesn't add up on face value. We couldn't afford to offer market rate for Boyd or Junior, but if we made offers they would have still been 500k+ each to bother. So we should have a sizeable chunk of cash, but are apparently struggling with the cap. Someone mentioned earlier that may...

Not at the inflated price they didn’t. correct - and rightfully so they didn’t increase the contract offer. But the undisputed fact is that both Junior Paulo and Shannon Boyd were offered substantial contracts beyond this season and the club had plans for them to be in our roster going forward and ...

Yep, I would say we are not far behind the bulldogs at the moment and with Paulo and Boyd leaving, that was a huge relief for Stuart and Mulholland. As I have said before they loaded up for last year thinking it was going to be the year that they would challenge and we missed it completely. Stuart ...

Sezer is very right. Wighton has been one of our best players all year. When Sezer-Wighton-Croker-Cotric all play in that chain sweep it is so, so dangerous. It’s the only attacking play this team has - that’s the problem. Cue within a matter of weeks when we play a team with a decent coach who tra...

Reynolds is signed until the end of 2021. However you'd have to think that if they wanted to keep Doueihi, Reynolds wouldn't be able to stick around that long. Doesn't really make sense for us though particularly if we resign sezer as has been suggested It makes perfect sense. And I've finally figu...

He's not in the top group of props in SL and probably not in the second group, either. Although the same would have been said about Hodgson and hookers when he left and that turned out OK. Sutton certainly has all the tools and has age on his side. Wigan like their props big - so he'll undoubtedly ...

scotchberry

If he can move laterally, not give away stupid ruck penalties and averages at least 40 minutes he is already an upgrade for our team - good stuff

Brent Read reporting that Corey Norman is being shopped around by the eels By all accounts, we are an interested party. With Tigz signing Mbye, Id love us to chase Lolohea. At worst, he is better FB and halves depth than we currently have. At best he is a 5/8 or FB option. Norman not named for Parr...

Havili to 9, Hodgson to 7, lose Austin. Defence, playmaking and salary cap sorted. And yet no one has asked me to run the club. It makes no sense. Sent from my SM-G955F using The Greenhouse mobile app powered by Tapatalk I would be OK with this as long as Hodgson defends in the middle. He is very s...

I think Lui is becoming one of my favourite Raiders - outstanding comeback, improvement and great team first attitude.

Outside of Slater and Inglis, Papalli is the most experienced player in that QLD team. (And most likely above all NSW players as well) With Slater almost certainly gone this season and Inglis a love tap on his knee as well away. Kevvie Walters should be right into Papalli’s ear that now is the time ...

It’s the leaked squad. Chances are it’s right. Cotric in 20 is the pits. They better let him back up and play for us if he won’t be saving the blues’ arses. Looks like I’m supporting Qld again this year. 1 raider to 0. Ricky will say that he hasn’t trained all week with the team and doesn’t know ou...

Roberts, Mitchell, Addo-Carr and a fullback playing outside backs for NSW.

I’d have more trust in BJ and Austin out there

Inglis and Co are going to tear them to shreds

I want to see that our Supercoach has actually done some work on his opposition this week and let’s see some action. 1 reason we struggle so much against Manly recently is that their 3 biggest strengths are our 3 biggest weaknesses.

Outside of Paulo to 5/8 of course

Do you reckon a coach who told our halves they were the owners of these problems might be a start? I personally agree with Frog. I’m not disagreeing that we do need a halves coach, I’m just saying the problem stems from above them. What does our coaching staff do in video review sessions ? What str...
