Benji is losing it

Benji is losing it

Are you implying he had it at some point?

 

[SeanT]

What's with the bench. Like Qld. Need big forwards. No idea why bird latu and de.silva are on the bench together.

Even Sheens sees that bench and thinks “dude, come on”

I know this thread is all over the place, but why is the team and discussion around it being posted here?

Raiders forward pack is stacked with big mobile forwards. If that's the bench we will get rolled.

14. De Silva
15. 2nd rower
16. Front rower.
17. Front rower

Should always be like this against a big forward pack.

how have you found Sione ? thought he’s been solid this year just quietly

I’ve found him more than solid, he’s been great.
One of our real success stories of 2025 so far.

 

[happy_tiger]

Luai has been much better in has last 2 starts .....but before that he wasn't earning his 1 2 million price tag

 

[mtd#2]

WHY

I somewhat understand it
He's coming back from another injury so ease him back into it
Also if NSW win i, I doubt we see Luai

What’s the result got to do with it?

 

[cqtiger]

My guess Latu is still on restricted minutes. Interesting if Luai doesn’t actually play.

Canberra's pack isn't that big either. Pattie, Sasagi, Smithies, Mariota. wouldn't be too worried about the impact from either bench, it's just weathering the storm of their starters.

Latu is on minutes restriction guys - very obvious

 

[Tom Shines]

He is likely starting half if Luai doesn’t back up …

 

[tigahhh]

restricted minutes or there’s legs to what everyone in the media has been saying all week that they see him a lock

also, if there’s a single game you do play Royce hunt it’s against the raiders…..

What's not so obvious (to me) is why are we playing blokes with any restrictions on them in the 17 at all?
(Especially a Half)
Isn't that what reserve grade is for?

Glad to see even Rookie coaches can have that all knowing arrogance.
