I heard a rumor today there was a bit of unrest between some NSW players due to some of the indigenous players not singing the national anthem. Walker, Carr and Latrell were a bit lost out there last night and lacked communication amongst the team. Can see how they can see this being related Sent f...

Sorry but the elephant in the room is why bring another centre in to create competition when it is shown that Croker is untouchable and we already have Cotric applying pressure on BJ’s position.

It sounds like another pointless recruitment. We need front rowers above all else at the moment.

LastRaider

Let Jack walk at that price. He was rocks and diamonds all year and only played a handful of good games (in the finals I admit)

LastRaider

Anyone concerned about Cotric wanting to move on next year as he won’t get the centre position now?

LastRaider

What excuses the NRL breaking their own contract deadline to allow Jarryd Hayne to join the Titans? I can't imagine what can possibly excuse it. There is absolutely no reason to treat the return of Jordan Rapana differently to the return of Mark Gasnier. They wanted those players back under any cir...

Sam has his haters but I loved how we played the game and followed his dream to play in the NRL.

Russell Crow was the only person who would give him ago and Sam stayed loyal to him for it. I hope he finds a career after NRL.

LastRaider

I’m shocked, I thought Rapana would be staying and BJ moving on. Looks like BJ got the nod

LastRaider

What an absolute farce giving us, the grand finalist the opening 6pm game on Friday.

Yep, NRL still hates us!

LastRaider

As captain, sit down all the players and ask them if they want to win premierships or more money.

If they want premierships, tell them to all pull their heads in and take what’s on offer and not push the club to amounts they can’t afford

LastRaider

Yes, I concur the low point was losing the grand final. Probably the lowest point was Tedesco running into score the winner.

LastRaider

Getting the same problem

LastRaider

I’m confident about Bateman staying not so much Wighton. Some of the bottom 8 teams have a bit in reserve available in the cap which worries me. They could go big and with the amount of international players in our team, our cap might be too tight to match an aggressive offer. I’m confident Jack wil...

Nah couldn’t make the nine’s squad

LastRaider

I hope we're not picking up more than $100k of his salary...but I guess it all comes down to what the ultimate cost and opportunities are with other players. I hope he plays on to a high level, but that whole ruptured vertibra issue was a concern. I think it's 150k, Seiff. Pretty sure his current d...

LastRaider

Yeah I think his brother is there.

I think the Dragons will perform much better next year. They signed Shane Flanagan as assistant coach but he will be basically running the show. They were also quite disrupted with the off field stuff ie. Jack De Berlin saga this year

LastRaider

Got word last night that Dragons are keen on BJ for next year.

Sort of indicates to me there might be a Lomax/BJ swap deal

LastRaider

I think Croker needs to be added to that list with Sezer and Rapana at some point, whether that's now or next season, as much as his staunch supporters don't want to hear it. That's three players easily identified who are on decent coin, yet could be replaced without much effect. We've done this al...

Jack is a great player but he isn’t the most important cog in the green machine. I’d have Papa, Hodgo, and Bateman ahead of him in terms of priority signing/key players. The $1m players are the most important number 1 players at a club - Taumololo, Cronk, DCE. In terms of value for another club Jac...

LastRaider

I think the following players would be potential to walk out on there current deal to come to Canberra to win a premiership

Shaun Johnson
Adam Reynolds
Anthony Milford
Mitchell Pearce
Cody Walker

Almost all good halves who crave a premiership would become available if Jack left IMO

LastRaider

Well id argue pretty strongly if im Jack's representation, that the Munster deal is the STARTING point of my negotiations. Jack has all the leverage here, and he'll get a deal he's happy with because i dont think the club has the stones to let him walk The only leverage the Raiders have here is a c...

LastRaider

I would class Cameron Munster as a far better 5/8 and he resigned for $800k a season

LastRaider

Did you see the video? Nelson is like the Hulk, a towering machine going for it. Incredible scene at least 8 blokes got KO

LastRaider

I'm not sure that's what he's on - it's what the extension option was, and I think it was a raise on what he's currently on. I'm pretty sure the club has been roundly bagged over the past few seasons for the type of money they were paying him to play fullback. Those were the numbers bandied around....

He won’t get it. It feels like Blake Austin all over again at the end of 2016.

DFJ said earlier this year that he wanted to assure Raiders fans that he was spending the entire salary cap. Since then we have signed Gwilliams. If we are to increase payment to JB and Jack then some familiar faces will have to go. I would move Young on but that won't release much cap space. Who e...

LastRaider

$750k is about where the value is for Jack I’m sorry to say. He still has a lot to work on in his game. He was very rocks and diamonds all year, no real consistency. 2017, 2018 where not the best years for him and this year he has only started to play better. If we can’t match the offers Let him go,...

LastRaider

And here we go, Raiders won’t make another grand final Beyond 2020+ now for quite a few years.

Greed takes over as always. Players won’t sacrifice to stay together to win premierships instead would prefer to be paid more and be in losing teams.

Next thing is, Croker will want something ridicules!

LastRaider

Season done!

LastRaider

thanks for the reply. i'm surprised there is no cap at all. Essentially with the $9+ million for the salary cap for players, the TPAs could bump that up several million dollars if there were "sponsors" willing to help. Yes, indeed. The last figures provided by the NRL... which was dragged out them ...

LastRaider

does anyone know what the cap for TPA's are in total? There isn’t a cap, a player can earn as much as they want for paid promotional activities however the NRL is cracking down on it. In the past, sponsors would sign a TPA and advise that the player just has to post x amount of instagrams etc, as t...

LastRaider

Yep, our defensive line was a shambles after the dud call and the Roosters exploited it well. Blaming a single player for the situation is Bull. I'm just pleasantly surprised that Croker wasn't somehow blamed for it this time. Haha remember how Billy Walker and his boys continually told us Croker w...

LastRaider

Williams needs to be re-signed. He’s the best back up half in the NRL. Surely if Sezer gets an offer from the Broncos or Bulldogs, he takes it even if it is a little less money. His value will drop dramatically if he spends the whole season at Mounties. We need to keep one of Sezer or Williams at l...
