2020 Rd 11 V Rabbitohs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

[kona_dream]

Speaking of Bateman, surely he mustn't be far away now.. a couple of weeks ago I think it was Ricky who said he was 3-4 weeks away. Knowing Johnny and the raiders it might even be a bit earlier than that (which it often is).

about a fortnight ago buzz rothfield mentioned 4 to 5 weeks

I am fully expecting for him to be ready for the Panthers game. He can't play before week 13 due to the cap exemption we received.

Cap exemption yet we can't sign a player

Yet we are in talks with multiple players Sorry I forgot Nrl deals get done overnight.

I really don't get the attraction for the Smith-Shields kid.
He was the one that played in the 9's and did next to nothing?

He doesn't look big enough - and in this day and age I'd much rather a tall bulky lad on the wings.
Mind you his profile says he's 6"1 and 95kg...which almost sounds like Croker. Which really doesn't seem big enough...maybe I was right the first time.

Anyway - point is I don't get the attraction to him. I hope he does well if he gets his chance, but this feels like one of those lads who'll end up at another club.

Now we wait to see when I'm wrong...

He's one of those juniors with raps on them but realistically we've not had anything to judge him on this year. Performances at the 9's (good or bad) don't mean much.

Of course you may be right and that's why we're seeing Valemi get a chance ahead of him.

excellent in flegg and also excelled at mounties, was good in the trial not much more he can do.
been touted the next cotric for a little while

Would one of those players be an international you've never heard of by any chance

That could be true considering we "can't sign a player" I guess that would imply that you haven't heard of him either?

[Makaveli]

All I know is we've known about Murchie, Luke Bateman and Collins for some time and haven't done much to replace them

In order to sign a player one needs to come available i.e get released from his current contract. Doesn't matter how much cap space you have if that doesn't happen.

[Crusader]

God forbid we lose papa we lose everything.. even if the other injured players return

everyone can be replaced, you Cant replace Papalii

I’m hearing John Bateman could be a late inclusion... probably on extended bench

[Perth Raiders]

HSS to debut and Bateman a chance!

[SeeBee101]

If that is the case, i'd say the CHN deal hasn't gone through as he would need to sit out until round 13? yeah?

[simo]

HSS to debut

[Botman]

BIG news with JB back on deck. Even if he cant play this week, the extended bench probably means he'll be back next week or the week after at the absolute lattest
Fantastic

Also pumped for HSS, excited to see him play. I'd prefer him starting with Raps back on the wing and Semi on the bench.

[Seiffert82]

Still no Curtis Scott hey.

[GMGT]

Where'd you get the hot tip? From the team list announcement above your post possibly?

[Finchy]

I don't like Rapana at centre. I'd prefer

2. Rapana
3. Croker
4. Cotric
5. HSS

17. Valemi

[Dusty]

Jordan Rapana at centre makes me very nervous... Hopefully there's a change there.

[Finchy]

Still no Curtis Scott hey.

I do wonder whether there really is an arm infection, or if Ricky know he stinks so bad he's saving him embarrassment by having him out "injured" rather than dropped for rookies.

Ugh... I posted before the team lists were released. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[Ultima]

Good to see Bateman maybe back. Rapana in the centres though... Seems like a bad idea... Surely Cotric is a better option than someone who has never really played there at any level...

[T_R]

Are we ignoring the fact that we're carrying two halves on the extended bench?

Bateman might be named because there aren’t any other players to name imo.

Only if they needed to use the 120k cap exemption towards Corey's deal

strange team for all the reasons already mentioned.

Interesting choice then. He could have just named Scott.

I wouldn’t think it has anything to do with CHN. I think we sometimes overlook that CHN hasn’t been released by the doggies yet and therefore, no deal with the raiders can be reached.

I imagine once he is released, he’ll sign with us and we can bring him in virtually straight away. As long as it’s all done by the cut off date which I think is 3 August.

[Dylan’s Raiders]

I was thinking the exact same thing... just a place holder.

[LimeGreenMachine]

Bateman is probably named in reserves because he is still waiting on a clearance later in the week.

[Hong Kong Raider]

Surely you name one of your juniors to encourage them and reward them for their hard work at training, as opposed to naming a star just for the sake of naming them ?

Can an arm infection be that bad to miss 2 weeks of football?
