2024 Round 6 v Titans: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

[Rick]

Imagine Chev comes in and has a game or 2 where he can’t be dropped.

Would be nice to have someone like Rapana in the 14

Over the next few weeks, we play the Titans at home, the Broncos in Brisbane, the Sharks at home, and Manly at Brookvale.

While the Titans are definitely struggling so far, the next three are quite high-level games.

If Rapana misses a month, for example, how confident are we to play Chevy against last years Grand Finalist, and Manly at Brookvale where DCE tends to give us a bath?

The alternative is Hoppa or Kris at fullback, and I am not a fan of that. Thoughts?

[Dylan’s Raiders]

In such circumstances, Chevy’s jersey to keep. If he plays well, keep him in. If Rapana is out, don’t drop Chevy unless it is clear he isn’t up to it and his development is better off in cup. Otherwise, yeah Hopa or Kris. Savage came out and said he wasn’t up to being the fullback in the off season.

[Raiders_Pat]

Stewart should be next up in this situation so I'm more than happy if I'm proved wrong and we see his selection today.

I’m one of Chevy’s biggest fan but that’s a big ask.

I think they should play Weekes there in NSW cup this weekend and then think about bringing him in or at least having him ready to go.

Canberra Raiders teen Chevy Stewart set for NRL debut after Jordan Rapana injury

The Canberra Raiders are set to give an NRL debut to fullback Chevy Stewart for Sunday's clash against the Gold Coast Titans, after Jordan Rapana aggravated a knee injury. Stewart is only 18 years old but had a spectacular rise through the grades in Canberra last season. After Rapana had scans on Monday for a meniscus issue in his right knee and was ruled out of this weekend's home game, Stewart has now been greenlit to make his NRL debut.

The Canberra Raiders have named their team for their Round 6 match against the Gold Coast Titans at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Chevy Stewart will become Raider #396 after he was named at fullback this weekend. Jordan Rapana has been ruled out for 6-8 weeks, with the Raiders fullback set to undergo minor surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his knee.

Corey Horsburgh will also miss between 6-8 weeks with a groin injury, which sees Trey Mooney given his first opportunity of the year this weekend from the interchange bench.

Zac Hosking also returns to the team this weekend after missing a week through concussion protocols. He has been named to start in the second row, with Ata Mariota shifting back to the bench and Simi Sasagi to the extended squad.

Albert Hopoate (arm burn) is set to return for the Raiders in Round 7, while Elliott Whitehead (calf) is on track to for a return in Round 8-9.

By the way, the Canberra Times pulled the article about Stewart making his debut.

Greatest teamlist Tuesday of all time!

[Dylan’s Raiders]

Terrific squad - now Trey can make the spot his own and we can re-sign him.

Horse and Rapana out for 6 to 8 weeks

[-TW-]

Oh boy, what a team

I'm just worried that we'll lose and THEN what will the GH meltdown look like?

[Azza]

Great to see these guys in but dismayed at losing Raps for 6 weeks, I hope him coming back on didn't make things worse

[IBG]

Yeah losing Raps for 6 weeks is a big loss. Rest up old dog.

Onya, Ricky!!

Sad for Rapa and hope is is back pronto.

But I can't lie and say that I am not excited to see that team list.

And stoked for Mooney.

Have the club come out and said 6 Weeks for Rapa?

It's always Ricky's fault

Seriously though, I think we win this.

Where's the 6 weeks for Rapa come from? Can't find anything official on here or anywhere else online.

Excellent team and so pumped for Chevy and Trey. Hope they both kill it.

Horse is unlucky. No Origin for him. Can’t help but wonder if coming back underdone contributed to it. Classic way to get a groin injury.

And I hate seeing Rapa injured. Hopefully, he recovers and plays out the rest of the season in a style that befits the legend he is.

[Green Machine]

What a lineup. The young bulls are in.

Very bad news. Hoping for a swift recovery.

[Canberra Milk]

Another great pro-GH team. Last time that happened we played terrible hoping a better result this time. Well done Mooney

[Dylan’s Raiders]

I’m so excited - this is close to our best team. Guler dropping the pecking order “chefs kiss”.

Sticky has been blooding the kids well starting with Strange last year - Chevy is going to come into round 1 next year worlds ahead where he is now.

I also think they may have nailed the development of Trey Mooney - he is only 21 but so ready for first grade. Time will tell.

[Andymachine]

Credit to Ricky for making the right choices this week. I would have been very unhappy to see one or both of:

A. Guler brought back in to replace Hors
B. Kris moved to fullback and Cotric brought into centre.

I think both of the above were highly possible and would have been classic Ricky selections, but Stewart and Mooney were the right choices and I'm excited to see them. Hoping Mooney can make himself undroppable from here on (and Whitehead's calf heals reeaaally slowly).
