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.

      Lorenzo looks like the milf to me in his Canberra days. Humter is a lot like a young Moses. What I have seen in highlights.
