If I was Papalii I'd be very closely considering offers from other teams. Why would you stay?

OK so we have no big name starting prop rotation for next year. Happy enough with that if we spend the money on a half and on-field leader as well as pick up a couple of young up and coming props for much less cash. Of course none of this will happen, all the remaining boys will get a pay bump and i...

Yeah hard to blame him as it appears he was playing off the cuff and there was nothing doing outside him. Not sure how much practice he had calling plays or last tackle kicking. Set up to fail.

jozzas

Sounds good GE, give us those juicy details.

I've been living in Brisbane a long time and I'm yet to see the boys win up here. I've seen Campo do his knee at Suncorp, but not a Raiders win.

Hingano has not been training in the halves. "I feel sorry for Ata because I've been training him as a utility nine player and he hasn't done a lot of work in the halves with us , it's probably my fault." - Ricky What the **** Ricky! If Sezer or Austin goes down, as happened, Hingano is su...

if he gets selected I'm sure he'll absolutely wonderful for the Blues Interesting times. Jennings and Mansour are 100% out, and you'd think the Morris boys are done too? The rest depends on whether Freddy wants to stick with Dugan/Ferguson or bring in more fresh blood. I suppose it also depends on ...

Result The tally is Storm 4 and Raiders 13. This is a far more lop sided result than I would have suspected. The Titans wont roll over, not like the skins suggests, but the Raiders should be able to win this comfortably. If they show the defensive resolve of that past four or five weeks, they shoul...

There are Broncos fans in the other areas. Hope that helps.

I would love to know if the club has plans for a museum in the new building at Braddon. Reading this stuff and meeting someone recently who has an amazing collection of both Raiders and ACT Rugby League gear leaves me wondering why we can't have something like this: http://m.hawthornfc.com.au/histo...

I was looking up Schif the other day - I did a double take when I saw he only played 6 seasons for us. I would’ve sworn it was much longer. We did not have a good squad for most of his time here, but at least the boys put in most of the time. They overachieved massively in 2003. Schif was a beacon ...

i do feel like we are in a better position now to recruit a marquee player of which we haven't been able to recruit since, geez, it depressing but, since Mal? Was he a marqee signing in 86? I have no idea was it a big deal? Sticky's problem was he stopped recruiting, i can't blame him after coming ...

Paplii and Paulo came into the offseason late due to the world cup and both at least 20kg overweight. If I was coach they would both have been playing mounties for the first few rounds until they could demonstrate their fitness was back up to scratch and would also be having some very frank discussi...

I'm officially on the Sack Ricky bandwagon after yesterday. I can't remember more incompetent selections and use of bench in all my years of watching the NRL. I'm also expecting no changes despite us getting 40 put on us. I imagine the Sack Ricky bandwagon looks something like this: https://upload.w...

jozzas

Boyd to come on and play 20 minutes then? **** is Ricky smoking, honestly. I've never seen a prop rotation with no rotation.

jozzas

All I'll say is that if Tapine doesn't get that edge spot that was Papalii's, I'm just about done with this whole thing. Tapine had one of the best performances you'll see last week and 100% deserves to stay there. If Papalii walks back into it, Ricky has rocks in his head. That would just be the ic...

Yeah QLD are usually pretty loyal though. I think we can bank on him being here in 2019 and in the starting side. He's as likely to move on as Wighton or Croker. He'll be expected to come good at some stage. He might make the squad, but TBH I wouldn't pick him on current form. Gillett has a spot na...

Ugh, I don't know why I'm bothering, but this is the team I'd go with for the Round 3 debarkle against the Warriors: 1. Wighton 2. Cotric 3. Croker EDIT 11. Papalii 12. Whitehead 13. Bateman 14. Sezer 15. Lui 16. Boyd 17. Gubb I'm all for Cannon at prop. I hear he's a bit of a gun. Fire is in hot f...

Taking the 2 seriously, expect the Knights to hit back with a try. This is when I knew we'd lose. That creeping dread that all Raiders fans know. This was a really bad decision and it came straight from Ricky. Every single fan could see this coming and that we'd need more than two points up our sle...

jozzas

Does anyone honestly rate Bateman. Nice kid, tries hard, local jnr . . . . . But just my opinion, offers nothing on the field. Can't dominate a tackle, allows the ball runner to get excessive post contact meters and only averaged 6m a run last night. Doesn't have speed, power, offload or agility. A...

jozzas

Some of that has to be a lack of ball for us. We scored very easily in that first 30mins, not too many tackles were being made. That said, when the going got tough, that's where we should have directed some more traffic. Easier meters to make through a half. We also scored around the middle of the ...

jozzas

Anyone else not that impressed by the Knights forward pack? Their prop rotation is pretty weak. We should be able to get an edge bashing it straight up the middle. Boyd was good last week, if he retains that form and Paulo lifts a bit I think we can blow them off the park. Will still require holding...

jozzas

I also didn't like the Sezer hooking experiment. Havili looked good though. Would like to see a Garvey / Havili rotation and see us play with our two best halves on the paddock. ATM I think that means Austin misses out, and Sezer playing 5/8.

jozzas

the grubber try the titans scored was caused by a croker misread and wighton having to tackle Gordon (??) and getting stuck on the defensive line. At least 2 of their tries were in part due to Wighton having to assist tackling on our line on the 4th and being out of position for the last. Hard to b...

So 28-36 are either development / train and trial players. Interested if anyone can help narrow it down a bit! Sounds like Guler is a likely. Edit: whoops I missed Dunamis Lui 1. Wighton 2. Abbey 3. Rapana 4. Leilua 5. Croker 6. Ravalawa 7. Oldfield 8. Cotric 9. Austin 10. Williams 11. Sezer 12. Hin...

Carney and Finch are the two best listed there. If either Finch didn't bail or Carney had a personality transplant we may not have been mentioned in this article.

Why is Papalii in the XIII squad? Surely he walks back into his green and gold jumper and doesn't need to prove himself. He was even on the bench for the Anzac test this year with Cordner and Gillett starting in the second row. Same goes for Frizell (bench in Anzac test), I guess they're just giving...
