Good reward for Tilse who has been good for us this season. Guess the lack of games meant Dugan wasn't picked else he should have been in ahead of Croker who had a very average season.

Croker? Wow, that's from left field. He's gone backwards at a rate of knots this season.

Shillo is out of form and doesn't deserve it.

Just rewards for Tilse and Fergo though. Tilse has been one of the best props all season and Fergo is one of the most dangerous long range attacking players in the game.

Dugan's dad Ricky mustn't be one of the selectors.

Thought Fensom was unlucky to miss out....

 

[Parra Pride]

Hayne > Dugan.

 

[84 Baby]

Burt>>Dugan

Dugan is having an ankle operation next week.

well done to the guys selected. Maybe Shillo is the only one who may make the final squad. But TBH Tilse has played better than him over the season.

For the record , I like Burt Id have him in my team well before Hayne.

For the record , I like Burt Id have him in my team well before Hayne.

That's probably why Burt has all those Origin jerseys and earns three times as much as Hayne.

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Both Dugan and Fensom are having post season operation and are unavailable for this squad selection.

 

[raiders fan forever]

both would of been there for sure

Dugan finally getting his pimple removed?

 

[Pete Cash]

Dugan's dad Ricky mustn't be one of the selectors.

Hayne > Dugan.

:lol::lol:

You two are absolute dullards. Considering you obsessed maniacs watch every Raiders game you would understand that Dugan has been playing the year out with a pretty bad injury and has opted to get surgery as quickly as possible.

Pete cash = troll bait from way back

 

[Cryptic]

Shillington was terrible earlier this year but improved a lot when he came back from injury... Honestly I doubt any of them will be there come the final squad...

As for Croker... I don't know.... How much was him going downhill and how much was just him not having the support out there... A lot of the tries down that side were due to us being outnumbered there and that's just shit communication... Either way though I don't think he was up for a rep selection... Maybe there are a lack of centres in the bottom eight teams, or goal kickers...

 

[skeepe]

I still think Croker is a good defender, but he was let down time and again by his winger this year - both Vidot and Robinson were awful in defence this year. This in turn affected his confidence, leading to a sub-standard attacking performance.

Just my opinion.

I sincerely hope we sign an outside back though - or give Drury Low a run - because I simply don't think Robinson is good enough.

Josh Papalii just made Kiwis train on squad along with Bronson

 

[shear_joy9]

bronson is just lucky he's a nice guy. He should have been playing in the canberra raiders cup going by his form this season.

 

[Cryptic]

Papalii however is going great and deserves the spot... He also deserves Harrisons run on spot but that's another story...

 

[supera]

croker. lol.

symptomatic of our problems this season - erratic, unimaginative, crap passer, ordinary defender and a liability against the (huge) modern centre.

I recently commented that he would, at best, be battling for a bench spot at most other nrl clubs - this doesn't change my mind...

 

[Gaseous Clay]

Croker is sitting by the phone, anxiously waiting for the call to confirm he is the goal kicking, starting centre for the Kangaroos.


Seriously though, why name players that have 0 chance of making the squad - is it some type of encouragement thing? More like a piss take if you ask me. I'd be ashamed and embarrassed if I was Croker.
