Yeah the Knights suck so badly at developing players your club literally took basically a third of them for your top 30 after the Knights spent years getting them to the point of being FG ready. I wouldn't expect you to understand that development doesnt start when they're in a first grade squad when your club just takes close to the final product that was already developed.

To be fair we did take Leo Thompson from your juniors...and developed him to the point where you guys wanted to spend 900k to buy him back lol.
jeez.... we gave you Schiller, so ungrateful

We should win this game.
Our pack should be able to dominate the middle, our kicking game is much better and Tamale is a loss but the strike out wide should still be enough
But that was all the case last week and we barely limped home against the tigers. We are due for a loss and this one makes sense as a slip up game.

My feeling on the rest of the Raiders year is we'll split the two knights games, drop one other game somewhere along the way, and then our chances for the minor premiership will come down to whether we win the Round 25 Penrith game

Ricky should tell them to take it easy on us as a thank you for producing so many of his players for him.
You can hardly blame us. Its hard to convince a player to move from the Eastern Suburbs or North Shore to Canberra.

There are only so many shit holes like England and Newcastle that we can recruit out of and present a player with a legitimate lifestyle upgrade.
