If Leilua leaves, that’ll mean Cotric to centres and Simonsson to the wing. With Harley Smith-Shields and some other quality backline prospects in our system, Leilua leaving will only open the door for some hungry young talents. I don’t mind the decision

With the club likely to look towards retention for the 2020 season, I think the clubs best 17 is already mostly at the club. But one player I’ve wanted us to sign before and still strongly believe we should go after is Lachlan Timm from the Dragons. He’s a young Queensland prop and has played above ...

The reason TJP has only signed a one year extension is because of his close relationship with Wayne Bennett. I wouldn’t be surprised to see TJP follow Bennett, if Wayne is to be picked up as the coach of another NRL club in 2020. Raiders should firm as a likely destination for Tevita, but a lot can ...

If we have no money to spend on big names (I’d love TJP, but it’s unlikely he will leave the Bronx) then we should be looking at Queensland Cup/NSW cup level who can push onto the NRL. Not every player is going to come through like a prodigous talent and be ready for the rigours of NRL. But at the m...

I’m not 100% sure what his status for 2019 is, but young prop Lachlan Timm should seriously be looked at. The Storm announced that he won’t be a part of the squad next year. He’d cost sweet all and he’s got some real mongrel about him. We’re missing some power in the middle and this is a young kid w...

Clay Priest Position: Prop Former Raider Clay Priest won’t be sticking around at the Bulldogs in 2019 and if we can get him for cheap, I’d bring him in to play a starring role for the Mounties. Whether he can come into our best 17 would then be up to his performances. Luke Yates Position: Lock Yates...

Mbiec

Brock Lamb Position: Halves This one is a bit of a stretch, with Lamb sure to look for a pay rise. I’d advise against signing him for anything near the kind of money he’s probably after, but if we could lure him with the 6 jersey, he might just sign on for less than his market jersey. I’ll take Lamb...

Nathan Davis Position: CTW A big, rangey centre with the ability to play anywhere in the back 5, as well as the halves at a stretch (For Mounties, never for the Raiders) Nathan strikes me as a real threat in the backline, who with the right guidance could really become something quite special. Howev...

Justin Olam Position: CTW Justin is an incredibly gifted footballer with the ability to play on both sides of the field. The PNG international has played a handful of games for the Storm this season, but going forward I don’t think he will feature as heavily in 2019. If the Storm are prepared to let...

Lewis Brown Position: HK/CTR/SR Let me make this clear, I would not be offering a rich contract to Lewis. He’s not someone we need to break the bank for, but his utility value is a major reason why I believe we should try and acquire his services. His preferred position is in the back row, where we ...

Been looking into a few players that could add something to the club on cheap coin. Obviously our cap is in dire straits, so this is a more realistic look at some names we could recruit that can be of value 1 Lachlan Timm Position: Prop This kid is NRL quality without any doubt in my mind. He’s stil...

We've just dined Soliva Havilii, whose the current Tongan dummy half and has spent time at the Dragons and the Warriors. He hasn't set the world on fire in first grade, but realistically with where the clubs salary cap is, this is one of the best signings we could've gotten. I've seen him play all t...

Mbiec

Peter Mata'utia would be a really handy depth player. Could play anywhere in the back five and although he wouldn't be in our first team straight away, I'm sure he'd rather be anywhere but the Knights. Chanel would be the second best option as he'd be super cheap and he can definitely find the line....

Mbiec

Spent the day watching some footy and have a few more potential signings. Sandor Earl Should be free to play by September. Play him at the Mounties for 2017 and then let him rip in with a full pre season under his belt. I'd be very comfortable with Sandor, Oldfield and Ottio covering out back 5. Jar...

All signs point to Paulo for mine if this rumour is in fact true. Seen a few names listed and none of them match the description like Paulo does. Crichton won't leave the Bunnies when he's starting on an edge for them and playing 80 minutes. Would he be afforded that same luxury at the Roosters with...

Mbiec

If Paulo does want to leave, why don't we do a swap deal and try and get Nathan Brown, whose on next to nothing at Parra. We could pay him less than we pay Junior and we should be able to afford another prop signing. I'd be keeping some cash aside for the post season, as player movements are sure to...

@Mbiec, I love the work your have gone to. Nice job. Ive seen Olam and Opacic (incl. the game you mentioned at AAMI park) play. I agree these 2 would be very handy, esp Opacic. However, I would have liked to see these 2 made prior to Oldfield coming. Lawerance I thought had told us to get knicked c...

Only player the Raiders should consider shedding one of their halves for is James Maloney. ): is a winner and every team he's played with his made the grand final.

Brenton Lawrence Not even 100 games into his injury interrupted, late blooming career, the 32 year old has been playing decent football for a Sea Eagles side on the rise. I'm fairly sure Brenton actually played a chunk of his junior footy at the Raiders, so it would be a homecoming of sorts at the b...

Mbiec

True. I think he should be suffice with Kato and Michael Oldfield clearly in front of him in the pecking order. My second half focuses more on forward recruiting, which is where the club really needs to look. A lot of serviceable big men on the market for cheap. Peter Mullholland has a great knack f...

Lol and nathan a Keary for the Panthers. And Dylan Edwards. And I named Braidon Burns. Fml

Luke Sharpe I watched him play for Wyong on the weekend against the Newtown Jets and although he lacks size, I like what I see from him at fullback. The Roos are well on top of the Intrust Super Premiership where familiar names such as Mitchell Cornish and Nat Butcher are playing starring roles. On...

I've done a full 18 players that we could look at. I'll post it in two halves to break it up, !74 there are some genuine options here. Obviously we don't have to sign them all, but each player fills a position and all of them are either dirt cheap or they are gun players that still wouldn't break th...

Great pass from Austin. Loving the combination of Austin + Sezer playing on the same side. Excellent offload from Papalii and a sweet finish from Lee. Good to see the boys in front

That 2 points came off the back of a very poor drop ball from Rapana. Not sure how I feel about Jordy playing over Waqa, but I'll back him to make amends as this match goes on.

Mbiec

Glad to see Brenko in the team. I am genuinely confident that the Raiders will win this one. Major danger man for the team will be Tyrone Peachey. He's an absolute weapon and massively underrated in my opinion.
