Changes have been rung in as per usual in 2nd half of 1st week of trials. Lots of lesser likes. Probabaly cant read too much into whats gone on as raiders have gone out to 28-0 with 10 to go. Story of the game was our halves were poor in the red zone, kicked poorly, put us under pressure and raiders...

45th- Barnstorming run from clarke who is still left side, just short, sets up fast play the ball for seve who bardges over and loses it over the line. Raiders almost go the length off the turnover and score a cpl plays later. Missed conversion
12- 0.

I really like the look of Peel, Leo, Satrick and especially Clarke (he looks ready, chuck him in Craig!) If he keeps up same for remainer of this game, or even if he's done for the day....if we are fair dinkum and we want to keep a culture of hard work, team first and effort, dont give up, he's put...

35mins-Raiders just score down the right flank after winger jammed in creating overlap. Whats more impressive is cooper clarke covers from.3rd man in, almost makes a tackle on the touchline and chases the winger 20m into the in goal and makes a last ditch tackle attempt. He's convinced me. We've got...

Raiders in quenbeyan. Might as well provide a running commentary for those unable to finish work early.... 20mins in raiders score on the final tackle through a nicely executed grubber to the winger. Conversion missed from touch. 4-0. Not much storm could of done better to defend that. Other than th...

Lisati left, clarke right

Congrats to trent leading the side out today as skipper

Not sure how I feel about it if...

The more I've watched jack he seems to be built for the 2nd row but I think he's defence would be a bit of a problem there, you've just got to be so fit and so good with your tackle efficiency. I can just picture some lapses under fatigue. I think if he does spend time there this season it won't be...

Due to missing rd1 with suspension I'd say.

It’s curious when you look at the players that are missing from the trials, is this the round 1 side plus a certain someone? 1. Fa’alogo 2. Coates 3. 4. Meaney 5. Warbrick 6. Munster 7. Hughes 8. Utoikamanu 9. Grant 10. King 11. Blore 12. Howarth 13. Kamikamika 14. Wishart 15. MacDonald 16. Pahulu ...

if Cooper Clarke go's alright in the trial, wouldn't mind seeing him getting a start rd1 just while loiero's out so he gets a taste. Watched some highlights today- powerful thing.

Was also surprised for the extra two years for Craig, making it three years. Recently he has only been doing one year extensions. You would think end of 2028 would be it for Craig. Yep. I rekon they've had the chat and put a plan in place for succession with the 2/3. Almost certain this will be it ...

Surprising news before the weekend Craig Bellamy re signs for 2 more years The timing late on a Friday afternoon before trials have even started, is intriguing. Maybe they want to take out the Storm coaching issue when talking with potential 2027 recruits. Wander if some uncertainty there cost them...
