Did Ricky ever coach Fergo?
Rona would fit the bill as a large body winger/centre. But that's gone a bit quiet.

Yes at Cronulla. And Fergo had a get out clause if Stuart left the club. He used this to sign with the Raiders when Stuart left Cronulla
Yeah I think Sticky and Don are probably well past the need or inclination to do that. Fergo isn't offering an awful lot that Rapana might not next season anyway in terms of experienced wingers and the "good clubman" difference is immense.
Really? Which clubs are after him? I don't even think we are
Not sure...But he can playHong Kong Raider wrote: ↑August 7, 2020, 3:48 pmReally? Which clubs are after him? I don't even think we are
Yeah, the signing of James has filled the role of veteran gamble.BadnMean wrote: ↑August 7, 2020, 11:54 amFans from plenty of clubs saying they want Hethero at their club next year.bonehead wrote: ↑August 6, 2020, 9:01 pmI've been a fan of hetherington for a couple of seasons, he's just raiders DNAFROG wrote:Dont get the obsession with vaughan. Dont get me wrong, hes a good player but wont shift the dial for us and is another bloke who will cost us more than what he will deliver.. at best id have him on par with guler and horsburgh.. we are better than this lads.. talk to me about kikau or lolo and you'll have my interest. Heck id even get excited for someone like jack Hetherington.. pass on the washed up old dudes and spoilt bratts who have no regard for their team mates or fans or honoring contracts within 1 year of signing them

We've taken our risk on James. Vaughan would just be getting in the way of Guler doing the same things he can for us.
Not sure who is after him but he was playing excellent league when he left the Dogs and was probably the Tahs best back last season according to some I spoke to + then went ok in European rugby. Everything Rona did in league is streets ahead of anything we've seen from Bailey, Semi, HSS or Scott- not even a close comparison.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑August 7, 2020, 3:48 pmReally?

I really think holding onto Starling would be prudent. There is a lot of just assuming Hodgo will be good as gold after 2 knee reco's. It's a huge risk to be facing imo.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑August 7, 2020, 4:28 pm
I think depth in the outside backs is probably our next focus...or holding onto Starling.
Kotoeni would be a great get for any team.
This aged well hahaNeeeegz wrote:We need a top shelf fullback. Cnk looks scared to take the high ball, shake up next week needed...
I’d say he was a fine and classic fullback defensively. Scored two tries in attack. Maybe you just need to care less about how it’s done?Rick wrote:I will still say he was a **** fullback. If he wants to play like a centre play him there.

Agree, maybe not a **** fullback but one with a glaring weakness.... I had him MoM but still has a 2 out of 10 passing game
That is just utter nonsense. CNK has been a strong positive contributor in many of the games this year.Rick wrote:I am a CNK fan but he has not performed where he should have this year. Last year we brought him for peanuts he played well so we upgraded him. This year he has performed like he should be payed peanuts. As a club this should be revisited.
People bag out Scott but unfortunately CNK appears to have a lower ceiling.

I'll give him another shot since he came back early from a bung finger. But he's been poor on the high ball for quite a while now. Given that he is a defensive oriented FB, he needs to be rock solid on those most weeks. Lately he's been missing 1-2 every game. I've defended him on that previously as an aberration but it's become the norm.Rick wrote: ↑August 9, 2020, 12:32 am I am a CNK fan but he has not performed where he should have this year.

Although centres are currently the paupers of the game, I want to see this done. He is a game breaker.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑August 9, 2020, 4:59 am Kotoni Staggs wants out?
The Brisbane Broncos are about to be rocked by news that another of their boom players wants out. Centre Kotoni Staggs is under contract until the end of next season but can negotiate and sign with rival clubs from November.
The fact he wants to look elsewhere puts more pressure on struggling coach Anthony Seibold. Staggs’ situation is similar to Fifita, whose negotiations with the Titans were stalled by a dispute with his manager. There’s talk Staggs wants to find a new agent as well.

Let's go for him. Move on the current number 4 to create salary cap space
Hes one of the few centres you just need to pass the ball to which suits our style of not setting up for anything in particularafgtnk wrote: ↑August 9, 2020, 11:49 amAlthough centres are currently the paupers of the game, I want to see this done.

My FIL watches a **** ton of RU (dont know how he does it) and he reckons Rona has played well in RU. I asked him directly about what we'd be able to expect from him as a Cotric replacement and his thoughts were "you'll get about about 70-80% of what Cotric gives you"BadnMean wrote: ↑August 7, 2020, 6:43 pmNot sure who is after him but he was playing excellent league when he left the Dogs and was probably the Tahs best back last season according to some I spoke to + then went ok in European rugby.

Given he's only 28 and never left any code for form/lack of clubs wanting him then I'd say he'll get a bit of interest now it is known he's looking at league again. I'd be happy if he came here. Be nice for the club to fly him over 1st class and put him up at a 5 star mansion just to show the NRL the can of worms they've opened.
