lol, can't believe we won that.

Still not sure about FB. I thought Abbey looked pretty good when he came on tonight. CHK looked ok too.

SeeBee101

I don't mind the VC BUT it should take place after both teams are on the field. I seriously don't understand why the Raiders never gets to witness it on the field. I think it would pump them up!

SeeBee101

The thing is last year i noticed that we were going 80 -100m most sets but so we're our opposition, our defence needs to improve so they only go 50m a set. And if we grind out then we would get the biscuits Without at least 1 big forward, I think are going to get dominated in the ruck. Look at the ...

Really surprised that Oldfield wasn't picked in this squad. You would think it would a good chance to see CHK/Simmonson/Abbey/Oldfield in the FB and wing positions to decide which one to run with....

Looks like we are signing Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad from the Warriors. According to his instagram posts he said thanks to the Warriors for giving him a chance and he cannot wait for this new opportunity.

Ata said see you soon....

Sigh, no FB for us then....

Maybe the rumours of Simmonson getting first crack may be true?
Where did this rumour come from?

Haha, Facebook, so it's probably a load a crap...

I said on another post that I think we should be looking at Jennings. Abbey should NOT be anywhere near the first team this season regardless of injuries....

Rapa will be back round 13 so we get the salary cap relief. He has also played a few games at FB for raiders. Last time in 2015 - there was an article where he said it’s his favoured position.

Am I the only one who thought that Tapine was pretty average playing in the middle? He only excelled once he moved to 2nd row where he could dominate opposition centres and halves.

SeeBee101

I hope so, getting very worried that we are done with recruitment. Surely we still need another backup winger and a spine player (5/8 or FB)....

What's the bet we run with Abbey at FB :-S

SeeBee101

Anyone heard that Simonsson might get first crack at FB? The rumour came from FB but from what i've seen of him, I wouldn't mind if he gets a go in the trials.

SeeBee101

I'm actually starting to think that something else is going to happen and I say that because there is talk about that 7's winger (I should learn his name) being a red hot chance at being there R1. Then there has been talk of Oldfield training strongly and he looks like he's in career best shape as ...

Panther really are the team we need to be talking to. They have about 8 players in their squad that would be an upgrade on Williams. Halves: Cleary, Maloney, May, Liu, Coleman Fullbacks: DWZ, Edwards, Aekins Now obviously some are no chance of leaving the Panthers but a guaranteed start in First Gr...

I haven't seen anything from Murchie in either ISP or NRL that shows him to be exceptional. Looks pretty bog average to me. I just don't see him progressing into the 17 at all this year.

I would get rid of Murchie to keep the redhead any day of the week.

This club never ceases to amaze me with their incompetence. Should have millions in cap space but alas we have blown it on god knows who.

If Abbey starts in the starting 13 for round 1 (fb or wing), we might as well have the spoon...

As long as Tapine stays out wide I'm happy

Agreed - Tapine had his best season in the 2nd row. Wouldn't move him at all. I also think the best setup is for Whitehead to be starting lock with Bateman in the other 2nd row spot.

SeeBee101

We should be hitting Dufty up hard now that Norman has moved to the Dragons. A spine like this is pretty solid:

1. Dufty
6. Wighton
7. Sezer
9. Hodgo

Now that Rapana is injured the chances of Wighton to 6 now look slim as I don't want Abbey anywhere near first grade.

SeeBee101

With the way we recruit, we will probably be left with Jeff Robson (if he is still going around)

SeeBee101

I think Niko would be a pretty good pickup. Statistics don't look too bad for last season: Tries: 10 T/A: 13 LB: 12 TB: 46 How is his defence? He was also one of NZ's best during the recent tests... Ranks equal 10th for halves for missed tackles (2.7 per match). Maloney misses six. Ranks equal 13th...

Just fwiw wingers would definitely get paid more than centre these days in general and fair enough too. Think that's dependant on team. On an open market Vinuvalu and Addo-Carr would get more than either of the storm centres. But you'd pay WAY more for Lat Mitchell over anything the roosters are fl...

SeeBee101

Releasing Holmes though, the Sharks have a fair bit of coin to play with. I know the talk was of $800K plus for his next contract but surely he didn't sign for that much at the start of 2017. Anyone have a ballpark for what his current deal is worth? Still can’t understand how Cronulla are able to ...

Why would we get another player just as bog average as Sezer or Williams? People must have short memory of when Flanagan hooked him in the 2016 final against us at Bruce.

SeeBee101

The explanation of what he did sounds a lot worse than what I just watched. Pretty piss weak in the end really.

I'd say his punishment fits the crime. Jacky boi continues to get paid..

So, lets get this straight, Donny comes out and denies we are after him.

Then a couple hours later another article is released on NRL.com with two of our most senior players discussing how good a player Johnson is and how he would compliment the team...

What...is...happening....?!?

2nd page. Tyres deflated.. Let's move on to the next rumour. What a glorious 24 hours.... It was such a nice change to at least be mentioned in the conversation of a quality half... Lol, I was going to say that as well. At least we were actually linked to a big name NRL player for the first time in...

Terrible in defence. Needs another 20kgs of muscle. As a last line to defend our try line I have no faith in him with his current physical state. He would be flat out wrestling a lettuce leaf from a salad let alone an NRL footballer determined to score a try. I'd rather Reece Robinson as our last l...

Liu is a 17-21 player. I hope we are not starting with him next year....

SeeBee101

Williams has a good footy brain, but he always seems to be not fast enough/big enough to break through the line.

Ricky better be lining up Wighton or another half to be that solution next year, otherwise its over before it's started.

SeeBee101

Still doesn't matter. These guys would be offered an opportunity to be in the first 13, unlike the Knights and Titans where they would be considered as back-up only....

SeeBee101

Wow, so we can't even get Jacks or Mann when we are essentially offering a starting 5/8 position.

These players are going to other clubs to play ISP!?! **** is wrong with this club
