Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Just read a report that Jack Welsby has secretly agreed to St Helen’s extensions. Reading between the lines, nothing has been signed.

I’d be putting serious money on the table to make signing a little more harder.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

Welsby is a must. A once in a generation player for England.

I’d actually play him in the halves if he signed.

A club outside of Sydney highly suggest us imo. But I’m not sure I trust the Mole mail.

As a NSW fan, what I respect about the QLD culture is the mongrel they motivated their players to bring.

I’m not sure who Kaeo Weekes, he could be a complete dumpster fire. But in our situation, you’re betting on youth over a journeyman.

Weekes is young and has wraps from a few manly pundits. I could get behind it.

You can get a vibe pretty early on in a players career if they have what it takes to make it. Most of it comes down to their ability in defence and positioning.

No question Young is a good player and this is good news. But he really needs to go back to basics to regain form.
