Maybe something else happened yesterday and we werent going to take the focus of that by naming a trial team

Do we wait for this weekends trials to be done ?

New Zealand Warriors set to sign Canberra Raiders back-rower Jack Murchie THE Warriors are close to signing Canberra back-rower Jack Murchie. "He is a good kid but we have a lot of experienced forwards ahead of him," a Raiders source said. "The way is blocked for him here. If the War...

Delisted all bar the 6.

"While Scott has pleaded not guilty to the charges, sources say Canberra will seriously consider ripping up his three-year contract should he be convicted of assaulting a police officer when he fronts court again on March 20." Interesting. I can't see that. I read that this morning too bu...

Not sure if already reported

Mago has secured a 1 year contract with Souths

Ok Men in Green. Don't get out on the grog tonight. Go home without incident and prepare for the 13 a side game. They were on the bus to their airport almost immediately by the looks.

This is what you want to hear , it doesnt just appear to be lip service.
He sounds genuine with his remorse. I can forgive young blokes making a mistake as long as they own it and want to learn from it.

LimeGreenMachine

Has to be a gee up News reports over the last week suggest he hasnt trained , seen specialists that have more or less indicated his League days are over , although Shark doctors have said otherwise. I cant see us even entertaining or anyone for that fact signing him becuase he is busted and his carr...

Article out now that the NRL will see the video footage in the coming days .

LimeGreenMachine

NRL will have to go off the police charge sheet and of course that is only one side of the story and isnt necessarily what happened.
Charges change , get dropped all the time , not saying it will but its not without the possibility

LimeGreenMachine

In other words pull your head in Toddy

LimeGreenMachine

His lawyers should tell Todd to shove it. If he sees it then he is forming judgement. There is no way he can not be. Can you imagine Todd watching it and then stands him down , the police prosecutor will let it be known to the courts that his employer the NRL stood him down after viewing the incident

LimeGreenMachine

Its odd that we are classed as one of the successful clubs
We didnt sign a top tier NRL player. Like Cronk or Arrow. We have recruited smartly and got some handy players from the UK . Gave fringe players a run.

Could we sign a marquee player , I doubt it . Maybe if we have another good year or two

LimeGreenMachine

MMM had an interview with TPJ. He was asked a question along the lines how tough has the pre-season been under Siebs .

His reply was its been tough , he had some tough preseasons with Ricky Stuart and this has been like that.

LimeGreenMachine

If the lawyers have seen the body cam vision they must be confident that he can get off otherwise they would advise Scott to plead guilty to have a greater chance of a lighter sentence .

LimeGreenMachine

We arent getting him. He had a backended deal with Souths , something like 500K and 600K the last year . We aren taking that on , especially considering the Storm are chipping in 200K a year for 2 years for Scott. He is a young bloke who came off a serious injury last year. He looks promising . But ...

Acouple of cases ive seen happy to people out on the piss, has been-theyve passed out or blacked out drunk, get woken by an officer, which is when the drunk oerson wakes up to some random trying to do something to him, and being drunk would react with aggression thinking they themselves were being ...

DT article saying Doueihi has told team mates he is gone. Article says new clubs have joined the race and that we could be one of them.

Probably adding 1 and 1 and getting 3 because of the Scott situation .

LimeGreenMachine

Foxsports article says the Storm are kicking in 200K the next 2 years. There is no way we are sacking him.

LimeGreenMachine

Interesting comment from the mole and follow up tweets

@9_Moley

He has been on NRL’s radar for some time. Wish I could tell the full story.

LimeGreenMachine

I think the days of us sacking someone just for another club to sign them are no more. I also think he will serve a suspension and we will move past this. We dont need to over-react. Assaulting a police office could be a range of things from accidentally striking them when being arrested to a full b...

LimeGreenMachine

Not a good start but will I'll wait and see what all the details are.
Also how is a random drug search with nothing found drama?

@WestsTigers
Joey Leilua. Three years.
@telegraph_sport

LimeGreenMachine

I would love Joey to stay , but I also understand both sides if he goes.

Wish him all the best.

Tigers would be mad not to sign him.

LimeGreenMachine

His 1st full season in first grade took a toll on his body by the end. He will be better for it this year , stronger , more aware how to handle it.

LimeGreenMachine

Yes his brother has joined the Tigers. We have stated we have the cap space for Joey this year , next year is when we cant afford to keep him , hence we gave him the chance to find a longer contract elsewhere. There were no takers up to this point. Joey may stick around this year to keep earning wha...

Why isn’t Williams here getting used to the heat? He was out here for the Lions tour.... and he is entitled to annual leave. And once he gets here, there won’t be any chance for a break. Plus the Raiders will want to give him a chance to have Christmas with his family, which is a compassionate thin...

LimeGreenMachine

Brock Lamb has signed a 2 year deal ( with eels ) , 1st year is a development contract . Not sure how the development contracts work but it is odd you can bring a player into the development squad who has played first grade

As for Frawley he isn't seeing first grade with us

LimeGreenMachine

Whats the idea of the scrum rule , next you will be allowed to play the ball in 3 spots. Why are they making this change? where are the complaints where the scrums take place? 20/40 rule is also dumb , a good defensive set and then the kicker smashes the ball blinly down field they get a bounce and ...

LimeGreenMachine

Good signing . I like Scott. He did smash Walker after all.

I think its the end of Joey though in Raider colours . Shame as he is a game breaker.

LimeGreenMachine

Wasnt it reported he was on 900k in the option year of his contract. So going to 1 million isnt that far of a jump anyway. Since signing that previous contract he has made NSW team , Australian team and is the Clive Churchill medal winner Id rather pay 1 million for Jack than Ben Hunt or a couple of...

LimeGreenMachine

Horsburgh. Superb debut season. He developed as the season went on , dropped back and came back better.
He should kick on next year. Has an aggressive attitude but controlled it well

LimeGreenMachine

He isn't chasing more money though is he? I thought no one was willing to pay him what we are. Pretty sure this is the club pushing him out by his reaction I thought he was looking for an extension and we cant afford to give him one so we have given him the option to secure another long term contra...

LimeGreenMachine

This is about a new manager and not getting anything out of the old deal . Player managers are blight on the game. It was tweeted his last year is about 900k and a car. Thats a good deal. So we are back to the manager not getting a cent until he gets a new deal. Between Bateman and Wighton wanting a...
