Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders?
So Paul Kent writes that we have signed Jack Hetherington from the Panthers:
"So Waqa Blake was released mid-season to Parramatta. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak released to Canterbury.
Jack Hetherington will be off to Canberra. Maloney gone to France. Campbell-Gillard being shopped around."

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.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
**** I’m very happy with that if true. He looked very good last year, is probably minimum wage, and has a familial history with the club.
I’ve posted before on here that I think he’s someone we should sign.
Hope it’s true.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Yea a few rough edges but definitely has potential, would be a good addition to the squad
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
Hetherington would be a really astute signing.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
He is nothing but trouble off the field. Just what we need, another back rower!

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
Cant remember ever really seeing him play, but it looks like the right people who do know are very happy with this, so count me in.
Bring on the young Mullo bloodliner.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
Has some disciplinary things to sort out on, and possibly off the field, but a solid signing IMO. Was pretty solid for the Panthers last year. Will add to our good depth. Decent young middle forward.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
If he was a race horse, you'd buy him entirely on his bloodlines.
I guess prop is about the only place we have space for a young forward. He could do well.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
He’s a bit of a liability discipline wise. But I don’t think you’re going to get a better fit potential/talent/age compared to cost.
His on field issues, from memory, remind me a bit of a young Mitch Barnett. Has an error or several penalties in him but maybe that can be ironed out with age/good culture. Because lord knows there wasn’t a good culture at Penrith even with success.
I’m not attributing Penrith’s mild success in 2018 to him but from memory he came into the team when they were in a rut and they improved when he was in the side. An injury riddled 2019 and it looks like Cleary probably thought Penrith rushed into and signed him on overs. That’s not gospel, just what it looks like to me. From memory Cleary prefers a safer style of forward too which might be part of what’s happened.
He’s not a world beater but he 100% fits the current forward pack mound Stuart has built. Very good defender and aggressive but fit young middle forward. Actually a pretty similar style of player to Horsburgh but maybe a touch more athletic with ball in hand.
If it’s true and it doesn’t come off we simply have a young bloke in reserve grade rather than a career reserve grader on the same amount of money.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
I agree with all of that. Very much a Horseburgh type signing/ player. A mobile aggressive middle with a temper.julian87 wrote: ↑August 6, 2019, 10:31 am He’s a bit of a liability discipline wise. But I don’t think you’re going to get a better fit potential/talent/age compared to cost.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
Dont want to start a new thread but I think Horse has done well to control his temper on field while maintaining his aggression. Also been great with off loads and cleaning up loose ball. Also tough as nails. Played with a fractured elbow a few weeks back. Very impressed!
Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
he was a bit sloppy in that first game back but has been a lot better last 2 weeks

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2019
According to Paul Kent's article in the Tele on the panthers- 'Jack Hetherington will be off to Canberra'. Seen a bit of him, can play.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
How many father/sons would that be for the Raiders?
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
From what i know, he is very loose disciplinary wise on the field, and some off. With a lot of raw potential and big raps as a junior.
Good signing as a depth player on minimal coin. Actually really good.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
Great signing..... I'm sure L. Bateman wished he took the 3yr deal while it was on the table. I'm sure this bloke will take his spot on less money.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
I hadn't seen that. Surely, his value to the club has dropped in the interim. Surely even Luke must look at the talent ahead of him in the roster and realise he wont get much more than minimum wage... There would have to be more opportunities for him elsewhere.

I'm not sure there would be. Lots of games missed through injury this year, and not named again this week, after one game back.boydy80 wrote: ↑August 6, 2019, 3:42 pmI hadn't seen that.

Jack Hetherington has ability, I like the signing. Will put pressure on our bench middles and would not surprise me if he forced his way into our 17. Don't know much about him off field though, hope he fits our current culture.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
Still think it is a good signing. Given Stuart was able to get some pretty good output from Dave Taylor, I am somewhat hopeful he can reign in Hetherington’s poor discipline. I seem to remember he was sin binned twice in the same game for Penrith, but could be wrong.
Plenty of potentially good forwards coming through with Guler, Horsburgh, Young, Murchie and now Hetherington.

Re: Jack Hetherington heading to Canberra Raiders
I seen a few of his games last year, and he had a lot of potential. Plenty to get excited about. The comparison to Mitch Barnett is on the money, but I think JH has more attacking ability by far.
Yes, he is a handful off field but I'm confident Ricky will get the best from him
