Re: Brad Morkos granted immediate release

Listening to Horse on a pod talk about his time with the raiders - kids getting absolutely flogged in preseason with no thought to sports science, he had fractures and had to train through. He had a falling out with Rick and Rick just stopped talking to him. Was about to leave the club and was basic...

Re: Raiders assistant Michael Maguire agrees to become NSW Blues coach

I guess we will just do the normal thing and sit back and see what shakes out. The guy is using us as a stopgap, and as defensive coach to one of the worst defences in the comp last year I just can’t see why we haven’t cut him already. How much input do you think he has had into our preseason so far??

Re: Brad Morkos granted immediate release

Ricky sees Joey 2.0 in him.
Enough individual flair we can really make a statement in the finals, and he doesn’t have to try and come up with an attacking structure more complex than ‘give it to leilua’.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Is Mooney better than Papalii, Tapine or Hors, Smithies or Mariota? That's the question. All these players are now ahead of him. And that's a conservative estimate. Throw in Saulo, Guler and Puru and there's another 3 he is competing with for a middle spot. Our middle is clogged and he is at best 5...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Capewell is a good player but he isn't what we're after. I can't see any room for an edge in 24 if we want to give our young blokes a run. Unless CHN can't play we already have a full book in the forwards. Whitehead, Hors, Mariota, Papa, Smithies, Young, CHN, Mooney, Guler, Tapine At least 1 of tho...

Re: Raiders assistant Michael Maguire agrees to become NSW Blues coach

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...

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.
