wow thanks Mr Posh!

Hearing TPJ's market value has dropped with a Sydney club baulking at his $700k price tag and talking $500k. Might slide us back into the discussion.

Loads of ifs and buts in there and I've joined some of the dots myself, but stranger things have happened.

Can't see the Raiders releasing Sezer without someone coming in.

Leeds have also released Matt Parcell today - so we can be all but certain an NRL player of some description is on their way.

That'd be a major shake up if it happened. Could of days to go before the deadline.

Remember Sezer a couple of weeks ago saying there was a whole lot happening behind the scenes here when he was back in reggies...

I heard on LU that Bennett and Richo have been in England over the break for the Rep round and are returning with L Thompson signature... Just one random poster though so far.

TPJ would be good. I think he'd learn some better habits here under Sia, Papa and the Poms. They wouldn't let him get away with being slack in D. It'd be good for him. It's hard to respect that Bronco's set up at the moment when Darius is phoning it in as captain and the kids are running rings around an inexperienced coach- I've seen that show.

Edit: not that I think TPJ is coming. Just thinking out loud.

Can't see how we afford TPJ unless we release Tapine or something like that.. Our team is stacked and we are always at the cap limit

Interesting. I would expect the re sign Sam W for another year as the back up for G Williams if Sezer goes. That leaves Hingano, Ohagan or Westcott on a Rookie maybe as 3rd string half. Interesting few days ahead! I cannot see us signing anymore backrowers! Theres already a heap with an average age of about 22! I would be looking to bolster the outside backs with some more young blood like Smith Shields, Kris and Timoko. All of the young blokes would thrive with a full time pre season and a year in Cup.

That’s not all a deadline day thing as I read it. Salford for example won’t be letting Hastings walk this season.

June 30 is the cut of the NRL sets to finalise player registrations for that year

What about when Hayne came back? Or was that because he came from a different sport.... Or was it just because it was him

You guy's think it would be wise to put pommy William's at 7 halfway through the season when we are travelling so well? It could be pretty disruptive

We swapped from sam williams to aiden sezer 2 weeks ago. I dont think we have an established “halves pairing” to worry about disrupting. Hodgsons probably played more games with g williams anyway

I mean it's not perfect but If you want him playing in the finals it's better now than later. All he has to do is concentrate on defending well and get a short kick or short ball away every so often. Jack and Hodgo can take care of the rest for a few weeks.

Those two have been at the club for years and know the system inside out... Can't see it happening anyway

Hahaha there's absolutely no WAY we're getting George Williams before June 30... Mr Posh has been hitting the crack pipe again.

He is just reporting what's on the pommy forums at the moment. Well the Sezer part at least.

I hope I’m wrong but there is a lot of hype about lord and saviour G Williams being the Raiders next version of JT. From all the games i have watched he looks like B Austin 18 months ago. it would be a shame to have 2 number 6’s!
An uplift to current stock?.... probably but not sold on a solid steering and icing 7.

I'm just showing that there is a path for this to happen before June 30.

There are too many moving parts for it in my opinion, but, as I said, stranger things have happened.

A bloke who probably knows what is in the pipeline told me that the Pommy frontrower is a bigger chance for this year than the Pommy halfback who is for next year. No guarantees but.

Expecting Aiden Sezer at Leeds in the next couple of days - to partner up with Robert Lui who has swapped with Lolohea.

Leaves Richie Myler spare. He might go to Salford (first club), which would free up Jackson Hastings to go to Wigan.

Which, of course, in turn frees up a certain someone...
I was just wondering who would fill our last spot in the top 30
