I thought is was time for a status update.
- We currently have 3 players who played State of Origin this year - the most for quite a while
- We have around 7-8 players who would be expected to represent a tier 1 nation at the end of the year
- We have one of the best up and coming fullbacks in the league
- Our 5/8 (who I was very concerned with at the start of the year) has been a revelation.
- Our defensive game is better than at any point in recent history
- We have arguably the best back row in the comp
- We have signed a current tier 1 international half to run off the back of our current tier 1 international dummy half, paring with a current Origin player in the 6
- We are currently in 3rd spot on the table after 17 rounds
There is plenty of room to improve, but maybe just for a week, lets bathe in the magic of being a supporter of a competitive Raiders team - it doesn't happen anywhere near as often as it should.
