Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

lol Roosters offered $850,000 to Shaun Johnson for one year. Trying to sign everyone now. They will try to get Dylan Brown from Parra. Hope they haven’t approached him yet as you know what this means for us. Maybe Ponga to replace Tedesco if he retires after 2025. Glad Timoko has been tied up so the...

Re: Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart signs four-year contract extension

Ex-journalists should check the facts Dubby! We finished 15 out of 16 in 2014, 10 out of 16 in 2015. Same record of finals appearances as Brad Arthur (1 GF, 4 finals) in the 10 years.

Re: Canberra Raiders miss out on David Fifita

Imagine if he had informed us ! Still think it was correct to chase a talent like him though. I have vague memories he initially backflipped on the Titans as well to tell Brisbane he was staying, then changed his mind ! Sucked in the Roosters. Couldn't happen to a nicer club. If he really wanted a p...

Re: 'We definitely 1 million per cent want to keep Trey': Raiders keen for Mooney to stay

Mooney's dancing and carry on in the song celebration v Manly must have sealed the deal.

Look forward to seeing him celebrate Raiders' victory songs further.

We do have a good catchment area. The Riverina, Monaro areas contain quality juniors. We also need to align with other areas, like we did with Souths Logan. I agree.

Has the guy, in over 20 years of coaching, shown excellence in what he does ? He's not a top tier / elite coach but middling / average coach.

Why don’t they give him 2 years contingent on making top 4 in those 2 years to trigger an extension ?

Brisbane also got to play at home v Roosters a few weeks ago as their Vegas game was considered away. That's 12 home games for them (not counting games v Dolphins).
