Marquee player values over past five years
If we said 5 years we had over a million dollars to offer a marquee player, we would almost have the pick of the league to lure any star player to Canberra in any position and not have too much competition. Today we have the same sort of money to lure a replacement for a spine player and can't seem ...

Re: Raiders offer Jack Wighton a four year $4.4 million deal
Wighton is as good as gone. He has tested the market and knows his $$ value in the market now. We have offered an increase which would be in line with any other offer out there. Dolphins would have to have their salary cap out of whack if they offer more. If he hasn't taken the Raiders deal by now h...

Isn't Bennett only coaching for 2 years before handing the reins to Kristian Wolf? Dolphins aren't winning the comp next year, let's be honest and this will leave him with an inexperience NRL coach for the remainder of his contract. If he goes, then so be it.

Re: Jack Wighton targeted by Redcliffe, to test the open market for 2024
For my 2 cents, even with all the money in the world or even a $1.2 million a season, the Dolphins have shown that it is not that easy to land a marquee player particularly to Canberra, so I say just pay the money he is looking for and move on. He is a current SOO and Australian test player. If we c...

Havilli just signed 2 year deal.
i think it would mean Garvey is gone and potentially Havilli as backup lock/second row where he played on Saturday night from the bench.
Better option than Bateman IMO.

Re: NRL ladder predictor: Critical results for Raiders hopes
if you think you can predict the outcome of the next 40 games to be played then you are a genius!!!!
Ladder predictors are a great time waster and give hope to the hopeless.
All I know is the Raiders just need to keep on winning to give themselves any chance.

Reasonable signings IMO. Knight looms as the one with the most potential and likely to get 1st grade time.

Golden try for me. I think this encourages positive play rather than negative one off the ruck running to the posts for a field goal attempt.
