The more I look at that Earl, the more I think you're just about spot on, with maybe a couple of youngsters coming on throughout the year. I'm more than happy with that line-up.

Top game, really enjoyable and hoping for more. No doubt we are going to have fun with the old fella back, just praying it is 2010-11 fun, not the 2006-2009 edition, which had plenty of points and plenty of heartbreak.
Might be due to the change of coach
Surely he gets a spot on the bench
200 passes a day, bagged. Defence bagged, teamwork bagged, coaching bagged. Early days, but they looked good. Klemmer, and paps showed the work ethic, and they followed. AD has learnt to use his hands and when not to run, and had a great game, The whole side dug in, congradulations.

That sucks. @rusted-on - I'd have Seyfarth over Twal but I can understand picking Twal. To me Seyfarth is more mobile and quicker which means he is less of a plodder.
I reckon Twal is okay but we have better middle forwards.

This win could be even better if we end up getting Moses from it

That doesn't feel right to me though. AJ > Talau. Nofo is just getting his spot due to having a big contract with us.

Don’t think you could ask for much more then that from a trial. Result aside the defence and style of play very enjoyable to see. A lot of guys throwing their hands up giving Tim a big headache for round 1.
Kenny was one of the very few players who could hold his head up after the 2022 season. It’s unfortunate for him but even if fit I don’t think you can leave Junior Tupou out of the Round 1 side.

Didn’t someone say nofo wouldn't play a regular round for the Tigers this year?
Regardless, I think it is great to have competition for positions, something we have not had in a while. Really liked James as well. I have seen him before and liked what I saw. Should be a much better year 🙂
Earl even though the young guys did very well today,you forget once the season proper starts we will need more experienced players such as Twal doing the hard work while the younger guys gain experience slowly...no good putting the young guys out to shine when they need to learn more,and most of all we DONT NEED long term injuries early to them which dents the confidence...but I liked your line up,but as you know Sheens comes up with totally different teams and surprises us all...

He looked real good in reserves. I think you have to give players like that a shot.

I bet they trained really well, and it’s a process and they will soon start to see the focus on hit ups pay off
I thought I noticed AJ playing like another second rower today.

I love big Ken but with his injury history and after today if a club was ruthless they would medically retire him with as much respect as they can.

See Madge has already put his stamp on the Raiders, their attack is non existent and their defence is all over the shop.
Credit to him though, took him 2 years to get us to that position, he has done this in a matter of months at Canberra

Good team but be surprised if Bateman plays, so Twal for his experience, first game of the year.
Nofo as well for his experience and he has shown he brings can bring the ball back well from kicks with a quick play the ball
