I would love us to be a Top 2 defensive side. Then we will be semi finals bound with a genuine shot at the Premiership.

I would rather take Mitch Cornish ( who is playing Canberra Raiders cup next year ) on a 1 yr minimum wage deal then even contemplate Moses !!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
Williams brings out the best in his other half, both Austin and Sezer have played their best games in green with SW by their side. Selfless player that i still want to see succeed.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

"Johnston has been linked to Canberra, but the Raiders are denying they are keen… for the moment."
It is The Lurker... and even he's saying we're denying interest. Can't see him and Shaun Johnson joining the club in one year!

Does this spell the end for Jack Wighton? If we are chasing SJ, money has got to be punched from somewhere.

SJ will never join the Raiders, even if Wigjton leaves SJ will want a lot of money and we simply don’t have.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
I'm starting to buy into the storey that the raiders have front loaded players contracts in 2019 so we can go large in 2020. To be fair mullholland has said that we'd have room in the cap in 2020.i never really understood why (unless we were planning to move players on) so it kinda checks out. I wouldn't be adverse to offering SJ something like 4m over 4 years (with some back ending if rewuired). Nonsense about Alex Johnstone is exactly that. I think it was more about Bennett joining the bunnies, someone thinking boyd would follow him (which I doubt will happen) and then linking him to us as a possible destination given lingering Wighton concerns

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2018
How did Tyrone May go in 2018? I didn't keep up with as much footy this season but I remember him looking good at the back end of 2017. Surely he'd be searching for a starting gig somewhere if Panthers sign a half to replace Maloney

Had a sort of typical return from an ACL. Didn’t set the world on fire, didn’t really nail down a position in either grade either actually.

Juicy.
Rumour aside if he does come it pretty much locks Wighton in at 5/8 (or sacked).
