Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
So in recent years Sharks, Tigers, Manly and Eels (to name a few) have all been busted for salary cap issues, but somehow Roosters and Broncos are perfectly fine? Despite the signings they have made?Fuifui Bradbrad wrote:Could you imagine if we broke the rules to get Sam Williams?gergreg wrote:I'd be very surprised if every club wasn't breaking the rules to some degreeedwahu wrote:Sharks are set to have 300k cap reduction per year for the next 2 years.

Yeah, they never breached though. They were just going to be over.
Tigers now had their penalty reduced to below the breach and split over 2 years. It's basically a soft cap now.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Laughable, good job they didnt cheat in any way in the premiership year..uncanny that eh?
Why not reduce the cap by $12,000 over the next 50 years, make it really tough

Things could be so much worse for us. Imagine having your club sign robbie farah and then copping a fine for it

With one of the pamfas players allegedly involved in a seedy sex tape, it MAY be in the raiders interest to HALF sniff around to see what shakes out

Sounds like ol’ sidemouth May have put him off. Would it be a stretch to offer Allan fullback here? I suppose sticky and co wouldn’t entertain it as cnk was certainly lured using the same carrot.

I realize AJ Brimson signed a new deal last yr, but the kid looks to be struggling to make the Titans 17 this yr, after being their brightest spark. Why arent we offering him a #1 jersey to break his deal?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
I’ll still support him but I’m not liking where this club is heading.
The last 2 years have been such a waste since all the good work from 2016 is undone.
We are virtually trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result. We are weakening our Fullback position to put him at Five Eight.
The fact everyone is tipping us in the bottom 4 actually gives me some hope but everyone bar Parra, Warriors and Canterbury have either strengthen their squad or their coach so I can’t see how we will make the 8.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Okay... Let's actually look at recruitment, strengthening of squads, you've picked three sides. How have Manly, Cowboys, Storm, Tigers, Broncos to name just a few, strengthened their squads. Thurston and Slater have retired and no real recruits to replace them. Manly haven't recruited anybody, nor have the Broncos or Tigers. Why have you only picked Parra, Warriors and Doggies? I think there are quite a few sides who haven't really strengthened their sides. I think the comp is quite open this year with everything going on. Are we capable of taking advantage of it? I have my doubts but it's not down to our squad and how it compares with other teams.Brew wrote:I’ll still support him but I’m not liking where this club is heading.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Panthers. The off field distractions could either focus them or put the team into factions. Tough job for Ivan Cleary first up.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
I said squad OR coaches.
So that rules out Manly, Tigers and Brisbane.
Storm don’t need to change anything as they have constant success.
Cowboys bought well except Barba didn’t work out.
