If he doesnt feel he has a path to FG and Timoko/Kris are ahead of him... probably not.
The Croker situation is going to be unresolved for at least another 6 months imo

Very fair.

Fog played both sides of the ruck the other night and got Titans back into the game before Walkers FG. I think he is a little underrated.mongoose wrote: ↑June 15, 2021, 11:27 amI don't mind Fogarty, i would have him at the Raiders for a good price. Brooks is probably equal to Townsend and even then Chad has big game experience, Brooks doesn't....Seiffert82 wrote: ↑June 14, 2021, 1:51 pmThat's why this is not even a proper discussion. There are blokes like Dearden, Fogarty, Kelly, Townsend and Averillo running around and somehow Brooks is the worst of the lot.The Nickman wrote: ↑June 14, 2021, 10:47 amWait, wait... are you saying George Williams was WORSE than Luke Brooks?
Surely you're NOT saying that!
Certainly room for all 3, esp if u lose both the guys 'ahead' of them.The Nickman wrote: ↑June 16, 2021, 6:03 am There’s room in the squad for Timoko, Kris AND HSS, if Kris moves into the backrow like he’s probably destined to do.
Particularly if the club uses the latest Scott incident as an excuse to move him on, as I suspect they will.

Is he far off Julian??julian87 wrote:HSS is the best of the young outside backs. His injury was at a horrible time for him and the first grade squad. Hopefully his return is fruitful and he’s in first grade in a few weeks.
based on reported salarySthsea22 wrote: ↑June 16, 2021, 11:39 am How much $$$$ would we have if we got rid of Scott (Likely), Croker (Medically retired) on top of the G Williams release?
Could we possibly tempt a Half currently signed up at another Club? Imagine if Williams wanted to leave as Reynolds hit the market earlier in the season smh

600k for George
600k for Croker
400k for Scott
But i dont believe the Croker money will be freed up in time to be useful during this FA period. I think the road to medical retirement probably still has at least 6-8 months left
I think he'll get more clean up work done in the off season, they'll try and get him as healthy as possible, and primed to return in 2022 and as that preseason plays out and it's clear he cant physically make it happen, they'll look to medically retire him then
That said, i think we're going to have roughly 800k of salary come off the books when Hodgson's move to Brisbane is finalised.
So assuming we sack Scott, im estimating we'd have AT LEAST 2m to spend between Williams, Scott and Hodgson
Yep exactly.radicalraider wrote: ↑June 16, 2021, 12:01 pm Most clubs have one half on big money not two.. unfortunately our 6 is on big money and can't manage a game let alone kick or pass at an elite level..

But he is just repeating that the Raiders are the only club left interested in Dufty.

Listen from 13th minute.
Him being average behind a decent pack doesn't concern me really. We don't need a superstar in the position, average is okay as long as the skillset suits imo. To be honest, I haven't had a good look at Pearce for a while but would I be correct in saying that he's got a serviceable kicking game? That's what we need at the moment and if he can bring that here at a reasonable price, I don't mind the signing at all.
