Rightio then.
Yeah, that Papalii deal has aged well. Good roster managers don't fork out megabucks for middles - so a match winning front rower under $750k is good value.BadnMean wrote: ↑March 18, 2021, 7:24 amGetting pretty good value on Papa, considering he's in the quality bracket of guys asking nearer 1 mill per season.greeneyed wrote: ↑March 17, 2021, 9:04 pm Hits and myths: The bargain buys giving their all — and the expensive flops killing their clubs
Bargain buys: Hudson Young (Canberra Raiders): Still very much only a young gun on the rise, the Raiders look to have unearthed a quality right edge forward in this bloke. Was on a cut-price deal last year but has just been upgraded to a new deal for this year through until the end of 2024. Currently on a contract worth around $280,000.
Price is right: Jack Wighton (Canberra Raiders): Around $950,000 this year.
Josh Papalii (Canberra Raiders): Around the $700,000 a season mark.

Jack has been delivering and it's probably what we had to come up with to keep him.
I'd say Young's contract is about right at the moment. He's on the rise but needs to put a full season together and find his best position before he's worth big dollars.
Well, you’re at the pub, on the cans. I’m guessing there’s a television there right ? Footy probably showing.The Nickman wrote: ↑March 18, 2021, 10:33 amWot.

My answer to Raiders games in that time slot last year was to open my top draw slightly, have the phone in there screen facing up and headphones hooked to it. It won zero points for subtlety but I got to watch Raiders.Rick wrote:All I am seeing from this is that you need to knock of work earlier?

Look, you're not entirely wrong here, pick... I don't really like watching Raiders games at the pub, never really have, unless I'm with a big group of Raiders mates, and even then you miss half the game.pickles wrote: ↑March 18, 2021, 1:30 pm Nickman's problem is that his "friends" that he is so desperate to spend every weekend with are complete **** and he can't enjoy watching the footy with them so has to go home to watch the footy and then back to the pub.
From my perspective timeslots are the least of the problem here but what would I know?
Pretty clear message from the coach about Croker coming straight back in for Kris when he is good to go in 1-2 weeks.greeneyed wrote: ↑ VIDEO: Wet weather, new rules, and an unchanged squad: Ricky Stuart spoke to the media ahead of Sunday's match against the Cronulla Sharks: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2021/03 ... ged-squad/
I don't know why anyone would think Croker wouldn't come straight back into the side. That centre spot is his.Seiffert82 wrote:Pretty clear message from the coach about Croker coming straight back in for Kris when he is good to go in 1-2 weeks.greeneyed wrote: ↑ VIDEO: Wet weather, new rules, and an unchanged squad: Ricky Stuart spoke to the media ahead of Sunday's match against the Cronulla Sharks: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2021/03 ... ged-squad/
Also some interesting comments about the speed of our games not being impacted a great deal by the rule changes.

Also, my wife is a mad raiders fan too, so I prefer watching the game with her and she prefers not to be at the pub.
Sundays just work for us, if it's a Saturday I go to the pub a few hours, go home for the game and then go back to the pub.
True. But don’t dare mention that we play Kris on the bench when Croker returns. You will be shot!Lui_Bon wrote:Meanwhile, on team news, I don't know how many of you noticed the remarks on media that people barely noticed Bailey Simonsson going off the field. I did because it was right in front of me (yes, I know, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES!). The point was that from the far side of the field, Jordan Rapana was running over trying to get instructions as to how to deal with it, and Elliot Whitehead was kind of trailing up waiting for the news to be relayed to him. Jordy ran over and then backed up maybe 3 or 4 times before they gave up and just assumed that Curtis was covering the right wing and Hudson Young was effectively the centre. I have no idea whether they got any message from the sideline. Thank the four asterisks that Bailey was back on after about 3 minutes, and it didn't have any material effect.
But it could have. Stuart's bench is bloody risky and I don't like it. That is all.

I know it's a cliche but I think our English contingent play great in the wet generally. The forwards rip in and win the collision which is huge and Williams has a great kicking game for a soggy in goal.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑March 19, 2021, 3:50 pm The current weather and the forecast for Sydney looks horrendous.
Theoretically I think this suits our style. Strong rotation of middles who have decent footwork, good running halves and both Wighton and Williams have the ability to put pressure on their back 3 with their kicking games. Hodgson's quickness out of dummy half will be important. We also don't rely on speed or a deep structure in attack.
We just need to stick to the basics, which I think we do better than most other teams.
All things being equal I think the coach will be extremely disappointed if we lose this one.
