It's interesting.

The Raiders obviously play the Roosters this Friday night, I think.

And Ethan Strange was once a Roosters junior.

Did you know him from up that way?

Yeah, right.

Are you surprised that the Raiders let go their recruitment manager, Joel Carbone?

He's gone to the Roosters, right, on decent money, and they've let Daniel Anderson go.

Obviously, they know a lot, the Roosters, and they know how well Carbone's done down there in Canberra.

Yeah, there's a bit of history there with Robbo and Ricky over the years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Very good.

Let's finish off on the Rabbits because they've had three losses in the last four games.

They take on Manly on Thursday night at Brookie, and they get Brandon Smith, Campbell Graham, and David Fafita back, still without Luttrell and Jack Whiten.

Yeah.

Had the same injuries last year too.

You know Wayne Bennett very well.

And obviously, what's he thinking?

He's thinking they're sitting sixth.

They promised a lot.

Is this part of the plan, do you think, or is he a little worried?
