Re: Raiders sign James Tedesco on 3 year deal

To be fair, there are quite a few of them that seem to recognize that we've been victims of this ourselves many, many times over the last decade and acknowledge that we really had no choice to start doing the same. It's a shame though, Canberra, Wests and Penrith have been nursery clubs for a while ...

Re: Raiders sign James Tedesco on 3 year deal

Some very angry and spiteful posts popping up on the LU Tigers forum.

So this is what it's like to poach a rising star....

Re: Terry Campese’s Canberra career is at the end - Steve Tu

Either way in a season where he doesn't need to play the full 80 and can be eased in, I think it's the best bet.

Keep as little pressure on him as possible.

Re: Terry Campese’s Canberra career is at the end - Steve Tu

I agree with starting Cornish and putting McCrone back at 14 - however I doubt that will happen, i'd say Cornish will start from the bench but come on around the 55th minute It's not a terrible idea you know. We are not title contenders this season so there's no reason to burden him with a playmaki...

I'd say it's closer to a Raiders/Storm decision, I'd doubt he'd be keen to join a dragons side if he doesn't know who the coach is going to be next year.

Re: Terry Campese’s Canberra career is at the end - Steve Tu

I'm starting to think Campo will be retained for 2015 to play outside of Cornish, with a view to go after one of the very promising halves available next year, or move Wighton to 5/8 for 2016.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly offer Ennis $1m over two yea

I think Ennis and Farah are completely different kinds of player. Ennis is a traditional hooker, good out of dummy half and fantastic in defence. Farah is more of a half/hooker hybrid.

Re: Mansour and Tedesco meet with Canberra Raiders

If we are offering him $300k more, he'd be game to turn it down with the injuries he has had. I reckon his parents would be reminding him of that. For someone with a past like Tedesco I imagine there would a constant thought of that going through his head at contract time. He's got no promise of pl...

Re: Mansour and Tedesco meet with Canberra Raiders

That would be insanely good news.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other ones is just waiting to see if any of them sign. They probably know if we get 3 or 4 of the guys we're chasing that we'll be a good outfit next season, so they don't want to be the only one coming.

Re: Mansour and Tedesco meet with Canberra Raiders

I suppose the other argument is that Ennis is an 80 minute playmaking hooker. If Cornish steps up at half, the two of them can run the show whilst Wighton learns his trade in the 6.

Re: Mansour and Tedesco meet with Canberra Raiders

The halves on offer are still a bit of a worry. When guys like Stanley and L.Foran are the top end of the market it's not a deep pool.
