Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
Can't deny the kid has talent but I get the impression that he is a bit entitled, and our recent acquisitions suggest that we're more interested in signing blokes who are workers both off and on the field. I think it's a strategy that is working and is one we should persevere with

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders
700k for strange is no where near as crazy as throwing 700k at Nico hines.. who was in his mid 20s with less than 20 first grade games to his name. Strange has exceeded expectations. If we don't extend him we run a serious risk of losing him. Not a risk I'd want to take

Re: Parramatta Eels still hoping to hold onto Raiders target Ethan Sanders
I disagree colk. You point to our lack of star power as an indication that our future is bleak, and dismiss the prospect that we have 3 of the most promising junior spine players in our roster as any sign we will improve. Presumably you think the club should have signed better, experienced players, ...

As far as I'm concerned he can go forge a career someplace else. At some point we need to say enough is enough.

Sanders fits in reggies for as long ad he takes to overtake fog. The best thing we can do is get him in and give him time to mature his game.

The others are untested and as such, could turn out to be anything. Obviously hoping they will kick on, but its anyone...

If Canberra have paid him even 100k more than minimum wage it’s an absolute disaster. And I’d bet they’ve severely, severely overpaid. Gee whiz mate.

Agree with thisRuben Daley wrote: ↑December 14, 2023, 9:02 am Solid signing but doesn't get the heart racing.
He'll be a great signing if we add a higher calibre second-rower to the team as well. Hudson, Whitehead, Hosking and Luciano/similar player fighting for two starting and one bench spot would be great for depth and competition.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023
So my predictions of signings are that we will pick up leilua for 24 (once a call is made for chn) and both junior Tupou and sanders for 25.
If that is how it plays out, that's not a bad haul

True, but its clear where this is heading. The sooner this call gets made the better. As disappointed as it is to see him go out this way, I'd prefer this than to have a reoccurrance of his episode... id find it really hard to watch him play again as I'd be terrified for his welfare

CHN at his best was a good hole running 2nd rower, that relys on having decent play makers. He didn't really have a lot else in his game.
