I've been calling for this move for a while now.
The boy can play and would be a great addition, however given our current crop of young backs, I do wonder if were better placed trying to find someone with more experience.
Farnworth just agreed to an extension with Broncos.
YES! Ive been banging that drum too.
NR, I cant find anything to that effect. I know it was in the media for a little while, but not sure anything was finalised.
I heard it on TripleM yesterday. It was anecdotal rather than an official announcement. My initial thought was that they're actually keeping somebody worthwhile that puts in.

I hope not.

At his best he was a remarkable player - the best winger I've seen since Sailor. Had everything - pace, power, agility, game smarts and defence.

He's too far past his best, though. He's still powerful, but he's lost his pace and agility and his ability to read the game hasn't caught up with his reduced skill set.
Agree. I never saw the best bits of his career butHall is just a plodder these days. He'd just be in the road of trying to find if our young backs have a higher ceiling or languishing in reserves. He should probably head back to SL.

Pretty sure RadicalRaider is sending us a gee up there.

Matty Lees and Morgan Knowles of St Helens are both being linked with a move to the NRL.

Knowles is a very good player, but I've not seen a lot of Lees. He's a former Bradford junior and St Helens fans speak of him being the heir to Luke Thompson.

One wag (not me) has changed his Wikipedia page to say he's signed for the Raiders, but I can't find any actual link.

I'm not sure either of these purchases would make much sense for the Raiders now. We've a solid group of 21-22 year old forwards in Guler, Hors, Young and then O' Donnell, Darby Medlyn and Harry Rushton coming up.

Ricky might want another one in the mix (especially if he sees Young and O' Donnell as edges not middles) I suppose but I'd think our recruiting now would be focussed on an outside back, since we'll be losing Cotric + Rapana and Oldfield are off contract next season and becoming year by year propositions.

I wouldn't be surprised at all now if more NRL clubs are looking at English forwards though. From Graham to the Burgess' to the Raiders lot there haven't been many misses lately among English forwards come over and Thompson has been steady so far for the Dogs amid an arrival in quite challenging circumstances.

The only way this makes sense to me is if we are recruiting for our own NSW cup team. We would need another squad of 20-30 on top of our first grade side.

Nowhere near that many! If you have a NRL squad of 30 plus 6 development players already.

I'm not saying it's happening, of course. However, Lees and especially Knowles wouldn't be coming for development contracts. If it wasn't for Wayne Bennett, Knowles would have been in and around the Lions team.

To field 2 full teams of 17 each week in grade and nsw cup we need 34. Allow for injuries, form etc I would have thought we would need a full squad of 50 to cover to cover that. Add in Flegg and Matt’s at 17 a piece, that’s a pretty big number of players??? You would need very close to a full raiders squad of 100 to cover all 4 grades?

What sort of squad numbers do Penrith have that cover all grades in house?

Fill me in if I’m mistake Mr Posh, but it looks like Lees hasn’t been playing in the super league? It seems he was loaned out to a championship team?

That doesn’t scream ‘first grade nrl’ to me, would you put him on the same kind of level as
Young Harry?

He has - looks like he's played 50 odd SL games. He was Super League young player of the year, last year.

He also wants to play fullback. If he was happy to stay on the wing the Rabbitohs would probably be able to keep him

Yep. Not worth the 600k he can get from another club.

However I’d take him as a winger for $400k.

I don't see Johnston as a fullback, I think he is a winger but he wants fullback money.
I don't see the value in him, especially as we have several young blokes coming through who would be much better value.

I think the fullback romance has past him a bit now. Sure he'd take it if the opportunity came but he's not going to get that offer in the top 8. Bit of a reality check for him spending time out of 1st grade this year.

Just asking for too much money and sees himself as a fullback.
The problem for me is he doesnt help us out where we need it as a winger
his speed his nice, but we need someone who can help us ruck it out, it's going to be a HUGE problem if we dont fix that without Cotric
We need a big body or a powerful ball runner. Johnson gets frog marched backwards the moment there is 2-3 tacklers involved
