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...

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...

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,...

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...

That’s fine. Do a 15 minute set and extend half time to 25 minutes. It works in the NFL

LastRaider

As dangerous as BJ can be, he's got a lot of mistakes and on-field discipline issues that come with him. IMO this is something we need to fix, I don't realistically know how likely it is that we can do that, if we can't then the other option is to move him on. Whatever else he did in the GF, I thin...

My decision is more based on Cotric or BJ in centre for 2020. I give Cotric the edge as he has more discipline and can break tackles as good as BJ.

Cotric is wasted staying on the wing another season. He needs to get the ball more

LastRaider

I really hope BJ stays. I agree with Ruben's comments above. He represents the way we play - the X factor, unpredictability, aggression, offloads and unorthodox manner which quality teams like the Roosters and Melbourne dislike. I'd rather him than Curtis Scott, Chambers, Lomax, Marsters, Aitken, B...

After finding the courage to watch the replay, we played the perfect game. Our moment to take the game was undoubtedly the attack on the right side at the end of the sin bin period.

Yeah I think after reviewing the season I would like to see Rapana stay now and move on BJ. That way we have Cotric in centre and Rapana on the wing (good mix of experience) and Croker and Simmonson on the other. Settles the changes to just one and as they have played together in these positions ens...

I’m still pissed over that call. Yes we hadn’t scored prior but we were building pressure which is what grand final’s are about. It’s not about scoring of every set, it’s not how games are won.
