Would be Dally M of the year for me if he hadn't of taken the early guilty plea for the team. Guy seems to be getting better and better. His combo with both Whitehead and Papa just makes the raiders look so dangerous across the park.

Speaking of Dally M, surely Stuart will get Coach of the Year. Love to bag him after he recent stints (Sharks/Eels) but he's turned the club around so quickly without any 'star' players recruited. Still hard to believe they are playing at this level week in week out

As much as I hate to give Ricky credit, the Raiders are looking great. Agree on Hodgson, Tapine has been a great pick-up, and Whitehead has to be just about the buy of the year. Sezer too, quietly effective: great foil for the other players. Unpopular but correct decision to drop Fensom.

Attack doesn't win finals football, and I worry if their halves can step up to control tight games, but I would love to see them win. They are fantastic to watch.

Rapana and hodgson keeping the dream alive!

I reckon they can mate. Tbh, I don't think we've seen the best out of Sezer yet and that man can control a game. And if Williams steps up a bit more then they can go deep I think. And they still have Austin to come back.

Looks like they're picking up a few injuries and Wighton trying to make sure he doesn't play next week tho.

Ennis got off so no doubt Wighton will as well... Inconsistent bullshit.

Neither deserve to get off but I agree, if Ennis did then for sure Wighton should.

While Charlie Gubb gets 7 weeks

Is that one NZ commenatator slysdexic or what? Who the fuck are Bevan Finch, Semi Ranrandra and Semi Rajaradra?

Gallen gets 75 points and I'm like YEA GO THE PODS only for Mannering to get a bloody double. The one year I don't have him

Ah fuck and Bodene's gone for the game. Oh well it just wasn't my year this year. Oh and Gallen's 75 was last week but still big mistake buying him over Manners a month or two ago

Is these Mannerings first tries for the year?

welp bodenes eneded me

He tried to pronounce Tuimoala, couldn't, so just referred to him at Tui Lolohea

Looks like PODene is gone for the game

They're like his 4th and 5th tries for the year

The Hodgson suspension was a bit of a different one, all about the team not individual. He could have taken early guilty plea, kept his 3 DallyM's and played for a chance at more but would have had high carryover points meaning one little charge could cost him 2+ weeks. Takes the suspension without a early plea or going to judiciary and therefor no carryover points

Simon saysDOES

I should have put the C on him and not Hayne

wow Bevan French 18 tries in 13 games!!! Surely that puts him ahead of Vunuvalis 22 in 18 games

haha make that 19 in 13

This is what I was referring to Shanbon. The guy is proper selfless. Put his team before the accolade, mad respect. Couple that with the quality of player he is and you could almost have a bromance blossoming!

Semi can do all things!

Nice conversion!

Interesting stat that SJ has 0 kicking metres tonight, I know his quad is buggered but even still...

Can anyone dig up our predictions of the ladder that we made at the start of the year. I cannot find it.

Edit - found it in the league thread. Good for a giggle into our Nostradamus abilities
