I said "Likely" to finish outside the 8.
And you read the points table wrong.... And I have reading comprehension issues?
What I am getting at is , with you highlighting the Raiders supposed youth direction - you've shown how ridiculous the "Throw the juniors in and if they don't make it cut them and find more" theory of yours really is.
Surprise surprise the Raiders recruit and slowly promote juniors over years.
All clubs do this unless they have an absolute bluechip prospect.
When they going got tough Ricky most definitely demoted his juniors back to reserve grade.
and what dividends are the Raiders seeing exactly?
They've gone backwards on 2023, debuted less talent & have less talent in the pipeline than the Warriors.
They're 1 pt ahead of us and supposedly something good is happening? Really?
As per your list, with one extra, as you can see they recruit or drip feed.
