Sam Williams should be on the bench every week until GW is dropped out. Start giving Sam some game time and ditch this overrated signing

There has to be some sort of David Howell/Craig Frawley/Bill Tupou type combination somewhere. Maybe even a Mark Asbock or James Buser.

We haven't smashed a team since 2018. Not going to happen this weekend either. I would be happy for a **** win, even against the spoon favourites. That said, watch Cotric absolutely smoke us, all the exRaiders always do at some point

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.

Josh Hodgson back for Canberra Raiders as Ricky Stuart rings changes again
Canberra Raiders prop Josh Papalii says securing two points this weekend would go a long way to turning the Raiders' fortunes.
"A win in this industry just mellows a few things out, [it] doesn't put the coaching staff on hammer all the time as well," Papalii said. "Senior players, our whole club in general can do with a win right now."
Round 10 Canberra Raiders team: 1. Caleb Aekins 2. Bailey Simonsson 3. Sebastian Kris 4. Curtis Scott 5. Semi Valemei 6. Jack Wighton 7. George Williams 8. Josh Papalii 9. Tom Starling 10.

Raiders morale still sky high among players, says refreshed prop Josh Papalii
Josh Papalii is adamant morale in the playing camp is as high as it was when the Raiders kicked off in round one as genuine premiership contenders.
"[It's] the same as round one to this round, still positive, everyone's still working pretty hard, the younger boys are pushing the senior boys with playing well, they're keeping us on our toes," Papalii said. "The camp's pretty good at the moment."

Yeah I'm thinking something in the 2001-2 sort of era is probably the worst in my time. Brad and Shane Kelly, James Buser, Mark Asbock, Odell Manuel, Anthony Swann, James Evans and co. Those teams generally had Shif at the back which added a little credibility, but man there were some average players around him!Canberra Milk wrote: ↑May 11, 2021, 9:07 pm 2007/08 we were exciting.

Hoping for a good return from Hodgson, so long as he gets more than 10 minutes playing time. I don't think he deserves some of the criticism he has been receiving lately. He has been a wonderful player for us.

I agree. Doesn’t deserve the criticism but does deserve enough minutes to prove himself.
I’m actually hoping his injection off the bench might be the remedy we need for the second half slump.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
This is also the first time Ricky has left Havilii out this year. So Hodgo is in that role in Ricky's bench use to some degree.
In light of that, wouldn't be surprised at all if Starling and Hodgo are both out there at some stage. I've not always been a fan of Hodgo at lock but at this stage we are really searching for a combination.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
its definitely the plan, stuart mentioned it in one of the press conferences a few weeks back that the plan was for Hodgson to spend a bit of time at lock with Starling at hooker but the injuries/HIA's during games had thwarted that plan.BadnMean wrote: ↑May 12, 2021, 8:21 am This is also the first time Ricky has left Havilii out this year.

We don't ask enough questions in the middle or have a link man with a passing game at lock so this is worth a go IMO
Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Yeah I've wondered if Tapine goes we might be well served to but Whitehead at lock next season before he ages out of the edge spot, he's got the toughness and ball playing and would still be a very mobile middle.kiwi raider wrote: ↑May 12, 2021, 8:38 amits definitely the plan, stuart mentioned it in one of the press conferences a few weeks back that the plan was for Hodgson to spend a bit of time at lock with Starling at hooker but the injuries/HIA's during games had thwarted that plan.BadnMean wrote: ↑May 12, 2021, 8:21 am This is also the first time Ricky has left Havilii out this year.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I reckon that's because he's a better middle than most of our other middles. I've got him streets ahead of Guler and Hors at this stage. He's had a few less opportunities but he could be going as well as Sutton.Northern Raider wrote: ↑May 12, 2021, 8:28 am Good to have Ryan James back in the team.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Havili has been underwhelming this season but circumstances meant we had to pick him the last 3 weeks.
Looking forward to seeing if Hodgson a bit fresher can remedy our 50th minute woes.

They really did. Particularly at home, we were always hard to beat - even when we were a clear step below the oppositions in terms of talent. Makes it all the more galling to watch the current group of talented players rolling over and conceding 30+ points every time they play at Bruce.Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑May 11, 2021, 10:48 pmWolfgrammemeister.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I would suggest scene is set for a smokey re: Hodgo and Starling. Hodgo is a starter not really an impact bench player. Starling, like he did last year, off the bench to provide punch around tired middles. Makes more sense. However, sticky and 'sense' in relation to bench use of late don't seem to have anything in common.

Re: 2021 Rd 10 V Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
100% agree NR. Hopefully one of Papa and James is always on the field and sometimes both. They gain meters up the middle and that is a good platform for the 6, 7 and 9 to play off.Northern Raider wrote: ↑May 12, 2021, 8:28 am Good to have Ryan James back in the team.

Hudson Young backs hooker Tom Starling to continue recent NRL form against Canterbury Bulldogs
Hudson Young believes his good mate Tom Starling is one of the only Raiders players who can claim to have been playing their best footy in season 2021.
"I think Tommy, you know what you're going to get out of him each week," Young said. "He's high energy and he's always going to put his best foot forward and he's been playing well."
