    How many wins to make the 8?

    Not sure... The Rabbitohs just won by 40 and the Roosters just lost by 20. Hard to know which version of the Roosters will turn up...

    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    Not a unique problem, it happens in pretty much every game. Some venues worse than others (in music choice as well). Sure the crowd expect to see and hear a show for the price of admission, but it can be a bit much...

    Post-Game Discussion Manly V Dolphins [Round 25, 2025]

    Speaking of stats, that game had the 8th highest points total in NSWRL/ARL/NRL history.

    Luke Brooks - the plate is hot

    Just from observation/opinion, if DCE is the sole playmaker, the opposition pressure him whenever possible and then his game falters. So this really drove the need to have another solid playmaking 5/8 next to him. I don't know if summation is believed or accepted within the club but it might...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    There are some comparatively average players that have won premierships this decade, this gets forgotten pretty quickly... The whole being greater than the sum of the parts and all.

    2026 recruitment & retention

    He's a fullback and at the Raiders he was behind a soon-to-depart 34 year old Jordan Rapana (and next to a stacked forward pack). Here he was still behind Tom T with Lehi as a backup. He signed for the Raiders as a utility but it was a much shorter route to a starting fullback role.

    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    It is worth pointing out that the Raiders have had 1 good year followed by a handful of poor years (including a rebuild) for Ricky Stuart's entire tenure as coach. But their owners seem happy to continue extending his contract even though he has missed the finals 50% of the time. In my opinion...

    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    If the club dropped the pretense that we are anywhere near a premiership then maybe we could invest a bit more and not just try and fill gaps. But it has to come from the top down.

    All NRL Games [Round 25, 2025]

    The Raiders seem to spend their salary cap money in their forwards as their first priority. Over time we've ended up in a position where it's our last priority. That, or we just have it invested in the wrong players.

    Tom and Jake

    Respectfully, do you have a problem with the much more incendiary criticism that gets routinely gets directed at the club, coach, and 28 other players (most of whom get paid much less)... or is it only an issue when Jake and Tom get criticised? Some people go too far. But this club is about to...

    Get Cleary

    We were dead last on the ladder until Round 17 that year (July 5, 2015). The club announced Toovey was leaving on July 28 (it would have been known internally for a while that he was going). A few of the players had clearly checked out that season, it was clear that the situation was...

    [Resurrected] Tom Wright

    He had 4 carries and made 3 tackles... so the physical requirements are somewhat different to League.

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Not really; timing is important. If the coach was sacked while we were on the edge of the top 8 several rounds ago, we would have got a stop-gap caretaker coach with the season on the line. The results could have been just the same, or worse, some would blame the caretaker coach, and the club...

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    You don't think the same captain and chief playmaker is a factor?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Our 2018 season had a younger and fitter Tom, DCE, peak Jake T, Taupau, Fonua-Blake, Dylan Walker, Api, Manase Fainu, and so on... and we very nearly won the wooden spoon. Yes we need a circuit breaker which means he should go... but in no way was it worse than our 2016-18 efforts.

    ...but apart from that, you're a fan of DCE?

    Sack Seibold Immediately

    Benji was the head coach at the Tigers last year, and was allegedly doing the head coaching role behind the scenes in 2023, even though Tim Sheens was the name in the record books. The Tigers won the wooden spoon in both years (granted, they also won it in 2022). They've had some good wins, but...

    2026 recruitment & retention

    If Josh Aloiai and/or Jake T get medically retired, then there's $500k - $1.5m of space in the salary cap for 2026... But until that gets finalised we can't really sign any big targets as we're otherwise only moving on players on modest coin, who have to be replaced by players on similar...

    All NRL Games [Round 23, 2025]

    I can only imagine that his manager wanting (and getting) a reported $650k per year for him was the issue.
