LIVE GAME 2026 Round 1 (cont.) discussion.

[Tucker]

Raiders look extremely fit, very fast and have enormous confidence in themselves.
They are just manhandling the Sea Eagles now, making huge gains every set.
Remember how this game started…at one stage I saw Raiders had made triple the tackles Manly had and were down 14 blot with Turbo dictating terms.
Terrific fight back.

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Koula, he is the real deal at centre, electric.

 

[innsaneink]

Youd think Manly have the momentum going into gp

 

[Yossarian]

Canberra taking a leaf from the Wests Tigers playbook.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Parramatta should have kept him lol

 

[Tucker]

The kid comes in clutch.
These two Ethan’s will cause teams some trouble this year

Did you read what Ricky said about Dropping Owen Pattie such a good coach I will try to find it

But when Owen and the two Ethan's along with the fullback just electric

Entertaining game. The Raiders power game for the middle 50 minutes was enormous. They'll be tough to beat.

Head coach Ricky Stuart has decided that due to Pattie only playing limited minutes in the top grade, and as per Code Sports, he said his development was being stunted because of it.

“The only reason Owen Pattie is playing NSW Cup is he needs more game time to keep developing his career,'' Stuart said.

He is still very young as a hooker at NRL level, and I need to do this as he is our future and going to be the Raiders' starting hooker for as long as he wants so I need to give him more game time whilst it is available to make him the best player he can be.

“His game will not progress at an NRL level by averaging 21 minutes a week.

“It was a very unique year for Owen last season finding his feet at NRL level coming off the bench behind Starlo (Starling) but I don't want him to be an
impact player. He needs to learn how to play long minutes in what is one of the most demanding positions on the field.

“He is a professional and totally understood and trusted the call."


What a great coach and what a number 9 to understand that

The way they ripped through Manly early in the second half set up that win. They scored some flashy tries but it was their power and offloads that set it up. Too many teams play sideways nowadays and the best teams have the ability to win down Main Street. Would have been an injustice if Manly stole it.

 

[Yossarian]

Some of those Manly fans who left at 14 points down would have almost made it to The Spit bridge before doing a u-turn and heading back.

Then kicking stones on their second lap out.

Wow 29/28 Raiders vs eagles.

You can see a higher work rate of the Raiders in the stats..

What's scaring me, only two games were close. This one and Dogs vs Dragons.

The rest were total wipeouts.
Which means, either we will go GOOD or go very badly.

 

[hank37w]

Just looking at Jake T's headgear he looks like a character out of the X Men.

Bubble wrap head.

Maybe the Parra-sites should offer him $600k.

Glad Canberra won in the end but I still hate Golden Point.
