Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

You'd have to think madge would be well placed to gauge whether Shawn Blore was any good. Former captain of panthers s.g. ball team and under 18 nsw rep plus Jr Aus player. Certainly has potential

I mentioned it before. I'd love to pick up Best as a replacement for Croker. If we could pick up Curran for Elliot and aTaafe for wighton then that would round us out nicely

Re: Corey Harawira-Naera discharged from hospital, thanks public for support

I've had a look at the run before he went down and it appears as though he face plants it. I reckon that was the cause. To his credit he jumped straight up to play the ball quickly but he looked ginger afterwards and stayed out of the play until he went down

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023

I'm OK too. I'd love to know what is going on but at the same time I appreciate that it could cause a distraction particularly at a time that we are doing well. I think it's best the club keep a focus on performances and aim to keep that in the media. Recruitment can bubble away in the background....

Re: Mal Meninga believes Canberra Raiders should take a punt on Luke Brooks

Would you prefer to pick up brooks for 400/500k or hunt for 1.1/1.2m? There is no doubting who is the better player, it's a question of whether you'd want to fork out that cash for a 34 y/o considering what it would mean for our capacity to sign other potential recruits.

Re: Raiders offer Jack Wighton a four year $4.4 million deal

I hope he leaves. He is not a 1m player. I don't begrudge him for chasing money but 800k is fair value for him. If he wants more then good luck to him. That said, I know we will break the bank and pay massive overs to keep him and wonder where our salary cap went. Cause that's how we role
