Haven't looked at LU for ages, it's changed all its formatting. And I'm not ready to trawl through the Broncos forum, sorry!
But I'd guess that if that stat is true, it's Chris. Sadly.
Canberra Raiders forward Elliott Whitehead's epic journey won't slow him down against Brisbane Broncos
He's flown 28,417 kilometres in eight days and played a Test at altitude, but Elliott Whitehead is ready to rack up a few more metres on Suncorp Stadium in Canberra's season-defining clash with Brisbane on Saturday.
"It's been good, I love getting together with the England squad we had a good week of it together and definitely need something like that mid-season," Whitehead said. "I feel good, I'm waking up a little bit in the night but otherwise I feel good.
Question is why play Austin for the rest of the season ? I don't think he would be putting in 100%. I know we have Williams a step backwards still. Maybe a chance to see how our Mounties halves go esp if we blow it on Saturday it'll pushing it to make the top 8 ...
Good question, and frankly it comes down to one thing:
Are we **** serious about not dipping our toes into the halves market? Is this no money thing your standard media bluff to get a number down a bit? Or as others have, quite rightly questioned, have Stuart, Mulholland and Furner made a total meal of our cap and we are indeed stuck with the Sezer and Hingano/Williams combo?
If it's the former, then no problems keeping Austin in the team, they'll find another half who is going to pair with Sezer and let's see how that goes. Norman/Sezer is a weird combo in my head, but Austin-Sezer looked amazing in my head and it never worked.
If it's the latter... firstly these **** all need to be fired. Every last one of them. Immediately... and once you've done that, the new CEO can pick the new Coach and Recruitment and High Performance Manager those guys can do as they please to get us out of this mess. But in the short term we are looking at a Sezer-Williams combination in 2019, then we absolutely need to make the move to that now.

I can't imagine this is true. If we're losing Boyd, Paulo, Austin and ALL of that cash has been gobbled up by the handful of re-signings we've secured to date, we are in deep ******* **** and there is another decade of mediocrity ahead of us.

Nothing would shock me in this current Raiders climate.

If we really were in serious salary cap trouble would we be spending what little we have on a second rower/centre when we already have Papalii, Tapine, Whitehead, Sia, Croker, Leilua, Cotric in the squad? not to mention guys that can cover lock like Havili, Knight and good up and comers like Guler, Murchie and Horsborough?

With Jack likely out I would assume Abbey is most likely to come in. I don't think they will move Cotric as there are no wingers that can come in.

If Wighton gets a long term suspension we are in a lot of trouble in terms of depth.
Realistically if we lose this week we are no chance of the 8, so it might be a good thing in some ways. We could blood Abbey and Ravalawa and have some extra options for next year.
Jake Trbojevic is one of the new breed of NSW's State of Origin stars, but he's also helping Liam Knight realise his dream of establishing himself in the Canberra Raiders pack.
"Jake's always been that guy making rep teams. I always try to have a chat to him every now and again. He's killing it and so is Tommy, it's awesome," Knight said. "I feel a bit more confident each week, getting a taste for it, getting used to the speed, every week I do better," he said.
