Jordan Rapana re-joins Canberra Raiders for 2020 on short-term deal

[T_R]

If his legs are fit, that would be a big boost for us.

He really needed a decent break after last season, too many niggling injuries.

100% agree yeh raiders. There must be a reason he is not making a Japanese Rugby first team. It's not due to any lack of ability so maybe injury is still affecting him. I said last year that I reckon Rapa is the best right winger we've had at the Raiders ever. But he would have to get through all the Raiders medical tests before coming back.

It's due to the players in front of him. It's a stacked roster.

So when's this happening? Can he come back before May if the Japanese comp is cancelled?

You'd think so. But he is contracted to union, so his union club would have to agree.

Should start ahead of Bailey still at this stage. Felt we lacked punch out of our 20 from kick returns. He and Beej were one-two specialists. Not really Bailey's game yet...Scott looks OK but no beej in the hard carry department. For balance, Jordy Raps and Bailey in the 14 atm for mine.

[Seiffert82]

Yeah, if Rapa is fit that's the go for sure.

Bulldogs have approached Rapana management, as it appears Okunbor will be sacked.

Correct about what?

The latest WHO data https://experience.arcgis.com/experienc ... ee1b9125cd indicates a mortality rate of 3.8%. And that's a figure based on confirmed cases of the virus. There would be untold unconfirmed cases of infection around the world (zero to mild symptoms) that have not resulted in death. Most reputable science indicates a real mortality rate of 1-2%. Furthermore, a good proportion of those that died had pre-existing medical conditions. Countries with relatively high mortality rates (Italy, Iran and China) are those who are poorly prepared to deal with the epidemic and their medical systems have been overwhelmed with sick and old people.

This is very serious, but don't spread nonsense about what is actually happening out there.

In Australia, about 0.0008% of the population is confirmed to have the virus, and of those about 1.5% have died. That means about 0.00000012% of Australia's population has died from this thing over the 6 weeks, since the first confirmed case on 25th January. In the same time period, about 2000 people died of Type-2 diabetes in this country, so maybe focus your attention on giving people healthy eating tips.

Reckon Rapana would play for Canberra over Canterbury for half the money tbh.

Would you play Raps on the right or left? I thought the right edge looked really good but he is traditionally a right edge player.

There's not even a 6% mortality rate in China

Right. So 0-0.4% fatality rate for 0-49 year-olds and 14.8% fatality rate for 80+ year-olds. 4.7% of cases were bad enough to require intensive care. 87% of cases are in 4 countries China, South Korea, Iran and Italy.

Basically confirms everything I've said. Cheers.

So everybody, if you're younger than 49 and don't live in China, South Korea, Iran or Italy, the chances of you dying of this thing are less than the chance of you winning Oz Lotto.

Strange though, it makes me feel a whole lot better! It’s about the same rate for me as influenza.

Maybe we should just ban over 50s from the footy??

Looking at those demographics you have to conclude this this is also those dastardly Greens weaponising a virus against conservative voters after their bushfire plot was foiled.

If his legs are fit, that would be a big boost for us.

He really needed a decent break after last season, too many niggling injuries.

100% agree yeh raiders. There must be a reason he is not making a Japanese Rugby first team. It's not due to any lack of ability so maybe injury is still affecting him. I said last year that I reckon Rapa is the best right winger we've had at the Raiders ever. But he would have to get through all the Raiders medical tests before coming back.

It's due to the players in front of him. It's a stacked roster.

The Panasonic Wild Knights have a stacked wing roster? I see they had Fukuoka in the 2019 Japanese Rugby squad but Fujita was not there.
Surely Rapa is a better player. Of interest in the Japanese National Rugby Squad of 2019 was back rower Pieter Labuschange - Marnus' brother.

Hi GE. If you are interested in stats, ive been monitoring the following site for a couple of months.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

For what its worth, i think some of you dudes need to chill a bit. The fact is that no one really knows how this is going to play out in Australia. My guess is that we are on the same trajectory as other countries in Europe but its possible i am wrong. While sitting in the 40 to 50 y/o bucket fills me with some confidence about my chances (in the event i get it) i am absolutely terrified about what this could mean for my ~70 y/o diabetic father, and some close friends who are currently undertaking chemotherapy. Im not sure how this discussion started but i personally feel that this whole affair has been grossly mismanaged by the government, that the nrl will be suspended within a couple of weeks and that our overcrowded hospitals wont cope with the additional strain it is going to be placed under in the coming months; leading to a lot of deaths that could have been avoided .

For a wing role, I'd have him behind Noguchi, Fujita, Fukuoka and de Allende - all of them are internationals, all of them play wing or wing + one other position. Tough team to get a start in.
