    To hell with it - time for mass changes.

    Dugan Croker Stuart Monaghan Vidot Campese McCrone Tongue J Thompson Harrison Tilse Buttriss T Thompson Bench: Thurling, Joyce, Cross and Fensom Graham, Miller, Plum & Turner to SL. Cross can play centre or backrow. Considered Logan, if fit, but looking to the future. Campo and Joel Monaghan...

    Daniel Vidot to Bulldogs (Rumour)

    ' Certainly need to re-assess where they get there talent from. With 3 teams now in Queensland you would certainly be taking a punt developing a youngster who is from Queensland. The "Zillman" like scenario will happen more often than not. Thankfully the likes of Carney, Croker, Dugan, Fensom...

    Daniel Vidot to Bulldogs (Rumour)

    The fact that he was still showing as being contracted until only the end of 2009 has been troubling me for some time. As has the fact that despite apparently going well in the pre-season trials he has not been given a chance in first grade. One could easily conclude that he is definitely going...

    Raiders V Titans: Unchanged Lineup

    Have we really seen enough of Flanagan to make such a call. I would consider both him and Joel Thompson in my top 17.

    Surprise....

    My first live Raiders game of the year and go to agree. Watching them yesterday I couldn't help thinking that the forwards seem a couple of rungs below the fitness levels required. Maybe it is just the fact that we carry so many big boppers. Very disappointed in Shillington and Logan (please...

    "Considering upgrading", what the hell are they waiting for!!!

    dugan playing ?

    Why would playing at SL be considered to be dropped. I would of thought it was a step up from the NYC.

    That's the season.

    What a woeful effort. Any thoughts about Monaghan playing for NSW are gone and I fear Campo will also be axed. Dugan must come in for Milne and stay there for the rest of the year. Graham offers nothing (apparently signed with the Roosters) so he can spend the rest of his career at SL. Herbert...

    How's Carney?

    Surely if Carney plays he will slot in to left centre moving Croker to right centre and Monaghan to right wing. Also think Croker will be more comfortable on the right side. If Monaghan is picked for NSW, I hope Furner gives Vidot his chance in the NRL. We have seen what Purtell offers and it...

    Zillmann should return

    Must admit I was one of those who thought he was a star of the future after watching him again last night I am more than happy to retain all of the star backs from the NYC some of whom would of probably been forced out if he has signed an extended deal with us. Now, if only we had let Purtell go...

    Raiders Player Recruitment/Retention Update

    Hope Daniel Vidot is part of their plans as well, I believe he comes off contract at the end of this year. Little surprised re Logan and Graham. I would rather spend Graham's money on a long term deal for Vidot.

    dugan playing ?

    He has to come in on the wing and could swap with Milne from time to time (Milne looked stuffed at certain times throughout the match) and also take a leaf out of Purtell's book and come in to first receiver or dummy half whenever possible. Only difference he wouldn't be doing it in slow motion...

    Raiders vs. Rabbitohs - Official Team.

    Great confidence booster for the team tonight and special recognition to Marc Herbert, who I have bagged on several occasions. The forwards to a man were outstanding with Tilse and Miller handing in their best efforts of the season. Buttriss was a lot sharper out of dummy half and TLL, who has...

    "The Mystery Player"

    My money would be on Purtell. Have this nagging memory that he has played there before in reserve grade.

    Raiders vs. Rabbitohs - Official Team.

    Hope Furner runs with McCrone and Herbert rather than playing Tongue in the halves, if he comes through his fitness test. You would think Plum would probably drop off the bench if Tongue is available. Get back to the basics Tonguey, tackling and support play. No Crocker or Wing in the Souths...

    Great Win!!! But................

    Don't think anyone is "deathriding"the Raiders however I think all supporters have the right to vent their frustrations after what can only be described as a very disappointing season so far.

    Great Win!!! But................

    No doubt a comprehensive performance yesterday but there a still a few things that I find concerning; 1. Our ability to let teams back in to the game after a great start. I don't know if it has something to do with the interchange process but we seem to consistently drop off after 15-20...

    Get rid of the dead wood!!!!

    The more I think about our half back situation the more I am warming to giving Travis Waddell the reins. He was a half before coming to the club and whilst I don't think he is physically ready for the hooker role, he could more than handle the physical requirements of the 7 jumper and if it...

    Get rid of the dead wood!!!!

    If we are going to be fair dinkum, Yes. He has been a good servant but seems caught between front row and second row and is proving effective at neither. Time for a more mobile backrower like Joel Thompson to get his chance.

    Get rid of the dead wood!!!!

    If it wasn't apparent before surely it hit home last night that there are several Raiders in the Top 25 that are not NRL standard. We need a clean out along the same lines as the Bulldogs did last year. From last night's team I would be happy to get rid of Purtell, Herbert, Miller, Plum, Logan...
