Awesome news....we need more props to complete the 1 - 13 props starting side project...
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
We run five men’s teams, three at senior level. You need 15-18 middles every week for the three top teams. How being a development club works. Looks like a good prospect who’ll fit in at the club well.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
We love grabbing Knights players/juniors don't we. Tapine, Starling, Young, Levi, Saulo, Sausagi, Garvie

You have to question our recruitment strategy… knights juniors/rejects and middle forwards seems to be the pre-requisite.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
the Knights have an outstanding junior base, unfortunately at the top level their management of junior talent leaves a lot to be desired.UncleDrew wrote:You have to question our recruitment strategy… knights juniors/rejects and middle forwards seems to be the pre-requisite.
Consider these names who should all have been Knights, Latrell, Cordner, Inglis, Willie Mason, Tapine, Z Woolford, Hudson Young, Greg Bird, edit- Payne Hass and TPJ. Max Bradbury the latest kid to be shown the door for a short term deal for Lachlan Miller.
The list goes on in a similar vein to the Raiders.

Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
It always astounds me when fans are critical of signings when they’re 18 year old kids
Sounds like this bloke has a bit of talent and ability, always good to add talent to the club at lower levels

By all reports he's the best prop in the Newcastle comp at only 18yo, not a bad wrap.Botman wrote:It always astounds me when fans are critical of signings when they’re 18 year old kids

And was the leading prop for the Knights in an SG Ball team that made the Grand Final. Looks like a very good signing.bonehead wrote: ↑August 16, 2023, 6:27 pmBy all reports he's the best prop in the Newcastle comp at only 18yo, not a bad wrap.Botman wrote:It always astounds me when fans are critical of signings when they’re 18 year old kids

Garvie and Clydesdale the up and coming props at SG Ball level. Welcome aboard Caleb.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
It is not a bad thing in of itself, however you can be critical when it is literally the only type of player we are signing.
We actually have to sign first grade players at some stage.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
What ever the FG players are or are not pursued are not impacted by this at all. Just a kid that'll go in the system and we'll see in a few years. But we know this club struggles to attract established FG players. Stacking the juniors with talented kids so we can draw on them to help supliment the squad is paramount for a club like ours.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
I’m not saying it isn’t paramount but you can stack as many highly touted juniors as you want but if they walk into a very poor side then they aren’t going to turn it around.Botman wrote: ↑August 16, 2023, 8:05 pmWhat ever the FG players are or are not pursued are not impacted by this at all.

You need a competitive side for them to walk into.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
or like penrith you need a group to come through together with a group behind them

Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
I didn’t see the game last week but Clydesdale looks a massive prospect to me.
Re: Canberra Raiders sign Young prop Caleb Garvie from the Hunter
I was a bit disappointed by his U19's SOO performance, thought the QLD middles won that battle over all... but you could see the talent. Maybe an off game, game flow wasnt great for his stints, maybe those QLD middles are spectacular... idk but his NSW cup performance last week was very good imo

Re: Canberra Raiders sign young Newcastle prop Caleb Garvie
It's both, and it's happening because he's a kid, and a prop.
Quintessential guy you can throw dice at because he should be better over the next 2 years but if it doesn't work out you made the right call in moving him on.
Straight up prop is not an easy call to make from either side.
