Raiders reportedly interested in Dylan Brown
Canberra Raiders eye Paulo and Brown
Parramatta stars Dylan Brown and Junior Paulo are being courted by the Canberra Raiders. The Daily Telegraph understands Canberra has engaged in internal discussions about lodging big money offers to Brown and Paulo, who can be formally approached by rival clubs from November 1.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Wouldn’t mind Paulo for some ball playing ability in the middle third but doubt he’d want to come back to the raiders

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
It’s funny, I asked Junior why he was leaving at a members function when he had signed with Parra cause I thought he wanted out of Sydney and he said Salary Cap issues had to free up some space for the club but said he would return to Canberra after his contract. But I thought he was taking the piss

Junior certainly had a lot of time for the Raiders fans. I always found him to be a good bloke.
Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Junior is a terrific bloke and actually told me he sees himself back in raiders colours one day.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Surprising that we would release to the media our internal discussions, when we are only considering making an offer. We are probably aiming to get some of their other players. I wouldn't mind having another Papa in our team, and he's played better than our current second rowers.
I'm for both joining at the right price as our team would improve. Getting another rep level prop is strange as it comes with the price tag as that's the one area I think we are strong on.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Do we really need Paulo?
I think if there is one position we are pretty OK on it is the prop rotation. Unless Tapine's mrs has had enough and would like to coach elsewhere.

Brown has got one try assist all year. Then Moses being injured exposed him all the more - he can't playmake. He's the wrong guy

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Yes. We need a good ball playing 5/8.
Am I being sarcastic? Or serious? Or both? Sarcirious? Seritastic?
Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
What's Paulo going to be potentially on? And why do we need to adding middles to our football team?
Dont mind the player but just not a requirement for this team
As for Brown... we need someone who can use the football... we have ball runners. We have them coming out of our ****. Up and down the roster we have ball runners... We need someone who can actually read the defence and make the correct pass. I know that's hard to find, but thats what we need and Brown isnt that

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
That's what I thought. As you suggest though, it may be around future roster move e.g. letting Tapine go. Looking forward we may need to shore up this position if that's the case. Sia also likely to retire. James probably moved on. Hors has struggled this year and often injured. Guler is OK without being a top liner. Not sure we have anyone else coming through the ranks. Paulo's presence could be a nice upgrade to support our most bankable guys like Paps and Sutton.Mickey_Raider wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 10:04 am Do we really need Paulo?

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Yep. I thought I read Mullholland's message about still looking in England those weeks ago as him using it as a solution for the defence reading/passing/structure issue (i.e. even looking at English Rugby for talent), but then Don Jr appears to have shot that to pieces saying they are developing a young halfback (which we can safely assume is Schneider).Botman wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 10:24 am As for Brown... we need someone who can use the football... we have ball runners.

+1 for me on this. Fit Paulo is good player, chubby Paulo will struggle with the new game - we aren’t desperate for either I wouldn’t have thought.Botman wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 10:24 am What's Paulo going to be potentially on? And why do we need to adding middles to our football team?

Are we trading him or Tapine?
Have we decided that with Hodgo at 13 for long periods we can't have workhorse middles, we need impact ones?
As for Brown. I'm with you. We don't need a 2nd running half. We need an organiser, a kicker, a creator.
That said... if the rotation is Papa, Tarpz, JrP, and the halves are Brown and Jack, the game plan is smash the front door down and play from offloads.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
I’m not sure any player only available to play every second game is viable. Far too disruptive no matter how good the player. If that eventuates I’d say it’s hard decision time and Paulo probably is a good poor mans Papa.Matt wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 12:39 pmCan Papa only play every 2nd game next yr?Botman wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 10:24 am What's Paulo going to be potentially on?

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.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
I never thought Junior would come back here. Whilst I didn’t think we need more middle forwards, he plays big minutes and has ball playing ability, which we could use

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
We'd have to be moving on a few players but I don't think that necessarily means it must be Tapine or Papalii... I feel like Ricky wants four props in the rotation that can all contribute at a high level. It's why he splits Papa and Tapine instead of playing the two of them as our starting props imo, I don't think he would trust a second unit of say Guler and Sutton. And I suspect that's why his bench rotation is so poor... he wants to keep the players who are performing on the field for too long.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
James is $400,000, Sia $250,000, Dunamis $250,000 - so this pays for Junior Paulo
But I thought he didn't like living in Canberra and there were rumours after his second season (2017) that he wanted to return to Sydney?

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Great moves, I hope we get them done.
JP - Insurance policy for Tapine.
DB - Great defender and support player. Allows us to move JW to lock or second row. Doesn't prevent us from adding a ball playing halfback.

And I agree with your salary maths...you replace 3 squaddies with a premier prop and bring in youngsters to fill the gaps.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Pretty sure James was reported as $350k. Replace those first 2 with $150k fringe players and you have $300k net cap room. That means only $550k to replace Lui with Paulo. Gettingbn close but might need to dip into some other cap space to make that happen.GreenMachine wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 3:16 pmHe was moved for cap reasons and has stated to many people privately he would return.Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑August 6, 2021, 2:57 pm James is $400,000, Sia $250,000, Dunamis $250,000 - so this pays for Junior Paulo

If we lose Nami, Hors, Havilii, James and Sia- replace most with budget contract juniors we'd be refreshing the squad and between James and Sia and the little bits of savings on the others mentioned we might get near a Junior Paulo contract I suppose, at this stage of his career.
He's a good player but it'd need to be integral to a play style shift to make much sense.
Dylan Brown is very quick but very limited in skill set and gamesense from what I've seen. Poor mans Jack Wighton.

That's a fair amount of cap. It's also a lot of older players past their best.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
James is contracted for next year.
Is there any actual basis to the claim he is moving on or is this just the next iteration of "Sia to welfare officer" and "Sam Williams to assistant coach"?
All are assumptions people have repeated enough that now they are treated as fact.

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in Junior Paulo and Dylan Brown
Paulo is a play for 2023 and not next year. So James having one more year doesn't change that. Broncos were looking at recruiting James for 2022 but we may have to pay some freight.
Hopefully we can terminate Scott to save more money. Croker needs to have a straight talk with Ricky and Don as well.
Wouldn't surprise me that we try to sign both Paulo and Brown for 2023 but ask them to agitate to leave and join us in 2022.
