Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Chanel Harris-Tavita to have crucial contract talks with Warriors next week
Chanel Harris-Tavita and his management will have crucial talks with the Warriors next week, where his future at the club will be decided. At least three NRL clubs are showing interest in Chanel Harris-Tavita, with the Raiders one of them.

Interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita (among other clubs) according to this.
He's improved this year imo. If he doenst turn out to be a first grade half I think he'd still be a good depth option and a guy that could probably fill the utility role pretty well given he defends really well and can play halves, Hooker centre, also filled in at fullback early this season and i reckon in a year or two he could handle Lock.
Can't see him staying at the warriors with Johnson, Metcalf, Volkman , Dylan Walker and probably Asi already being in the first grade squad.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
I haven’t watch enough of him to pass judgment, but a little concerned there is already a suggestion that if he isn’t a half he has utility value. No doubt you need a good utility but you don’t need 13 utilities. We need good specialist spine players and I think we’d be better going hard at that than spreading ourselves too thin on maybes or possibly players. That said others will have watched him more than me and perhaps he is the answer. The strategy of targeting kiwis with three names hasn’t been entirely horrible.
Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Get him under the Destroyer of Halves and you’ll definitely have a utility on your hands by mid-season

I don't think CHT will move the needle that much. Much prefer if we went to the UK and enquired about someone like Jai Field (who can play in the halves and FB) who has speed or another half

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
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.

An effort player who can defend, aka a Sticky type player. I'd rather throw the bank at Drinkwater

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Do we have any other player at all that can play in a spine position and also in the forwards/backs? Not including Wighton as hes our 5/8 without question, No you don't need 13 utilities but 1 or 2 would give you decent options and put pressure on Fogarty who isn't exactly a locked in guaranteed success story as our halfback moving forward.Billy Walker wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 9:07 am I haven’t watch enough of him to pass judgment, but a little concerned there is already a suggestion that if he isn’t a half he has utility value.

I didn't really rate CHT heading in to this season but I reckon he's developed a fair bit, especially his kicking and ball playing which in past seasons was pretty poor

Sign him up!
Ricky loves courage and effort (C&E).
The dude played half a game with a busted nut.
That's a hell of a lot of C&E right there!

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Talented players that get spat out of the Warriors system are usually a good bet. Similar to the Tigers rejects.
I've always liked his attitude on the field. Similar to Blake Austin before we picked him up. His kicking game (or lack thereof) won't help us, but I'm always for adding talented depth in those key positions.
Let's face it, we aren't ever signing an elite half to this club, so this is the type of player we should be gambling on.

CHT never developed the way most hoped. He is better than Sammy and Frawley, probably Schnieder too. But he is a backup, not a starter

Yep. He's an upgrade on our backups. Fogarty is our 1st stringer.

He'd be on first string money at the Warriors. I don't think we'd be signing him as a backup.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Isn't that the point though. Warriors don't think he is worth what they are paying? So, maybe he wants 1st grade, and starter money, but who is willing to pay him that way?Roger Kenworthy wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 5:06 pm He'd be on first string money at the Warriors.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Three clubs are chasing him apparently. Not sure of the last time three NRL teams were chasing a NSW Cup half - guys like Williams and Frawley don't generally attract substantial competition.Matt wrote: ↑May 7, 2022, 10:10 pmIsn't that the point though.

He's a poor man's JW to me so I really don't understand our interest.

He is also 23, where Sammy is 31 and Frawlz 27.

Apparently we are interested in signing CHT from the Warriors. He just rejected a two year extension from them.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Well we won't be signing CHT. He's decided to take a break from the game after this season at the ripe old age of 23.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Respect that decision. Would be very easy to take the money whilst its there but if his heart isnt in it, he should walk away at least temporarily.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
yea absolutely. he's probably waving goodbye to 4-500k, that's ballsy for a guy still recovering from a ruptured testicle.
not many young guys would do that, hopefully it makes him happier and he comes back in a year or two.
Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
I reckon he's just realised there are plenty of kids who would give their left nut to play NRL, but he's not one of them.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
Signing Nathan Brown as coach looking like a huge mistake. Who woulda thunk it.
Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Chanel Harris-Tavita
You can sort of see this in his game over the last 12 months. I was a huge fan and had gone very cold on the idea of him coming to Canberra.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Give ‘em a generous 3 year contract - it’s what we do! Long term, costly contracts for 2nd grade players

I hope he returns to the game bigger and better. It's a shame. I think a change of scenery at a different club could have helped him.

Loving the Greenhouse recruitment drive of 2021. If the inmates were in charge of the asylum we'd now have two more years of bumbling Dufty, SJ prowling the field like an 80-yr old and CHT pulling a Matt Rua on us.
