I wouldn't have anything to do with him either, to me the greatest asset a person has is their good name as a man or woman of their word.

Their word is still worth nothing, they have a complete lack of integrity. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
To be fair mansour didnt sign with us so i dont have him in the same boat as tedesco. If rapana didnt extend id have been open to signing him, but we cant have both on our books unless mansour comes across v cheap

The answer to replacing Cotric for this football team is not an older, slower, and in every way an outdated model of Cotric

Or does it only work when their complete lack of integrity disadvantages our club??

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
We need to make sure that guy has never rejected our advanced before though at any point in his career, because that is massive disrespect and shows bad character - such that we shouldn't touch them with a thousand foot barge pole.
If the best player in the game James Tedesco came back to us right now and said he wanted to play for us I'd tell him to **** off, you ****. We don't want you and your majorly increasing chances of a premiership.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Yeah call me crazy but any time James Tedesco would like to change his mind again and take up that deal we gave him, I’d welcome that with open arms

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Fox Sports reporting we are making a "late play" for Adam Keighran from the Warriors, but he is more likely to sign with the Roosters.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Although I'm unsurprised by the lack of attention to detail, I can assure you it's not, because if it was going to it would've done so already.
Botpig and I strongly agree on the vast majority of things - talking 90%+ here. Even the kinda **** that seems to be widely unpopular on here.

I tell you what - we are fortunate that we didn't make a play for him:

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Apparently we’re talking to Jack Sandford, a NZ rugby junior....
Canberra Raiders eye Kiwi teen star Jack Sandford
Canberra have held talks with one of the finest rugby union talents in New Zealand by the name of Jack Sandford. A student at the famed Christchurch Boys High School, has thrived ar fullback in union. He has also played league for the Aranui Eagles and been involved with Super Rugby’s Crusaders.

He looks good without being outstanding.
I seen better highlight reels of kids.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
But remember... you’re watching union highlights. I thought he looked like a good prospect. Peter Mulholland likes recruiting from NZ union junior ranks.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
well that was one of the most uninspiring highlight videos I've ever seen.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
It's just a couple of clips, i doubt they have cameras every week.
Still better than the clips of that union winger we just signed...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
When recruiting young kids, it's less about the level of play and more about the physical gifts
You figure out how to coach him up later, if he's got the physical gifts, then get him and see if a lottery ticket caches in

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
I'm pretty sure Mansour never signed with us, guys. We targeted him and gave a tour. Sent him an offer. It happens all the time.
And, as astutely observed above, it goes both ways. We've benefited from a guy reneging on a contract - and since we're getting all high and mighty here about the principle of it all, tell me, does that mean we should've kicked Josh Papalii to the curb?
