Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

BnM do you think those errors looked like a player lacking confidence? Has this been a pattern with Cotric that makes you think his form is a confidence thing?

Unless you answered “yes” to both of these I’m not sure what your point is.

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

Just confirms seniority not form is how Stick operates. It’s why EW is starting every week. It doesn’t really confirm anything. This tactic doesn’t explain why Schiller is in the team over Cotric. Is this selection based on form, rather than seniority? If so, why does Starling hold his position? An...

Meh, he should eat the hip drop as well. Might not be a traditional one, but he jumped while tackling the guy which is reckless and leads to higher chance of injury.
