48hrs more?

Looks like Jock Madden is on the move to ESL Broncos squeezing him out

His last game for the Bronx was round 18 last year and injured his hammy

Contract expires end of 2026 possibly releasing him early

First game? What season are you talking about?

Nevermind…
2 Sunday games in a row now before the first bye so a chance for a bit of consistency and recovery.

Sorry I ment our game on Easter monday

 

[Tiger Stripes]

If I was targeting anyone there it would be the second rower on the other side, hopefully Dylan Lucas can play both sides if required.

He was outstanding compared to KPP. 1st into tackles and did a great job.
Seyfarth and Fainu wont loose any sleep over KPP; should he come to WT, that's for sure, IMO.

Sorry I meant our game on Easter monday

Knew what u meant.Its a lot of hard football in less than a fortrnite is the point,which I hadnt realised tbh
Ridiculous
And to win 2 out of 3 is more respectable

 

[Fainu Brothers]

If we Richo and Benji can get the 3 right players we can really have a squad capable of competing for finals and top 4.

Its virtually a top 20 at the moment, pretty light in the forwards if there is injuries and skinny in the backs. Plus may need a half if Galvin goes next year. Latu really needs to play consistent footy

Beat me to it, he's a gun, exactly what the modern edge backrower looks like, mobile as anyone but enough engine and size to compete on every play. Would take him in a heartbeat

Chronically troubled guys are usually chronic trouble to manage,,,until they reach a wake up call that theyre just pissing away $$$$ in pursuit of "lifesytle"
Some get it in their 20s...some get it in their 30s..some never get it`,like Todd Carney who went from Raiders to Cronulla to obscurity about a decade ago

Carney has actually turned his life around mate

Coaching should take care of this, but theres also a little body science to consider with Sammy and Seyfarth. Both are built tall and a little lighter than other back rowers out there ie Fafita, Carrigan, Yeo ect. Maybe some angles like we saw from the Shire derricks last week,
Nikora runs some great inside and reverse lines off the 6, works great for them. Just not at Leichhardt haha.

Some players have just got it, hitting a hole at speed
You mentioned Nikora he is one of the best hole running 2nd rowers in the comp.
Luai had Sorensen at Penrith who also could hit a hole at speed.
I know Sorensen was a speedy back growing up in the juniors at Cronulla and I suspect Nikora would have been the same.
Unfortunately our 2nd rowers look like they have played all their life putting their head in a scrum just taking hit up after hit up.
We need to recruit players that can do the job because at the moment we don’t have that type of player in our roster.

You have 2?

One can still function effectively wiff only 1 .. 😉

Fifita playing Q Cup on the weekend has 9 runs for 58m

There’s a guy who has checked out of the nrl & is happy to collect his big $ for another year & a half .

What are the chances he is back against the tigers in round 20 and plays destructive.. right?

 

[Vicious]

I’ve been keen on us signing KPP due to his potential based on size, skill and athleticism, but the more I watch him the more lhe seems to be a player who just wants to coast through his career without ever pushing himself hard enough to play with the high energy and aggression required to get the best out of himself.
If not KPP I’m not sure who our next edge back rower target could be, all the good ones are locked up for the next few years and as there is a noticeable shortage in this position, I can’t see rival clubs releasing anyone featuring in their NRL team early.
I do agree we ideally need someone on one of our edges with the speed, aggression and attacking threat of players such as Briton Nikora and Dylan Lucas, the Raiders appear to have found one similar in Matty Nicholson recruited from the UK.
Maybe we need to hunt for a hidden gem or two from the UK, or we might have to find an up and comer or someone waiting for an opportunity, maybe a good sized centre who plays tough who can potentially convert to become an NRL standard edge back rower ?
A player I have long suspected could potentially become a good edge back rower and I recall him being selected in the Qld Cup Team of the Week last season when playing as back rower is Aaron Schoupp currently languishing in NSW Cup at Manly.
Initially as a depth signing for 2026, he would be a good upgrade on players such as Faatape and Feledy, but well worth a look at potentially getting back to regular NRL as an edge back rower.

He looked up towards luai and went quickly. It was not a coincidence like you want to believe. It's a fact

As I said to you earlier, unless Galvin can see through walls and humans, he wouldn't have been able to see Luai. It was coincidence that he left when he did and the camera angle just amplifies the conspiracy.. watch it again .

Totally agree, every game I have seen him play he looks like poo, not worth the cash.
