Re: Cotric re-signs with the Raiders to end 2020

Ottio is also better suited to moving in than on the wing. He could spend a lot of time at centre in 2018. Just not in first grade. That said he's looked much better at centre for PNG than Nene Macdonald who shouldn't have an issue getting a first grade gig. I guess you can take minnow world cup for...

Re: Rugby League 2018

Having a half that defends like Maloney next to the penrith 2nd rowers is going to be a big target for attack. He's not going to have the protection of a Luke Lewis or Wade Graham.

Geez frugal you are not. What's a couple 100k extra here or there to pay your team captain to play for another side. The long service allowance is meant to be a cap exemption, is it not?

Re: Canberra Raiders to shed players in salary cap drama

One thing to keep in mind with Croker is the discount we get for years at the club. A club taking him on is not going to receive that (not that I would move him on). How much of a discount do clubs get for long serving players though? I thought it was at something like $300k per club, which would r...

Joey Joe Joe in the starting pack. Happy for him. Hopefully he picks up some confidence out of this.
Rapana also has a centre that's good at setting up his winger.

That's a good bench.

Re: Raiders Contracted Players - Updated 20 October 2017

Interesting to see if he can grab a Mounties gig. You'd think if he's worth any investment he'd have to be snagging a regular bench spot or better in 2018. There is room for them to shuffle players around in the 2nd row, bench and centres.
