Re: 2024 in review - Adam Cook
I noticed Adam Cook has been removed from the Raiders website. Perhaps a sign he is moving on?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024
The list of potential targets across the NRL is about three players. Not that there is, but if there ever was a legitimate chance to sign him they should. No reason why we shouldn't be a chance to sign him. The mail is that Roosters are moving in a different direction and other clubs aren't in the ...

Re: Hohepa Puru joins the Sharks
Best of luck to him. I really hope he makes it as a regular NRL player. I do think he deserved more of a go at the Raiders but it would've been even tougher next year with players like the Myles and Noah Martin also coming into the squad.

Re: Canberra Raiders linked with Newcastle Knights prop Leo Thompson
The Daily Telegraph. The Knights have tabled a revised upgrade and extension to Thompson which he discussed with his management over the weekend. Thompson has been focused on Test commitments with New Zealand, meaning his contract negotiations have been put on the back-burner but they are set to ram...

Re: Canberra Raiders linked with Newcastle Knights prop Leo Thompson
He is at a totally different level to Ata and Mooney. Horse maybe you can argue is on par if he puts two decent years together back to back. Realistically he is as good a signing as the Raiders can make, and even having a crack at an established NRL player is now very rare. They really need to get t...

They didn’t say it was about money, more that he just wasn’t that big on the Knights. Seemed like just speculation though.

Re: Canberra Raiders linked with Newcastle Knights prop Leo Thompson
They seemed to think Knights would struggle to keep him.
I think been told your basically the new Papa could be a big thing for him, considering he was at the club when Papa was at his absolute peak.

Not a huge update but on James Graham’s podcast Brent Read mentions Raiders, Dolphins and Dogs as the clubs after Thompson. His wife is from Canberra which might be in our favour.

Some talk in the SMH that a Rookie draft will come in with expansion with maybe 1 rookie per team quarantined.
Supposedly been discussed by the pathways steering committee, which is made up of representatives from the struggling clubs of the Storm, Brisbane, Panthers and Roosters.

Re: Hohepa Puru exploring a move to Cronulla Sharks
His running game is his strength and I thought improved a lot this year. He has good footwork and is quick, which is more transferable across grades than if youre relying on strength. Pretty sure he doesn’t get picked because he misses too many tackles for Ricky. Which isn’t unreasonable if he was c...

I don't think anyone sane would compare him to Tapine.
Still, when he won back to back Meninga medals I don't think saying he was a good player is a "narrative".

Re: Canberra Raiders re-sign Peter Taateo on two year deal
Not a bad extension. Don’t think he will make a lot of appearance's in the NRL in that time but he should be a bit like Hola was, fine in an emergency with some upside. Entertaining to watch in cup as well.

Re: 2024 in review - Simi Sasagi
Yeah, he needs to learn to defend. I was surprised he played as many games as he did when Ricky is supposed to have these high defensive standards for first graders.
Decent utility if he does fix it though. There was a glimpse of that at the end of the year.

Re: Raiders withdraw interest in signing Danny Walker
I don't think the transfer fee requested is that outrageous tbh. It's a current English international with 2 years to run on his deal, I think Warrington is entitled to ask for a fair whack. If the club has to find 300k a year to bring over a player like him it's money well spent. Anyway, hopefully ...
