Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2022
I think that ship's sailed.
Strange player. If you were building a prototype modern second rower, you could build it on KPP, but he hasn't really strung it together, yet.
If he fulfills his potential, he'll be quite something.

Re: Canberra Raiders make club statement on Ricky Stuart press conference
As someone without a dog in the fight and no agenda... This is a terrible look for the Stuart and a really bad look for the club. He appears childish, petulant and unable to control himself - none of which you want in a coach. I don't think the club has distanced itself sufficiently and that reflect...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2022
Katoa looks like a player that gets converted to prop, 110kg and tall. I'm still all for Jack welsby for left centre and fullback option. Jazz tavaga as 13 and stop gap 9. Lastly which is purely a punt and see how it goes is Peter hiku training as a Second rower to see how he takes to it. Where is ...

He can certainly pass. Edit: Wow he kicks in general play too- decently it looks like. We'd either be shifting Fog, Wighton or Savage. That'd be a big call by Rick.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Hull FC fullback Jake Connor
I was worried when the story said he was behind Jai Field for Man of Steel. Jai Field is blitzing the Super League because he's quality.

Along with Morgan Knowles, I can't think of a better signing for the Raiders from England. What's his style mate? Is he a ball playing fullback? That's absolutely his game.

He's going fine, but not brilliantly.
He's looked better this year than last, but that probably reflects the uptick in Wigan's form, as much as anything.

Re: Coaching issues
Woolf has done a fantastic job at St Helens. The only reservation I'd have - and this is hardly something he could influence - is he took over a champion team from Holbrook. To be fair, he's renewed the side and taken it forward. Whether he has the ability to turn around a failing team is another qu...

Momentous game in Carcassonne this evening. Catalans v Toulouse is quite an incredible match-up.

I suspect it might be a little one-sided on the pitch - Catalans are a very fine team - but if...

I've noticed an increasing level of upset on here around Ricky and I wonder if his time is coming to a close.
