Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
I am seriously concerned about our lack of external squad turnover as it stands.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
It's like he learnt nothing from sitting on his hands in 2016 and then again recently and watching the squad go stale and get leapfrogged while we try and tread water.Coastalraider wrote: ↑September 5, 2021, 6:54 am I am seriously concerned about our lack of external squad turnover as it stands.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
I think we do need to pick up an outside back but not sure Allan is the best target. If people are looking for speed, he's not our guy. He does provide competition for spots though and you could argue for him getting a spot above several currently in our back five. I think he has the potential to be a better fullback than Charnze but I want to see Savage get a shot there.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
Yeah, for mine outside back is not a priority. At this time we have CNK, Rapana, Croker, Timoko, HSS, Savage, Simonsson, Valemei, Anderson battling it out for 5 spots.Raiders_Pat wrote: ↑September 5, 2021, 11:09 am I think we do need to pick up an outside back but not sure Allan is the best target.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
Croker is bound to drop out of that list. Timoko and Smith-Shields are practically first year rookies, and Savage and Anderson have seem **** all time in first grade. Valemei is a back up option at best at this stage. We can definitely add an outside back. Whether Allan is the right fit is up for debate.Wiki Special wrote: ↑September 5, 2021, 12:04 pmYeah, for mine outside back is not a priority.

1. CNK
2. Xavage
3. HSS
4. Timoko
5. Rapa
Then:
Kris (missing from the list above)
Bailey
Semi
Elijah
That is a strong and exciting first unit with solid replacements.
I like Allan but don’t want him displacing any of the first five and I don’t think he’ll want to move to play Ressies.
The bigger concern (aside from halfback, of course) is the pack.
Our first group is strong:
Papa
Tapine
CHN
Young
Elliott
Sutton
But then we fall of a cliff:
Horse - I really like him but he’s yet to cash in on his potential and prove he can stay fit (in both senses of the word).
Guler - I can handle him in the 18-21 but he shouldn’t be in the 17 if we’re serious.
Then who?
Sia, James, Dunamis and Havili all gone or soon to be. So it’s Rushton and other newbies.
That is a concern.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
Agree with this regarding backs and forwards. Especially about Hors and Guler. Young also needs to find consistency but he can go far if he does.

Whitehead was a plodder and if we think Horse was unfit, so too were Elliott and a few others…
Apart from Tapine and Papa(needs to own it that he is a premier front rower), we had some ok players in Hudson and Sutton, the rest will need to improve for next year….I said all season long we were old and slow and where we finished reflected that.
Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
It's a little bit mystifying why Stuart never gives Whitehead a rest- he started last season gangbusters but limped home with a wet sail. This year he was ok early but then his linebreaks and tryassists and defence fell off a cliff in the final third of the season.
All the middles got regular freshen ups. It's not like Whitehead makes many less runs than them (about 1 less per half) and he makes more tackles. If he is going to remain an edge that might have to be looked at.
I think if we let Sia, Lui and James go and bring in a decent recruit + 2 young forwards to push Hors and Guler our pack should be right to go again. Young found his way back to form- I think he has good potential.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
Tapine, Papalii and Starling should be the only certainties in our forward pack for 2022..
The rest were downright dreadful and our position on the ladder confirmed it.
If there isn't a major reshuffle or injection of new talent for 2022 we'll be here again next season...

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
I mentioned his name as a good potential target about four or five times throughout this season. Another missed opportunity there... although we missed out on him previously so maybe it was a signing too far out of our reach at a reasonable price. Apparently only Manly and the Dragons had offers on the table though. Whatever the case, it's frustrating to see every single club in the league pick up talent while we sit on our hands... hope it's because we have better options up our sleeves but it's hard to be optimistic.Raider_Boy wrote: ↑September 8, 2021, 3:28 pmAhhh we should have got Bullemor.... he is a weapon in the makingRaiders_Pat wrote: ↑September 8, 2021, 2:12 pm Bullemor released by Broncos to sign a three year deal with Manly.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
I hope this is true... I mentioned it recently but if I were coach, I'd be making a big play for a second rower in the class of Kikau, Crichton or Papali'i. That's the type of move that would put us back in the picture provided we can get a halfback in that will do a job for us. We could easily pull this off if Hodgson was released early.UncleDrew wrote: ↑September 8, 2021, 6:35 pm Telegraph linking us with Kikau, one can dream. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/subsc ... de=premium

He was one of the only Broncos that aimed up when he got a chance to play... I didn't watch a lot of their games all the way through but every time I saw him, he played well.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
We're going to be linked with a lot of people.
Everyone knows we have G.Williams and C.Scott salaries right now which can be allocated. Managers dream
If Hodgson bids farewell, it'll only ramp up
We need to understand what this is, and react accordingly. We have money, we will be used to drive up prices.

Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2021
I feel like Kikau is a bit of a pea heart, injects himself only at certain times, although it could be that he's just a power athlete/ impact player and that explains it
I'm not sure he's a Ricky Stuart type player in any case, given how he responds when Tapine misses 150m for one game (ie gets the **** and drops him)

You wouldn't need to play Kikau for more than 60 mins a game. Whitehead can take the other 20 min by splitting time between lock and second row.Canberra Milk wrote: ↑September 9, 2021, 11:38 am I feel like Kikau is a bit of a pea heart, injects himself only at certain times, although it could be that he's just a power athlete/ impact player and that explains it
