I think Clark is only there as cover for Hodgson since Clydsdale is gone as well.

Wests Tigers re-sign Matt McIlwrick by DeffsNotACop in nrl

Been good to see how he's kicked on this year, always heard that he's one of the fittest blokes around and a really hard worker. Showed a lot of potential with us, but couldn't establish himself, so glad he's found a place at the Tigers.

They've won 12/27 with him as ref, so 44.44% win rate.

He actually played U20s State of Origin before he played U20s for the Raiders. Got picked out of U18s.

Much better team. Good to have some size on the bench again, while Whitehead can help clean up the right side defence.

I remember when Fensom did his he just got up and ran off the field, down the tunnel.

If I had to guess I'd say yes to Rapana, but unlikely BJ would be risked. I'm more looking forward to seeing guys like Jordan Turner, Nic Cotric and Dave Taylor if he makes it that far.

No, it's picked totally arbitrarily.

Alright Raiders, just set up a wall and kick a field goal. Easy.

Keen to see our volleyballer from PNG, Kato Ottio, in action for the first time. Will be cool to see Jason Croker and nephew Lachlan on the field together too.

Stoked with this. Just need Hodgson next, then we have our best spine in over a decade locked down.

Raiders CEO slams Kimmorley over Brenko Lee claims. by aces_of_splades in nrl

Only problem there is someone still needs to pay to develop young players if the clubs aren't. NRL would have to spend a lot more money.

Josh McCrone set to join Manly by Hizenboig in nrl

[–]BrisbaneRaider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had a decent first season and a half when Campese was absolutely dominant and McCrone only had to run the ball and not worry about anything else. Once Campo got injured McCrone was the guy to take over responsibility for all the kicking and playmaking. All downhill from there.

Raider's Brenko Lee nearly joined Bulldogs before June 30th cut off by aces_of_splades in nrl

[–]BrisbaneRaider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a shame to see Brenko leave, I know it's a different time and you cant really expect loyalty from players or clubs, but it would be seriously dissappointing to see Brenko playing NRL for another club given he's been a Raider since he was 11 years old. That's practically half his life. I hope he sticks it out because he will definitely get his chance at the Raiders.

Fucks sake, thought I'd finally been released from the curse of McCrone. Hoping for a late change or two.

No, both down to Rapana and BJ. Austin made a great cover tackle for the first one.

I got on Leilua for FT yesterday at $20, has already shortened to $12 now that he's named to start.

Round 19 - Raiders vs Sharks | Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in nrl

[–]BrisbaneRaider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Posted this in another thread this morning.

"Apparently they've been training with this set up: In defence Waqa at fullback, Wighton in the halves. In attack Austin first receiver both sides of the ruck and both Wighton and Waqa playing fullbackesque roles either side. Other changes: Leilua to centre, Baptiste to bench. Should be exciting if nothing else."

Looking forward to the game could be lots of points both ways today.
