According to the media, Trump has had some experience in the hooker position.

Good one Red.

In all seriousness, the 9 position is by far our biggest concern. The issue as well? There is literally no one in the market to go and get. It’s slim pickings for a hooker in this day and age across the whole league. And we don’t have anyone coming up either. It’s not promising.

How good would it be if an international hooker came on the market. Someone with over 100 NRL games under their belt but still young enough to suggest they might be on the rise. We can only dream.

Cmon Billy. Let’s be real here. It is imo, the most important position in the game and it is our weakest position. Look at the last time we had a quality 9 and what we did. Unless our current hookers have a great purple patch, which isn’t out of the question, we’re gonna struggle.

[Regs Revolution]

Would it hurt us to give Puru a shot at 9?

Or, I know this is speculative and outlandish, but could Fogarty be transitioned to a 9 if we land the Colonel? Not sure how he would hold up defensively but at this point in time, I would try anything.

fogarty is already the best 9 we have

seriously Dusty? on what grounds was Levi one of our best? was it the passes a foot above Fogs head? passes behind runners? passes at the face?ground balls? was it the poor running game? the missed tackles?

Well this is just what we need right before we play the Sharks. Tigers currently embarrassing them. They'll be fired up next week looking for a bounce-back win if the Tigers go on with it.

Levi was just trying too hard out there.

Royce Hunt injured warming up on the sideline and Finucane split open with a few head clashes so that will take a fair bit out of their forwards covering those two.

Finucane failed HIA

So he won't be available

Is it any HIA failure or does it need to be a certain category?

Believe it's a 11 day stand down.
Kris wasn't Cat 1 but failed HIA.

Cheers - be handy if he’s out.

[Botman]

Id much rather Finucane IN
Dude is a complete spud, our middles, even our bench middles will roll over that dude.

But by my reckoning, we beat the tigers by 20
The tigers are currently up by 24

20 * 24 (just trust me!)

we should beat the sharks by about 480 points!

[Crusader]

McInnes on report, Finucane HIA, Hunt Injured, Nikora Suspended

would love them all on for the challenge, but some big losses for sharks

Your brilliant logic fails to take account of the fact that the sharks by that logic also beat the Warriors, and so therefore, we will lose by 53

[Raider47]

If we're at all serious this season we need to be making five changes and do it now otherwise we're just faffing about for sentimentality sake.

Kris, Schiller, Mooney, Ata and Horse in and Cotric, Hoppa, Whitehead, Guler and Saulo out. Those former players mentioned are completely toying with Cup and it's unfair and dumb that they aren't playing NRL.

Between Smithies, Horse, Ata and Mooney there is enough cover there should a second rower go down or backline player.

**** that team is exciting. Would love to see Woolford/Trev and Puru in for Levi and Starling but tbh it's much of muchness atm.

Battle of the flat track bullies...
Still, Sharks will be paying $1.20 for this game.

Try visiting the LeagueUnlimited forums then... there are more pessimistic fans than me who hang out there.

[InFernos_Raiders]

I just finished watching the Raiders v Warriors NSW Cup Match and OMG have we got some nice depth.

Trev looked good in the NSW Cup game against the Warriors

[-PJ-]

Just noticed we have the Sunday 6-15pm time slot for the next 3weeks straight.

[NoMan]

Trev did play well yesterday. He is the best of the senior hookers with the ball in hand at the club.

Problem is he is playing 20 minutes a week so will be no chance of playing extended minutes in first grade.

They probably need to make a call on letting one of the hookers go at some point, even if that is Trev. SG Ball also ends in a couple of weeks so you will have Cacciotti’s development to consider and Pattie is going really well by all reports.

[Sid]

Raiders are above sharks on the ladder at the moment, but as the pundits have been saying we have to remember that one of Raiders wins was only against the lowly Tigers.

And the tigers just showed us how important it is to have a good 9. Api is special. I could argue that the game would have been touch and go if it wasn’t for him.

[denissnowy]

Api was outstanding

I’m not so sure we need to worried about the Sharks. They are not an elite side.

The Raiders need to worry about themselves. And if we are fairdinkum, we shouldn’t be concerned about a side starting Toby Rudolf at prop.

[Crusader]

I noticed offloads were killing the Sharks, personally I think sharks have been Flat this year, beat the Warriors they should of put 30 on them, struggled to shut down Dogs until dogs gave up, pumped by Tigers.....Raiders will be up for this, Whitehead needs to swallow his pride and start from Bench, and here is a huge call.....come on for Young

[Neeeegz]

Levi needs to be fired out of a cannon and never play firsts again until he learns to pass

Also exactly what I came here to write. That bench would dominate the middle of the game.
