Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I'm surprised people think we've given up on Danny Walker and are genuinely looking to sign Paix or Billy **** Walters. [emoji23] Walker has just finished his season, has made it quite clear he wants to sign for the Raiders and his club is just after the biggest transfer fee they can get for him. O...

Re: Warrington Wolves rebuff Canberra Raiders interest in hooker Danny Walker

One thing that isn't photoshopped is the size of Nsemba. He's a freak Just re-signed with Wigan until 2030. Now that would have been a good signing If he is any good he will come to the NRL before then. Another example of super league clubs signing players on long term deals in the hope of transfer...

Re: Canberra linked with Leo Thompson

He'd be a good signing, but I think he would come at a cost. If he is on $350k at the Knights (as stated in that link), I think he would demand circa $600k. Thoughts? 600k would be good value. Depends how he feels about Canberra. We need a leader of the pack after Taps and he is a few years ahead o...

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly looking at Brisbane Broncos hooker Cory Paix

Starling isn't much better than Levi, if at all. I'd be getting rid of both of them.

Paix as a backup, I don't see him as a downgrade on Starling and he'd be cheaper. If they could get rid of Starling and Levi and get Walker and Paix it would be good business all round.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly looking at Brisbane Broncos hooker Cory Paix

Doesn't seem a great deal to it, but it may add a bit of pressure on Walker's manager to get a deal done. Agree that Walker, Starling, Pattie is much likely a stronger position for us moving forward than Levi, Starling, Woolford. Sent from my CPH2021 using Tapatalk Strong arming the Walker camp - I...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2024

I don't mind the Gutho call. He'd be good for us. I see him as a centre/wing option though. He'd be a good guy for standards and training hard which is important given our young players. He's been in big games and from all reports is a good guy. Price would have to be right though.
