Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

Agree with most on Luke. Been an emerging prospect for a while yet hasn't stepped up to the next level. Incremental improvement for us at best. I'd rather be looking for a younger guy coming through.

Levi has only featured in 4 NRL games for us. I am not sure how he has been written off so emphatically. Early in his career, I remember him impressing. To the point where he made the kiwi side. Whilst I don't think he is the long term solution I do think his ceiling is clearly higher than Zac Wool...

Re: 2024 Canberra Raiders NSW Cup

I'll be watching Trevilyan with interest this year. I'd confidently say he's the most talented hooker on our roster. Needs to stay injury free and work towards earning a spot in our top 17. The opportunity is certainly there for someone to step up.

That's massive news. Broncos certainly dug a massive hole for themselves with the Wilson trade and contract. It was a deal they had no viable exit strategy for and now it's really going to bite.

I still think the answer at dummy-half is Woolford starting and Puru spelling him for 20 min or so in the middle from 14, but that plan also involves Puru getting some serious Number 9 development under his belt in NSW Cup.
