Re: 2024 Round 4 v Sharks: Game Day

Youd think after dropping the ball 3 times in our first 3 sets on their line at the start of the game that we’d respect the ball a bit more as the half went on. But alas, 3 tries up we switch on cruise control and stand around sniffing our own farts thinking we’ll win 50-0, and we get our pants pull...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1

Really feel for Trey Mooney. Cut as the 18th man tonight. He should be on the bench in place of Saulo, not left right out. I just shake my head. I agree but also have to acknowledge Saulo has been pretty good this year. His fast play of the balls have directly led to a couple of our try’s. It’s jus...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I still think Mitch Kenny is worth a crack. Defensively he is in the elite status. With a upcoming spine of Strange, Sanders and Stewart I don't think we need a creative 9. Someone who leads the defensive line/intensity in Kenny would be a smart move IMO. Dual premiership player coming from an elit...

Haha I’ll pay that. Hodgo, Croker, now Whitehead. Maybe Rick needs to pick a younger better performing captain. Tapine for example.

Ah yes, as predicted the old "calf injury" struck again. Ironic it was the same same "injury" that took Hodgo out when he was with us.

Well for some context, Supercoach scores players based on actual in-game statistical output such as: tries, try assists, line breaks, line break assists, tackle breaks, hit ups, offloads, goals, tackles.
