McGhie doing what Edrick did, wing to the pack - Edrick was the fastest second rower ever haha but in all honesty thats a big wrap for McGhie with Solomon a very hany prospect

[julian87]

That's weird I remember specifically thinking McGhie has the perfect build for a modern day winger.

[bonehead]

Might be just teaching him to up his workrate

[VictorTheViking]

He handled it pretty well last week

NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Knights

The Canberra Raiders under 20’s side is heading into the Round 18 clash against the Newcastle Knights at GIO Stadium fresh from having the bye last weekend and determined to further their 7th place standing.

“By staying on top of the little things,” hooker Zac Woolford said. “It’s a matter of going to training every week and working on what Whitey (Assistant Coach Brett White) and Mick (Coach Mick Mantelli) tell me to and then doing that out in the game and continuing it the next week.”

“I’m happy to take on [a leadership] role anytime I am asked to,” Woolford said. “Everyone knows around here that I love to talk and that I’m a bit of a motor-mouth and I suppose that’s always good in a game scenario when everyone is looking for someone to lift us up. I am happy to take the responsibility.”
