I completely forgot about Nicholson... I have no idea who would drop off. He may not come straight back into the 17. If anyone would probably be Mariota to drop, as Sasagi can cover the backs.

Yeah maybe Matty Nich has some of that agility- it's the balance to stay in good position and zip away under contact too instead of just getting stopped or knocked over.

I'd say Savage and Weekes about even- I don't see many signs of Xav slowing down, he just rarely gets a chance to go through all the gears. Weekes gets a lot more opportunity as a FB. We don't spread early or use our wingers much- everything arrows back in toward the ruck or as wide as our edge forwards running a line. I think at one point both our edge forwards were up near the top tryscorers for position- indicative of our style and where we attack.

I wonder if Weekes has him over 50-80?

Weekes can definitely change direction a lot faster than Savage. His balance is Tuivasa-Sheck like

Zac Hosking has been great this year as well. Cue song :

Denis Carnahan's Song of the Week: Zac! - ABC listen

For his Song of the Week in Round 20 Denis Carnahan has retreated into his happy place. He's combined two of his great loves - the Canberra Raiders and strutting around in a tight white vest to pay homage to one of the heroes of the Green Machine - Zac Hosking.

Ennis has a pretty large spank bank. He is like a 14yo with a bra's and things catalogue.

Good signs early Knights all over the Raiders.

Big red LOL!

He did so well then gave up on the play. If he gets up closer to Hudson he could have offloaded again too.

We really are the kings of making spazzy wingers look like champions.

Except for your own spazzy wingers.
