Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Ikavalu 2019 was very ordinary but looked much improved 2020, I couldn't spend my cash on him over current prospects at the club

Ikuvalu is 28 next year. Plodder status - definitely not a prospect. Tuipulotu is 20 with potential. They're in two different categories...

There you go. I had no idea he was 28. Looked OK from what I saw in that game.Raiders_Pat wrote: ↑November 25, 2020, 11:09 am Ikuvalu is 28 next year. Plodder status - definitely not a prospect. Tuipulotu is 20 with potential. They're in two different categories...

From memory Henry was a classic running 5/8th and Robbie was a stocky, solid hooker. But i dont think Elliot ever coached Robbie
Henry was an incredible player. Had absolutely everything. He would have been a star wherever he played. Big loss when he went to union.
Robbie played mostly as a half, but he never quite nailed down a place. Defence wasn't quite good enough for full back or hooker and he couldn't run a game at half.
Had an electric, elusive running game, though. He was well suited to SL and might have struggled in the NRL.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Yeah its a shame for us here in Aus (and great for the ESL) that Henry Paul never tested himself in the NRL. I think he would have more than held his own and been better appreciated for the player he was.

John Folau signed a one year deal with Blacktown Sea Eagles (the affiliate, not the Manly Sea Eagles) for 2020: https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/john-f ... 4f6723a5e7
So, nothing by the looks.
These guys aren’t doing anything either... though Benji apparently has an offer to go to England.

Albert Hopoate touring the Raiders facilities
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
He's been taken off the Sea Eagles website so he's going somewhere. He's big but not real fast, not sure if we need him with Simo, Semi and Elijah Anderson all in the "young winger" category.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Brendan Elliot would be a good cheap pickup for a club. We don’t need him with us having Rapana. But I think he’s a very decent back up outside back in the Michael Oldfield mould.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
I've only seen a little bit of him but if he's $130K and we have the room, I don't think it hurts to have another 19 year-old with a few NRL games under his belt.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
The source is “personal sources” of Clarkey’s Column. It could right... but I’d be taking it with a grain of salt.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
If Albert signed then between him, James and Hodgson there's 6 acl injuries.
Thought he looked pretty average in the few games he played. Would rather see HSS, Timoko, BS or even Kris

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
I’m all for Hopoate. Has had huge wraps and would be bargain basement.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Yeah im with julian on this. I like kicking the tyres of young, super talented kids
He's got injury history and you'd have to say his odds arent great at panning out right now, but for the minimum salary, it's genuine talent in the outside backs, which we could use.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Hull FC is the team offering Benji a deal...
According to Fox, the NRL has still not finalised the salary cap for 2021 or squad numbers!

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
the wraps were before he did his acl twice. Came back and looks slower than his brother.
Manly tried loaning him off to the warriors even when their backline was completely busted which says to me they don't think much of him.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Poor, pissweak character that we're better off without if he rejects us from here then.

Why is he a pissweak character? I get all the Hopoate boys confused
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Because Mansour once visited our facilities and didn't sign with us. The coward! Some posters still begrudge him the right to ever hypothetically sign with us to this day.Raiders666 wrote: ↑December 1, 2020, 8:07 pm Why is he a pissweak character? I get all the Hopoate boys confused

I'd take Albert Hopoate on near minimum wage for sure
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
Apparently, they let him sign with the warriors but then suli got injured and then they changed their mind. Ended playing 5 first grade games for them but i get the feeling he was pretty dirty at how they treated him. As much as his old man grates me, id be happy to sign him on circa 100k. There is a wing spot for the taking

Hoppa has plenty of competition for a wing spot.
Rapana, Semi, and Old Bailey for starters..

According to Danny Weidler on Twitter
BREAKING : @NRL_Bulldogs table a 4 year deal for Josh Addo-Carr. Above $2m. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine
How much did they pay for Cotric again?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2020
So $650k for Cotric, $700k for DWZ and $500k for JAC.
That's $1.85mill for three wingers.

Hopoate is coming into the last year of his contract as well, that's a tidy $800-900k a season.

Who are the Bulldogs halves next season? No point have elite backs if there's no one to deliver the ball to them.
