To be fair, he was a forward for most of the time he was with us in the lower grades, and has turned himself into a back since leaving the club...Sossman wrote:Turning a Back into a Forward. Usual Raiders there then!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
That is exactly what ive been worried about. Say e.g. Herbert gets injured im sure we can cover with Tongue at five eighth and Campo at halfback but if campo gets injured, 21 yr old rookis Herbert will have control of the attack and i dont think i'd like that. We are lucky to have durable halves.thickos wrote:But if Campo or Herbert gets injured, especially in the run home to the finals, we're stuffed. No Dobson, no Carney. What do we do, bring up Smith from the Toyota Cup? The younger Picker?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
i know ben sione from my time at west belconnen would be a great player 2 have at the club as he can play in the backrow and in the outside backs, he was in the 20s squad but got into trouble up in townsville at the start of the season
Re: Raiders player signing speculation
i hope we sign Q, he is a gun, i didn't see the weekends game but from what i have seen he is oozing talent and flare

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
Considering we are losing Best, Zillman, Chalk, hopefully Kelly and quite possibly Bronx Goodwin, that leaves us withonly 5 first graders to cover the outside backs/fullback next year. I would hope the club would sign at least two more blokes who can be used as utility backs. Brent Grose would be a great option, can play fullback, wing and centre ata a pinch.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
definatly have to sign Q , hes been great up there this year , although im not too sure why everyone keeps jumping on Brett Kelly , give him a few games in FG and i bet you will see that he IS a player worthy to be there , and tough to.
Also need to hang on to Costigan , if he leaves , believe me it will come back to bite us....hard, he will have a good year next season im sure
we have a guy called Michael Brophy in u20s who is tough enough to play FG too
can Best get out of the Souths contract like Smith did to us ??? it'd be great to keep him

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
We are covered for outside backs

Plus maybe Brophy and Thompson who is a backrower anyway means we are covered? That'll do me.

The Burner is relying on Dugan and Vidot. Q and his brother are coming as a package according to Parra Pete.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
I am pretty sure this one got made up by a guy at LU. He was arguning with Skeepe about Thompson and then posted this on the rumours thread. When did it get posted on the roosters forum?Brew wrote:I hear Thompson might be off to the Roosters.....its on their supporter forum ....dont how true it is....julian87 wrote:So Purtell, Monaghan, Milne, Graham and Carney.Makaveli wrote:We are covered for outside backs

I would be gutted it he left but I think he is on contract anyway.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
heres your false teeth
and i meant joel , and in case you didnt know we have an under 20s team thats second on the ladder
with a big chance of a minor premiership
and any games a big game , especially with the under 20 broncos firing as of late

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
Parra Pete reckons we've signed a couple of SL guys in Balcomb and Joyce, and now apparently looking at both Laulu Togagae brothers?
If Q is as good as people are saying, id be fairly happy, balcomb and joyce have got decent wraps aswell.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
This is just a hint of nostalgia for you;
An interview with Andy Platt in RLW this week mentions that he had signed with us in 1990 but Wigan wouldnt release him! Imagine the GB test prop in that side?
In hindsight that was a good thing, or we may have missed out on a guy like Quinton Pongia.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Isn't that the irony. You miss out oon signing a test prop but end up unearthing another one.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation
Tongue is NOT a 5/8th and he should stay the %^and*() out of the way when the Raiders are in attack. He totally punctuates the flow and if you ever doubted it, today's game provided all the evidence you need. The pass to the wrong player when he had multiple options including one bloke who was on the burst and through a hole. Then the pass to Herbert that Thaiday ate up. So it went on.yeh raiders wrote:That is exactly what ive been worried about.
