I'm not sure Elliot ever slept with a team mates partner. They were caught kissing. Not great, but let's not overstate what happened. So as I understand it dancing nude and getting caught kissing two girls with partners are the extent of his indiscretions. While they may not be terrible, they do have the potential to destroy a club culture which can take years if not decades to build. If he genuinely stays off the drink I have some confidence he may go alright. I've been sober for 10 years now and so I know how tough it can be to stop but with the will and right support its possible.Lui_Bon wrote: ↑October 16, 2021, 10:22 pmApart from the latest thing with partners, and I don't want to downplay it having just read the Phoebe Burgess thing, but apart from dancing nude on a table for the Telegraph's long lens perves to shoot, what else has he done? Genuine question, I get so many atrocities mixed up in my dotage...Rickmando wrote: ↑October 16, 2021, 9:48 pm Here’s the thing… his indiscretions per se aren’t the issue (although sleeping with a team mate’s partner really is pretty crook).
It’s what they tell you about his application to the game. He’s obviously had enough base talent to get into the NRL - but how badly can he want to develop into the best player he can be? He keeps **** up, keeps getting pardoned and further chances, doesn’t really knuckle down and improve a whole lot, then goes and **** up again. It’s the cycle of repeated behaviour that should tip you off.
Now are we talking about latrell Mitchell or Cameron Munster here? No, we are talking about a plodding forward from the worst team in the comp. He’s not even making the best 17 of the top 6 sides on game day. So why would we invite risk into the building for such a low ceiling?
Have some other incompetent club be his last chance saloon and perhaps let’s aim a little higher in both the football and integrity stakes for our 200K investment??

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
“Caught kissing”? Thrown out of a licensed venue shirtless for “cuddling”, after locking themselves away in a disabled toilet?? Come on now. I’m assuming most of us on here have been 25 year old men at some point, and the ones that haven’t been I’m sure have had to deal with their advances/behaviour. There’s nothing “innocent” about these “misunderstandings”.
In saying that, I’ll reiterate my earlier post about the indiscretions themselves not being the problem. Nothing illegal there, just unsavoury.
However on each subsequent occasion - he was supposed to be off the drink, having counseling, following team rules, regaining club/team trust etc etc….That’s the issue. The guy is coasting on his talent/reputation and any claims of improving himself as a player and team mate is pure lip service. And his level of talent is VERY average - not worth the reclamation project lifeline 200K bone throw

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
Great post exactly where I stand on the issue. It’s also the message it send to your club, the players and supporters about what you are about as a club. Forget the indiscretions, we are still saying we are the club that takes the fish that John West reject. In fact not even John West because the Bulldogs are dead bottom of the tuna production market and we are taking discards from them.Rickmando wrote: ↑October 16, 2021, 9:48 pm Here’s the thing… his indiscretions per se aren’t the issue (although sleeping with a team mate’s partner really is pretty crook).

He is a bloke that has played NRL and like it not that makes him a leader in the club. If he is playing reserve grade it’s a fair bet he will be the most experienced player in the team. Is he really the dude we want developing players to view when it comes to preparation, professionalism, work ethic and everything else that makes a great player. As Rickmando points out - he’s had a million chances, has never taken it seriously and slides through on a level of talent that makes him a regular first grader in a rubbish team and a marginal first grader in a decent set up.

I’m just not sure why we’re bothering - plenty of meat heads out there who can cart the ball for 6m a hit up and make most of their tackles that haven’t felt the need to have an intimate act with a team mate’s missus

Also the timing is extraordinary - Sia, described as the greatest ever clubman, and just an outstanding human being retires. Ryan James a former club captain heads off.

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
I think Fogarty contributes to filling the leadership void.
Elliot is another bargain grab of the type that hasn't been "hitting" lately, with James and Scott. I hope we don't sign him. Sounds like no one at the Dogs is going to miss him. Why buy trouble?

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
Hit the nail, Rickmando and Billy. Just not good enough from a football perspective. None of the top 6 sides would have him in their best 17. Why should we even contemplate signing someone like that? His best game was several years ago. Why pay $200,000 for someone playing NSW Cup when you could sign a promising junior. And we haven't learnt from our signing of Curtis Scott.Billy Walker wrote: ↑October 17, 2021, 7:53 amGreat post exactly where I stand on the issue.

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
I don't think he'd be playing NSW Cup if Canberra sign him.
Ryan Sutton at lock is untenable. There are genuinely only 3 NRL standard backrowers at the club.

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
Quoted from the Telegraph story which doesn't make it true, but:
'The Raiders’ team culture is led by the playing group of senior figures that includes Jarrod Croker, Josh Papalii and Wighton. All three are supportive of Canberra signing Elliott, who reached a “mutual termination” of his Bulldogs contract last month.' David Furner is also said to have put in a good work for Adam Elliott.
Should the Raiders decide to sign Adam Elliott, then Sia Soliola will have his new role tested early. I am hoping the whole Telegraph story is due to a Journo trying to help a former 'Team source' at the Bulldogs. We will know soon enough.

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
It's like we built this iron clad contract to protect us and he is an NRL player ... for a decent price so it's a good contract all around, because we're buying low, probably half what we offered him last time. So our front office has a win in those areas, the big problem is that he isn't that good. I agree with others saying we can't have Sutton at lock with V'landysball but Elliott doesn't fix the lock position because his game is the same as Sutton's, but not as good in any area.BadnMean wrote:I think Fogarty contributes to filling the leadership void.

A few years ago when he (Elliott) had a good season he had what we need, ability to poke his nose through a gap and an offload to go with it. Solid in defence and a good motor. But that was 2 or 3 years ago. I'd rather give Mooney a go.

Dunno about you mate but "making out" to means kissing to me. Nothing in there or in any other article Ive seen about an intimate act or that he slept with her. Still a disgusting act, but again, I ask that we actually call things for what they are. Re. The Boyd incident, I was only referring to information that id read and what she herself has said.

Re: Canberra Raiders favoured to sign Adam Elliott
Google a bit harder and you’ll find it mainly described as “together in an intimate act”. Make of that what you will and I’m not convinced one is better than the other - perhaps a case of being caught out doing one before having time to do the other.FROG wrote: ↑October 17, 2021, 12:28 pmhttps://www-foxsports-com-au.cdn.amppro ... fd3c8d776eBilly Walker wrote: ↑October 17, 2021, 8:04 amNot sure that Michael Lichaa felt the same relief about the incident that I’ve only ever seen described as “an intimate act”.

If you are correct that he was only “making out”, that raises other concerns - the bloke is obviously as dumb as a plank if he gets his NRL contract terminated over two instances where he didn’t get past first base Sounds like the sort of guy you’d put through a gap with the line open and he’d still find a way to lose the ball. All that drama and the bloke never got a touch down according to you.

The following night was the club mid season Ball.
