Frank Paul put in at least one match winning performance for us, when he tore Balmain apart for pissing him off.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
It wasnt a match winner but the chip he put in for Cotric to ice the cake against Melbourne was at least a moment for Curtis
That probably going to be his only highlight in his time here

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Reminds me of the "*league 2 player* interested in move to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid not interested".
I'm sure Curtis really wants to stay and make a fist of it in Canberra, but the feeling isn't mutual.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Exactly like the Curtis Scott offseason thing. Somehow the discussion ridiculously changed into a debate on how bad the police force are at handling these issues.The Nickman wrote: ↑July 28, 2020, 8:25 amOh yeah, but how often do you ever see this much smoke without fire? I still distinctly remember the Blake Ferguson incident where he literally up and **** off from the club, yet the majority of the forum were screaming out that it was just a "media beatup" and they were just making up lies... turned out he HAD bailed from the club, and we all know what happened there...
Hell, even the John Bateman story this year went down the same route... "Oh don't listen to Hooper, he's ALWAYS making things up"... NEL MINUTE... GOOOOOOONE.
I can't see this thing going in any other direction based on a) the rumours we've heard, 2) Scott's continued absence in an injury-ravaged lineup and iv) and probably most telling of all, Ricky Stuart's reaction in the press conference when asked about Curtis' absence.
The bloke needs to sort his **** out. For his own sake. Soon.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
There was a lot of smoke and no fire in Canberra suburbs last January.
Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
I dont know why that debate being part of the discussion is "ridiculous" given that is exactly the claim from the Scott camp and all evidence suggests they've got a strong argument that this was not handled correctly given the police tried to plead him out on the very minor stuff only for the deal to fall over due to court fees.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑July 28, 2020, 10:58 amExactly like the Curtis Scott offseason thing.

Its clear at this stage the police don't believe they can make the assault charges and the counter claim from Scott that the police did not follow correct procedure have some validity to them.
Nothing ridiculous about that discussion, it was people following and commenting on the story as more information came out. Which of course doesnt absolve Scott of some pretty immature behaviour
Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Also had a good game against the Titans at Bruce in 2015 when he went made it personal against Ryan James and really went after him.
Unfortunately he carried the beef over into the next season and cost us the return game in 2016 where he took out Ryan James off the ball.

I'm making the point that fans are incredibly good at deflecting the issue of players onto whoever else it was involved in the situation. It's why Todd Carney got away with so much over so many years.
Having the debate was fine. At the time I'm sure a lot of people were hoping that it would all go away if the charges were dropped. Now I'm sure many people hope the charges stick so we can sack him without compensation. That's why I'm cynical.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
I'm hoping Scott finds form against one of the lower placed teams and builds some confidence for the remainder of the season. Our recruitment obviously saw something they like about him for them to sign him. I hope he comes good and becomes a greenhouse darling.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
I confess to not watching Scott particularly closely when he was at the Storm, but the things that did catch my attention were mainly positive and my general impression of him was that he was a young player with a brightish future but needed to fill out a bit to fulfill the role a modern centre needs to play. But it was obvious that Bellamy was going through a period in the second half of last season where he was dissatisfied with the performance of his backs and switched or sacked a few players in an unsucessful attempt to remedy the situation. Scott was a casualty of Bellamys dissatisfaction. He was replaced for this season by Brenko, a player I thought might have been an assett to the Raiders.
Once Scott arrived in Canberra I thought his early performances were FAQ or thereabouts, particularly in view of the disrupted nature of the New Year (fires, smoke, training base moves and lastly coming to Police attention). Subsequently his form has gone backwards but form is temporary, ability is a longer term proposition. His form could improve.
And the smoke signals tell us that his form had better improve and soon. The Raiders squad is such that some admired and wellbeloved players are soon not going to be a part of the top 17 when most players are available. Several of them won't make the top 21. Good players want to come to the Raiders.
I think one of the unintended consequences of Covid will be a desire for young families to avoid crowded living conditions, a factor that could be to our advantage.
That is a rambling case that Scott had better pick up his socks. (and literally too, I hate this modern fashion of socks worn below the ankles.)

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Canterbury Bulldogs not interested in recruiting Curtis Scott
Canterbury has no interest in Curtis Scott. Nor Josh Addo-Carr. There will be no Josh Reynolds' homecoming next year. Jack Bird would have some appeal if Brisbane tipped in north of $500,000 for next year.
"There will be no scatter-gun approach from us. The players we've been linked to, we're talking less than half of those names we've actually talked to.''

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
I can't imagine any NRL club being interested in Scott at the point in time, and even if they were they'd only be willing to pay pennies on the dollar. I'd say it's a deliberate move to bring him back against a backline that looks like a soft touch. Let's hope it doesn't backfire.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Curtis Scott thus far has been an appalling signing.
Worse than David Howell.
I'd love to see him leave.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

+1 on the dreadful signing call.
I will be very surprised if he is here long term.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
I’d previously mentioned that I heard that Curtis Scott was the quickest in our team (I was surprised myself). Data from the GPS systems published in the Daily Telegraph confirms this. (Note it’s a comparatively slow 33kmh highlighting we don’t have much speed).
Simonsson is the quickest over 100m.
Xavier Coates is the quickest clocked at 37kmh.

Re: Canberra Raiders centre Curtis Scott denies he heading to Canterbury Bulldogs
Whitehead keeps finding clear space and not getting the try
Toots n Cotric maybe have found some clear runs at times but neither will light up the pace stakes. Both probably in the "average" category for outside back speed.

I'm assuming their only taking this GPS data from players with the ball. You can run faster without it and somebody putting in a chase can go flat strap with no impedance.
