Things just happen around him.

Well, they're sitting at 12th.

So they're not in panic stations yet, but I think they're very similar to the Bulldogs this year.

I think there's just a lot of expectation on them.

Minor Premiership last year, I think they went into this year with a relatively young squad, besides their old forward pack.

And I just think that this year, the expectation's just gone through the roof.

I still think they can make the eight, but it's not looking great at the moment.

But if they can start stringing some wins together when they get a few boys back after Origin, hopefully we can see them scrape into the eight.

It's good to see Owen Paddy back as well.

Yeah, he's playing a lot of Cup this year.

A few of them have started the year in Cup.

I can see Ricky's logic trying to get him some time in New South Wales Cup, but I really did think him and Starlow sort of benefited each other a bit last year in terms of the attack from the middle.

It was pretty good.

Raiders done for you?

There's a few teams like that, though.

I'm just looking at it now.

Actually, it's not giving me much confidence.

So underneath the Raiders, you've got Parramatta, Melbourne and the Dogs.

And then on top of them, you've got Brisbane, the Tigers and North Queensland.

So they're sitting at 12th.
