I warned you about the hands... I felt sorry for him having to play on with a busted knee. He was in obvious pain, and grimacing.

Everyone knows about the hands but he's on 150k not 400k. This is going to happen sometimes until he improves his consistency.

I'm worried about his knee. If we lose him too what happens next week? Our backline is being held together with sticky tape right now.

Whitehead will have to play center, there are no wingers available to allow Cotric to move in.raiderskater wrote: ↑July 20, 2018, 9:29 pm I'm worried about his knee. If we lose him too what happens next week? Our backline is being held together with sticky tape right now.

I think he’s a first grader from what I’ve seen.

On the wing, not centres

Yep. I won’t say he can’t be a centre based off one bad game he played under an injury cloud though.

Yea Tapine back with Whitehead to centre or Is Ravalawa fit? He could play wing with Cotric at centreedwahu wrote: ↑July 20, 2018, 9:33 pmWhitehead will have to play center, there are no wingers available to allow Cotric to move in.raiderskater wrote: ↑July 20, 2018, 9:29 pm I'm worried about his knee.

Re: Michael Oldfield re-signs with Canberra Raiders to end 2020
Ravalawa is playing in Canberra comp for some reason. So I don't think he will be considered.kiwi raider wrote: ↑July 21, 2018, 6:52 amYea Tapine back with Whitehead to centre or Is Ravalawa fit?

Absolute shocker of a decision to play him centre. Unfathomable

He’s a winger and pretty good at it.

Oldfield....dropped the ball twice last week against the Sharks
Re: Michael Oldfield re-signs with Canberra Raiders to end 2020
Agree, he's a good squad filler on the wing. I've been most impressed with his carries out of our own end in all the games he's filled in, he does roll the sleeves up. I'm happy to have him and work on his handling, I recall a time when Rapana was shocking with that exact issue.
We continue to **** about with blokes that are part of some fraternity. It's infuriating.
Re: Michael Oldfield re-signs with Canberra Raiders to end 2020
I remember it too, it was a very sad time for Raiders fans. Many of which were derisively calling him "EDIT fingers"
Nickman and I fought the good fight and we won. The shame remains with the people who referred to him in that manner.

They would often talk about in bed on Saturday mornings. In their blissful ignorance they didn’t realise that Raps had plenty of other fans on the GH.BJ wrote: ↑July 24, 2018, 9:41 amSo it was just you and Nickman who fought the good fight for Rapana????Pigman wrote:I remember it too, it was a very sad time for Raiders fans.

I used to watch him playing for Souths Logan thinking this guy is too good for QLD Cup. This was around the same time Luke PAGE was tearing it up there.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I disagree that it's been a problem, and at least 7 of my other 12 personalities feel the same way.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Yeah I don't see a huge jump in consistency happening at this stage of his career. I see him as one of the better depth wingers in the game, but clearly a back up.
