Lino is terrible...pass
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Somehow I don’t think we are signing Vaughan. He does come from the area so he may be catching up with family or friends - that would seem more plausible
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
It's not a position of need whatsoever, in fact we're overly stocked for middles... but also there would need to be a HUGE reconsilation between player and coach before he's ever coming back.
I was gutted to lose Vaughan, thought it was a mistake but given the way Stick had built the team and his success, he'd earnt the right to do as he pleased with that, and whilst i still think its a mistake to let talent like that go, it's not been a mistake thats cost us. We've got the best and deepest middle rotation in the league.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Any thoughts of Vaughan coming back here are done and dusted. We've got a few guys now that are both young and shaping to fill that rep level quality you need in your middles, and on top of that, Ricky will probably still be at the helm here until Paul reaches retirement age in a few seasons.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Okenbor is off contract and carves us up when we play the dogs. In the right system he could be great to replace cotric.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
@VaughanyVaughan looked very fit, very tanned, very happy to be in Canberra. Cool sunnies.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Yeah... I just don't think any club wants the PR nightmare of reuniting that pair. We got the one with the least to answer for, Okunbor was another level of wrong.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Think Staggs and Lomax are both right sided players - although I agree with the sentiments. Two good signings here and promoting Timoko would change the equation completely.GreenMachine wrote: ↑October 18, 2020, 6:22 amStaggs or Lomax and that’s pretty much how we fix our backline with a single recruit.Danaman137 wrote: ↑October 18, 2020, 12:43 am Anyone got any info on the Staggs situation?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
If we're going to criticise Rapana for some of his poor decisions in defence, which is fair - you need to look at Staggs the same way. Absolutely dynamite in attack **** in defence. Crichton is far and away the best up and coming centre in the game.

Plus he will offer something in attack compared to Croker, who hasn’t covered himself in glory in defence either.
Different story with Crichton.
All irrelevant anyway as we have zero chance of nabbing either.
I’ll bet the Roosters find a way though.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
More than happy to say that Broncos were garbage, but Staggs makes some really bad defensive reads and some really horrible 1 on 1 attempts.GreenMachine wrote:At least acknowledge the dumpster fire broncos team Staggs was playing in.gergreg wrote: ↑October 18, 2020, 11:11 am If we're going to criticise Rapana for some of his poor decisions in defence, which is fair - you need to look at Staggs the same way.

You buy Staggs to improve your strike out wide first and foremost and work on his defensive frailties.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
So the absolutely dynamite in attack might go some way to improving on what we've got though...gergreg wrote: ↑October 18, 2020, 11:11 am If we're going to criticise Rapana for some of his poor decisions in defence, which is fair - you need to look at Staggs the same way.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Sure. But I'll be here to enjoy the whinging about his defensive issues when it inevitably happens. However, Broncos don't tend to lose many of their decent juniors, at least the ones they want to keep.BadnMean wrote:So the absolutely dynamite in attack might go some way to improving on what we've got though...gergreg wrote: ↑October 18, 2020, 11:11 am If we're going to criticise Rapana for some of his poor decisions in defence, which is fair - you need to look at Staggs the same way.

Fifita is the first I can remember for quite some time and it took over a million to lure him away and IMO he isn't worth half that at this stage of his career.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
The GH would turn on Staggs within a month given his defensive work to date
I make room for the idea that he's probably a lot better in that space than he's currently shown given the **** show that is the broncos and the quality of coaching and defensive systems in place... but he's only need to put in 4 games of that jersey grabbing, brown snake shoulder Bull before we'd be declaring him the worst signing since Orford

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Tyrone May would have been an excellent addition and a great long term replacement for JB. I was upset when he re-signed with the riff. He only re-signed for 1 year though, we should be all over that. Charlie Staines would also be a good'un. Aim high I say.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
I don’t think Stagg’s is taking his rehab as seriously as he should be. Might be as a result of the culture he finds himself in but it is concerning.

Geez I’m not sure they’ll turn out to be NRL level players, let alone the stars we need them to be.Neeeegz wrote:Timoko and Smith shields are the future centres... I want them in first grade round 1 next season
I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve seen plenty of super talented young backs not make it. The good backs are usually killing it by the time they’re 19. I saw nothing beyond average for Timoko and HSS.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Looking at the clubs huge forward depth I think the club should have passed on signing CHN and used that $500k on the backline
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
I havent given up on scott. He had a horrible start but started to show signs of improvement before he got injured. His form at the storm was first grade standard. With the court case now settled im hoping he will return to his best.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Xerri is gone for 4 years. CHN is a good pick up because we needed an edge backrower to replace Bateman and we don't have amany. I think he's a good get. What we didn't need so much is for Sia to go around another year and we also didn't really need James. Hopefully James goes so well here that he becomes the automatic #2 prop choice and no one questions that signing next year but we just have so many middles. I'll feel sorry for the borderline rep quality middles that we'll have missing out on the 17 altogether next year!

On the other hand, with all the injuries we had, we actually ran out of front row depth by the end of the season. Papa and Taps were cooked by the Prelim. They had nothing left.
