Open season: All 16 NRL teams’ off-contract stars in 2019

Raiders

Jordan Rapana. The 29-year-old has an outstanding strike rate of 67 tries from 97 games and five tries from eight Tests for the Kiwis, making the potent finisher a potential target for opposition teams.

Joseph Tapine. Still only 24 years of age, Tapine has scored 14 tries in 83 NRL games and already has seven Tests for New Zealand, making him a juicy prospect if the Raiders can’t lock him up long term.

Jeez there really aren't a lot of decent halves around these days. Johnson is the only one on the list I would see as getting us extra wins, but even he isn't perfect.

For forwards I'd still be looking at Ofahengaue as our main target for next year.

I thought Raiders had re-signed Tapine, or was that unconfirmed?

Would definitely like to keep both. Should be able to.

I'd say Munted would too... possibly even Brooks.

It's one of those imminent deals. Perhaps it will get done when he is back from England as apparently Rugby League hasn't caught up with signing and scanning documents yet.

Oh yeah, Munster for sure. I don't think he is a possible signing though, Johnson at least might be a massive outside chance.

Brooks perhaps at the right price. He would be an upgrade.
