I can see him going to the bench and switching roles with Horsbough TBH. Sutton has proved he can pump out good mins now. So the rookie takes the back seat.

TBF, the Sharks were under strength. Still no Graham, no SJ who pulled out that morning, no Gal pulled out 48hrs before, no Moylan (hahahaha), and Woods only managed half a game.Northern Raider wrote: ↑April 8, 2019, 3:14 pm Interesting game this week. 2 teams that are sitting higher than expected on the ladder.
Raiders have been solid in the 3 wins against teams that didn't play well at all. Tried hard but couldn't compete when up against one of the top sides in Storm. Very similar to how the Eels have gone too. Beat a couple of teams that played poorly then couldn't match it with Roosters. They were good against Sharks on the weekend.
This game should give a pretty good indication of where both teams are at.

I'm happy with that. I'm still nowhere near as sold on Horsburgh as everyone else seems to be.
I sincerely hope he proves me wrong though, but I just see him as a liability more than an asset.

Opposing back fives tipped to star in Sunday night showdown between Canberra Raiders and Parramatta Eels
It shapes as a battle of the back five this weekend with the Raiders' formidable outside backs eyeing off Parramatta's equally imposing line-up.
"They're going well this year, the whole back five (for the Eels)," Canberra coach Ricky Stuart said. "They're a great strength of the Parra team so it's going to be a good battle to see the five of them up against each other.

Horsburgh dropped for Tapine
Re: 2019 Rd 5 V Eels: Teams and Previews
I hope Horsburgh isn’t one of these young forwards that gets dropped back to Mounties “for their development” or “for more minutes” and then is never seen again. I’ve really liked his involvement so far this year

Not opposed to horsburgh’s dropping. Play some big minutes in Mounties, he’ll be back in first grade in no time. Young’s turn for a bigger stint.
Expecting to see tapine move into the starting side and Sutton to drop to the bench.

Tough on Horsburgh but with Tapine looking like he will play middle it makes sense in terms of the rotation.

Horsburgh back to Mounties for more game time and a bit of extra work on handling and discipline, will be good for himself and the Raiders organisation.
He’s gonna be a good NRL footballer long term if he knuckles down and improves in just a couple of key areas. Great prospect.

I thought he might not play due to the knock but interesting to see him being dropped to work on his game. I'd say at the moment he's the least fit of our current top 17 but you can see he's got the talent if he can get that fitness up.
Was not expecting Tapine off the bench.

I'm glad that Ricky kept faith with Williams, at least for the time being.
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.

Players appear late in the Mounties side sometimes, I think Luke Bateman was missing a few weeks back as well.

To be fair it is one time where a smokescreen is a valid move. Having him in the extended squad means the Eels have to do homework on both halves as they do play differently.PerthRaider86 wrote:Why the hell is Sezer on the extended bench?

If they are only getting small minutes when our pack is at full strength I don’t mind if Horsburgh, Young and Guler get rotated as that last bench spot. I think Sutton is a tier above ATM and should be in the 17 all year.

Raiders forward Hudson Young tested positive for a banned substance as a 16-year-old and was forced to spend 18 months on the sidelines. He thought a store-bought supplement couldn't contain any banned substances.
"It hurt at the start, but I just had to put my hand up and own my mistake," Young said. "I just had to keep hold of the hope that one day I could play NRL. I always thought if I stuck to it I could do it. I had a lot of people around supporting me to get me to where I am today. My family supported me.

Joe Tapine is set to make his return from injury after being named on the bench in the Raiders' clash with the Parramatta Eels at Canberra Stadium on Sunday, with Corey Horsburgh returning to NSW Cup.
"It's really about making sure we're managing Corey, his body and his energy. He plays in the middle and he is only a young guy, so it's important for our season that he is at his best at the end of the season," Stuart said. "This will help, this won't be the first time he goes back to Mounties or I give him a week or two off.
