Probably a little unlikely but how good would Radradra look in a green jersey?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Not sure if we have the money in the cap, or even the interest, but what about Lachlan Coote?
Slot Coote into fullback, Wighton back to the centres... could be interesting.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Yeah I see your point, it's just that Coote offers quite a bit of playmaking and it seems a few people on here don't like Jack as a fullback. If he wasn't commanding much money, I'd happily have him in green - has always seemed like a quality player.Notaroboticfish wrote: I'd rather having BJ and Croker in the centres than spending money on a player we don't need

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
On fox sports last night saying he was on about 350k.
I'd have him, no doubt, but I just think he's redundant for us at the moment.

but if we did Coote FB JW to left center and Toots to mounties.
Sorry GH i know JC is a protected species around here but with Coote someone has to go.
I have based that decision purely on our front line Defense.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Yeah wighton is very strong at fullback and the position youd move him to is occupied by two very good players. Fullback is not the position we are chasing creativity from as it stands so coote would be a bit of a waste

Stuart isnt going to blow what little money we might have right now chasing Coote. And if he did, Croker wouldn't be the one going to Mounties. You're not dealing in reality hereSwiller wrote:Agree,Raider Bell wrote:On fox sports last night saying he was on about 350k.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Coote will get some club to pay 500 to 650k at his next renewal. Surely Gold Coast will be top of the pile when it comes to buying fullbacks.
Absolutely no need for raiders to spend money on a fullback with our current squad.

Also, I'd rather Wighton at fullback than Coote, so it would be a pretty pointless buy.Notaroboticfish wrote:I'd rather have BJ and Croker in the centres than spending money on a player we don't needtimofy wrote:Not sure if we have the money in the cap, or even the interest, but what about Lachlan Coote?

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
I think Coote offers more at fullback than Wighton, but that doesn't mean we should be chasing him. Jack does just fine and Coote will demand big dollars after last season and continued form this year.

I believe the upside in Wighton at fullback is MUCH higher then Coote's ceiling

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Did anyone see on Sterlo the other night that since Radradra made his debut, he leads the competition in tries, followed by Johnstone, Tupou and then Croker?
He is such an underrated player. Current top point scorer (for a team that came 10th) and in our last four games he has kicked pressure cooker goals from the sideline in two of those to put us in a position to go on and win a game and save a game in another.
But yeah let's punt him to Mounties for a player that really has proved nothing yet, except how often he can get suspended.

Not to mention Radradra gets awarded BS tries on reputation a la the last game last season. While Croker gets disallowed legitimate tries a la saints game last season.

So true. It worked for David Williams and Idris.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
I think he'd be found out at origin level
He's a decent player but he's still got a lot to learn about defence, positioning etc

At least he cuts to the chase.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
He would also lead the pack in tries conceded and by a long margin. Thats always been the issue with JC everything else is solid. No one can deny that his D has been sub standard for a long time and its only been the last couple of seasons that he has improved in my opinion.DJ89 wrote:Did anyone see on Sterlo the other night that since Radradra made his debut, he leads the competition in tries, followed by Johnstone, Tupou and then Croker?

You've got rocks in your head if you think Croker will get dropped to Mounties.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
I'm not talking about Latrell. I'm talking about Cory Denniss, the 18yr old winger from Newcastle. But thanks for naming another one
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2016
Hahaha that's classic JC hate post
Blaming him for a try conceded where his winger raced up and got absolutely no one and Croker has to come across in cover from the side to try and save the day on a winger a metre out from the try line going at full speed
Trevor **** Gillmeister wouldn't have stopped that try
Jesus wept
