Does the nsw cup team list come out at the same time as first grade ?

I’m not sure.

I hope this helps.

It was the Raiders' previous practice with lower grade teams. The NSWRL site, however, seems to generally be slower, more like 5pm.

Geez that's a handy side

We have played worse teams than that in the top grade in the past. Looking forward to seeing how they go.

Fairly handy reserve grade side

8 . Keaton Walkington-Meads.

Can someone gives us an update on this guy ?

He's a big prop forward who was part of the Canberra Raiders Under 20s squad last year, which went on to win the CRRL Cup Grand Final. I don't believe he played in the Grand Final, though he made a lot of progress through the season, his fitness seemed to improve as the season progressed. He was a benchie, and from memory, did start in some games too. Originates on the Sunshine Coast, I think. Could develop well.

[Bay53]

Yep, from Sunshine Coast but originally a Kiwi.

Has made excellent progress to play NSW Cup round 1.

Also watch out for Sila Tituiti another big Kiwi prop. To me last year in the local
Comp whenever someone was needed to lift the side he led from the front.

With both Tituiti and Meads it remains to be seen if they can go from dominating junior grades because of their size into the elite ranks when none of the opposition will be scared of them.

[Dr Zaius]

That's a very decent reserve grade side. We have a solid squad this year.

[Sid]

We will never have a fully fit and available squad, however hypothetically in a couple of weeks time that reserve grade side could have the likes of Sutton, CHN and Kris in there

Yeah, pretty handly lineup considering we have Croker, CHN and Horsburgh out.

[Makaveli]

Who's our player at the season launch?

Joe Roberts

Thanks

Is this game televised anywhere? I would assume it would be on fox but the game before the Raiders is Bears and Sea Eagles.

Doesn't appear so. The Blacktown game is even more bizarre given its being played at a suburban ground and isnt a double header.

It is not so bizarre. Our game (first grade) is being broadcast by the Channel 9 cameras. Fox put their own commentary over the top, but the are not producing the coverage. All the curtain raiser games Fox do will be curtain raisers to the games they are producing. (ie 3pm Saturdays mainly) On other occasions they do stand alone games such as the Bears v Sea Eagles.

I actually think the NSWRL Facebook page is live-streaming most NSW cup games. That’s where I’ll hopefully be watching

Not our game tomorrow. They seem to only be doing one NSW Cup match per round.

[Sid]

Honestly cannot believe more aren’t being streamed

Not being streamed? Surely kayo would be all over this

[Makaveli]

I now see why the Blacktown game is the one on Fox, to talk about Suaalli at every opportunity

The Canberra Raiders are on the field in NSW Cup for the first time since 2007! Magpies kick off... we are underway... and Raiders knock on!

2nd min TRY MAGPIES to prop Edenn Rogers-Smith. What a start! Converted from almost in front.

Magpies 6-0

Not to our knowledge.

[The Greenhouse]

8th min TRY RAIDERS to Harley Smith-Shields out wide. It was the Raiders first opportunity with the ball. Once they got to the red zone, they unleashed. No conversion for Sam Williams.

Magpies 6-4

[rolhai]

Is HSS on the right side?

13th min TRY RAIDERS to Albert Hopoate in the corner. The right side takes over the attack and comes up with four. It’s off the back of a penalty to the Green Machine. Sam Williams converts from the sideline! Beautiful kick.

Raiders 10-6

He looks the goods in the opening 20 minutes here. More if a handful than Guler early.

Who is the jersey sponsor for NSW Cup - looks very similar to Huawei from a distance but slightly different shape.

[Green Blogger]

Guler on report for a late shoulder charge on a ball player. Did not look good.

[The Greenhouse]

31st min TRY MAGPIES to hooker Jake Simpkin. Simple hooker’s try. It’s been a bit of an arm wrestle for the past 15 minutes, with both teams producing errors. There’s no rain, but the ground is very greasy. Converted Jock Madden from virtually in front.

Magpies 12-10
