Really happy to see Tuivita back. He has recovered from his ankle injury and has the right attitude to make it into the NRL side immediately. He showed it during cup this week when the opposition made a linebreak (due to our RM winger being shit) and Tuivita was the only one that fully sprinted in cover. He managed to catch up to the support player so he was marked and allowed Twiddle to make the tackle on the person with the ball. Was over 50meters as well so not a short distance. Was impressive speed and great attitude from the young bloke.
With that mindset is how he debuted in Round 1 straight from Flegg. Plus, he could well and truly be our starting Prop by the end of 2026.
That's a decent side, I'm glad big Sam is back, we definitely need him, also think Simonson needs to be at centre, and samarina in the 2nd row.
also Ethan Martin has signed with the north Sydney Bears. Has been named on the wing this week.
definitely not in JR plans
Hope Moses and Moretti are back next week - as I will be attending the game. I'm 2/11 at Canberra. The weather will not help Moses recovery ( cold weather ) but my best mates a Raiders supporter - and I won't to avoid the spoon at all costs!!
Ive liked what ive seen from Hunter in cup hes not the finished product but hes over taken Lynn and it could be possible that the club want him to play as much cup as possible then a pre season to shoot his shot at 6 with Volkman Joash Hawkins all competing for it
How's Volkman going?
I recon Volkman will go SL when his contract expires. Cannot see him reaching the next level to make it in the NRL.
Hunter is the most naturally gifted of these players. He left Cowboys because Jaxon Purdue was selected ahead of him. As juniors they were regarded as equal. So far he has been injury free which is a plus. My preference is that he now goes back to Jersey Flegg so he qualifies for the final so they can win. I see for the Parramatta club learning to win is what we need from our players. He has shown already that he is cabable of playing against the bigger bodies in reserves. We lost the reserves last week because we allowed 5 tries down one side.
Lorenzo is even more talented than Hunter. Not convinced on Hunter yet. But he has progressed heaps this year. Needs a lot of work on his defence which Ik is true for most young halves. But I love how Hunter is always willing to take the line on with his running game. Surprisingly breaks tackles for a bloke not that big. Got a good short passign game with his backrower too.
