2018 Rd 19 V Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Fox sports reckons Abbey will be fullback, Cotric wing and Oldfield center

Possible, but id hope unlikely

[Coastalraider]

It makes sense though - we lose a fullback and a centre, and the strongest player we could put in those positions we put in the wing...it’s like the halves/hooker scenario all over again!

[-TW-]

Fox sports are probably making it up as they go along

[VictorTheViking]

Cotric left centre and oldfield stays where he is, abbey to fullback

Kris is a development player, we can't use him. Plus he isn't ready.

Thanks for the correction Ed, I should have checked it before I posted.

In that case I would still go with Cotric at FB with Oldfield to center and Abbey to wing. I really think Cotric's goal line defensive ability will be needed and I don't think any other option at our club can offer what he does in that area of the game.

[VictorTheViking]

Oldfield apparently clocked 36.1kmh on that length of the field effort....thats faster than addo carr, barely looked like he was in 2nd geaey

This is a tough selection in my opinion. I can honestly see the merit in every option. I think Ricky will go with:
1. Abbey
2. Oldfield
3. Cotric
4. Leilua
5. Rapana
6. Williams
7. Sezer
8. Liu
9. Hodgson
10. Paulo
11. Soliola

Canberra Raiders captain Jarrod Croker ruled out for rest of NRL season

Canberra Raiders captain Jarrod Croker will need surgery on his knee, ruling him out for the rest of the NRL season. Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has several options to cover Croker in the centres, with Nick Cotric, Michael Oldfield and Brad Abbey all options against Cronulla at Shark Park on Friday.

The more you watch that length of the field effort the more you appreciate just how **** quick he is. He just glides.

[Woodgers]

Bad news for Croker. The club needs to devise a plan to try put some more size in him while he’s not playing. Obviously nothing crazy but if they could get some more muscle on his frame he’ll be a better player in 2019. All the best with the rehab skip.

[PerthRaider86]

Is this one of the first Team list Tuesdays where we could actually be surprised with Ricky's selection, as in it has changed?

[PerthRaider86]

Abbey Fullback
Cotric Wing
Oldfield centre



**** sake Ricky!!!

[edwahu]

I'm not a fan but I understand why he wouldn't want to play Austin at center for 80. What I don't get is not playing Cotric at center when Oldfield is in such good form on the wing. There won't be a better opportunity.

[zim]

Oldfield really needs to be switched on defensively to make this work.

CANBERRA RAIDERS V CRONULLA-SUTHERLAND SHARKS
FRIDAY JULY 20, 6.00PM, SOUTHERN CROSS GROUP STADIUM

1. Brad Abbey

3. Michael Oldfield - should be playing wing
4. Joey Leilua
5. Jordan Rapana
6. Sam Williams
7. Aidan Sezer
8. Dunamis Lui
9. Josh Hodgson (C) - Good to see Hodgo have the 'C'
10. Junior Paulo
11. Sia Soliola
12. Elliott Whitehead
13. Josh Papalii
14. Blake Austin
15. Luke Bateman - Id swap Murchie or Guler in for Bateman
16. Siliva Havili
17. Liam Knight
18. Craig Garvey - Moved from 21 to 18 this week..... closer to a start
19. Jack Murchie
20. Royce Hunt
21. Emre Guler

[RedRaider]

I can only hope the 1 and 2, do a game day switcheroo.

[-GD-]

Our bench leaves a lot to be desired. One thing against the Cowboys to run that bench, another to go in against the Sharks looking like that.

[CJ42]

It’s the least disruptive option by just replacing one player on the edge.

It's a mobile bench!!

I really thought Ned would centre ahead of Oldfield

[kiwi raider]

Would have liked to see Cotric at centre but it’s not really a biggie, it’s probably easier these days to have an impact on the game from the wing rather than centre.

[edwahu]

Could be a smokescreen, I don't think we have had many this year.

Well **** as if things weren't already going to be difficult.

[Kryptonite]

Looks like Austin starts at 6, Williams to 7 with Craig Garvey to the bench?

[Stagtime]

Will be interesting to see who comes onto the bench. I assume Havalli as utility and maybe Murchie slots in.

[PerthRaider86]

Garvey might get to play after all

[Lucy]

Hahahahah. Oh Boy! Now Ricky has the get out excuse for this season.

Austin to start. Anyone else but Garvey will come on to the bench. Havili is the utility.

[edwahu]

Hunt or Guler will come in. The bench was too small anyway.

[greeneyed]

Aidan Sezer joins Canberra Raiders captain Jarrod Croker on the sidelines

The Canberra Raiders' injury woes have deepened with halfback Aidan Sezer injurying his hamstring during goal-kicking practice on Tuesday.

It's a massive blow for the ninth-placed Green Machine who sit two wins outside the eight and need to win almost every game for the rest of the regular season to keep their finals hopes alive. It's unclear how long Sezer will be out for. Blake Austin will come into the halves.

[Conor]

Could go Whitehead to five-eighth, Murchie to second row. Keep the bench as is.

[Rick]

Rapana to do the goal kicking (should we get the opportunity)

Or Hodgson to 7, Havili to hooker
