Raiders player signing speculation 2016

Post by greeneyed »

What this thread is for: It is for all the idle speculation and discussion about players people would like to sign for the Raiders. Substantiated stories about players the club is linked to: they will have their own threads, with links to credible sources.

People enjoy speculating about who the club should ideally sign, and then debating it, and that is what you'll find in this thread.. or unsubstantiated questions posed on radio talk back etc etc.

It is fun. But all threads of the nature: "Joe Blogs is off contract in 2020, wouldn't it be great to sign him" will be merged into this thread by the moderators.

Have fun speculating... but remember... it's a speculation thread!

Rumour is Jennings to parra for 16. Surely they will have to release some players. Maybe an exciting young prop who has already signed elsewhere for 17?

You would think if the Jennings rumour has any truth then Parra will have free up another player.

would parra still be paying a certain chunk of Hoppa's money? and would that be part of the salary cap?

I know Parra were excited because it was the first season they would not have any of the players moved on by Sticky being included in their cap lol

we haven't even signed Paulo for 2017 yet...The whole Jennings thing seems a bit far fetched to me

:lol: Yeah, that's not typically how player movement goes down at the Roosters. Can't be true.

Roosters are struggling to keep Cordner now that Manly has got a salary sombrero. Letting Jennings go a year early might make sense.

Yea the idea is to upgrade, extend and front load Cordner to fend off Manly. Also to make room for SBW in 2017. Moley has posted it, and a few Parra fans at LU seem confident of it, but I think it all started at The Chookpen so who knows? Lot of smoke though.

Haven't made my mind up yet on this one but big Willie still looking for a club. My gut says no but we're starting to get desperate......

I don't think we are desperate for a prop but we will be in trouble if Lima AND FPN play like they did in 2015.

Forcing them to upgrade JWH may have also worked in our favour here.

FPN has mostly always been lazy and the reviews from super league on Lima are alarming.....
If we could get Mason cheap I reckon he may be worth a shot for 12 months. Would also bring some publicity (hopefully all good!) to the club.

A big no from me for Mason. The guy doesn't deserve to wear our jersey and I also think it's a zero percent chance of happening.

I think the club is working on getting a release for Paulo. It will be interesting to see whether they can pull it off.

The Dogs are apparently trying to offload Lloyd Perrett. Might not be a bad pick up and we have chased him before.

Agree don't want that scum in our jersey especially since he has bagged Canberra as a city and the culture of our club

No to Mason from me as well. I hope that we chase Sam Moa for next year, he is a beast.

Moa and Paulo would be sensational. I believe there's a lot going on behind the scenes for us to get Paulo here for 2016 if possible. I'm being told he's already signed for 2017 but there has been no announcement yet as they are still trying to get him for 2016..
