It's also why I wouldn't mind a solid fullback either. Move Wighton to #6 who plays as a second fullback in attack and defends in the line - essentially as a version of Austin who defends better.julian87 wrote: ↑September 4, 2018, 10:11 am I’m still convinced a solid/strong stop gap at five-eighth could work with the current squad. Good defense, willing to run and play direct and they’re essentially going to be #4 playmaker anyway. And that’s not even touching on the on the roles Whitehead and the right edge can play.
Our best points of attack are Hodgson and Wighton from fullback. Sezer as the main kicker and we can’t pretend Austin ever offered much ball play even at his peak for us.

Im not convinced that Sammy and Sezer wont work though. I thought Sammy had a pretty good year, and he certainly finished the yr strong.

Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
Chudleigh released by the Cowboys. Would be a cheap option as a backup hooker?
Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
Another player struck by the ACL curse, dynamic hooker Josh Chudleigh was never able to add to his one NRL game.
A former Queensland Cup Player of the Year, Chudleigh tragically suffered repeated knee injuries over the last three seasons.

Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
Didn’t we already sign back Baptiste?
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
That would have been up there in terms of dumb decisions the club has made
I think Havili exceeded expectations so they didn't proceed

Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
Maybe Tapine can convince Levi to leave Newie? Otherwise Cam King could be an option.
Pass on Griffin, poor guy can't catch a break with serious injuries.

Re: Raiders Scouting Thread
Looks like Ken Sio would be only worth a touch over min wage. He is good enough as depth.
