2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

[-PJ-]

More speed than Oxford St.

[Dr Zaius]

God it is great to have some speed back in the team. We're going to have games like last week, but damned if I haven't got more enjoyment out of the first five games of the season than I did out of a whole season of dross last year.

[BJ]

Never thought I'd utter these words, but I'm loving Danny Levi.

And even Sezer has been OK for Tigers.

[kiwi raider]

Our best attacking football since leipana?

[Neeeegz]

Apart from the obvious standouts, I’m gonna give Levi and Saulo a wrap.

Yep, both played good, I'd like to see Woodford in for starling though

Yeah even with our wins last year, it was thoroughly un-enjoyable. You wouldn't want to to re-watch any of those games.

Yep me too

Over 100m for a bloke on one leg is amazing

Casey Badger is the best video ref. Not sure why she is always running the line while we have clowns like the idiot in NZ the other week stinking things up.

I’ll second this. She has not always done well in field, but I have always been impressed with the way she operates in the bunker. I would rate her as one of the best in that role if not the best.

Agree. Even the wins last year were disgusting to watch.

There is no way hoppa walks back into this team, schiller needs to be on that wing outside timoko

Enjoy the bus ride home Gutho..loser !!!!!

His hissy fit to the ref at the end when he had no idea what he was on about was extremely pleasing.

She missed a blatant ball on the line earlier

The old 4K OLED showed the ball touching blades of grass inside the line before the rest of the ball hitting the line. Casey got it right.

I agree. Less crash balls this year too

[dubby]

Good win.

Saulo was good

Raiders with the highest points differential

And I have NFI when that last happened, we are a much better side without relying on Jack as our go to man.
You bloody beauty, what a game

Oh, sorry rep.

[Neeeegz]

200+m for Schiller, Timoko and Savage
100+m for Rapana, Kris, Tapine, Young, Smithies, Saulo

Sent from my SM-S911B using Tapatalk

That should equal 200m for rapa, because ove 100m of that was with a rock melon for a knee cap.. that guy is bat **** crazy and I love him

[Elcaptcroker]

Jack was amazing at his best, but this year is already proving to a lot of people that he was holding us back in attack

I personally feel like the Wighton “addition by subtraction” was fairly inevitable.

His performances had fallen off a cliff in recent years. Souths are welcome to him. (Let’s not forget Rick was prepared to spend a huge chunk of our cap the next 4 years on him as a kneejerk response btw)

I wonder if Jack was watching.

Hello Jack.

How good was that tonight ?

Enjoy being last and 300k poorer for it

I think he ended up going for $700K, turning down our $1.2mill. So even poorer still! Ooft.

South's are a media darling.

Stuff them

[RedRaider]

Very Happy with the two competition points, but gee the Eels played poorly. So much dropped ball. Dumb penalties. Having said that, in Strange, Xav and Timoko we have so much individual strike power. One a rookie, one returning from injury, one an International. From the point of view, 'are the heads screwed on to be motivated each week' we have the Titans next week. In years past this has been the time for complacency to take over. Here's hoping this group of Raiders is made of tougher stuff.

Say what now? Doesn’t matter if it hits a blade of grass inside first if it hits the line?

[BadnMean]

How’s anyone critical of anything or anyone coming out of this performance?

If you're an opposition coach, what would you focus in on?

[mikeraider]

Absolutely loved the way the raiders bounced back this week, everyone in the team did their job , Timoko was outstanding, Young played football without the grubby stuff, thought only blemish from Fogarty was his goal kicking missed four.

Well if he stayed then maybe we’d be last… him leaving did cause the rebuild penny drop…

But it’s another data point to add to show the coach is far from always right. That offer to Jack was horrific.

[Billy Walker]

Im worried thats Rapa gone for good now. if hes done his knee he will retire

PR - just checking you don’t have power of attorney over anyone do you!

Bit quick to pull the plug

[nachopants]

I know this is hyperbolic and stuff, but honestly. Despite a couple of errors, I just base my love of our squad on effort.

Cotric's first grade career - after SO many chances - and reaching the Blues - it just ended for me tonight at the Raiders.

James is a real go'er, he wants it more. Cotric could be something somewhere else on the wing, but if he wants to stay relevant he has to start thinking about bulking up and playing back row in 2025 or something. He's relatively slow, his skills are mediocre, his balance is extremely poor so he gets dominated on kick returns.

My point is, James has errors in him but he's inexperienced as heck.

Cotric has every opportunity afforded to him by us, the Dogs, NSW, and now he's "okay" in NSW Cup. James dominated NSW Cup in the early rounds.

He still had more good moments tonight than Nick has had all year. Nick against the Warriors was, yikes.

Dunno, I'm done.
