I doubt that but 2-2 sounds 100% better than 0-4

It does but they aren’t 2-2 because Hastings is in their side.

What good does it do for us to make the Sharks pay more? The rationale is hard to understand? No players of his calibre will come to us - it's just not going to happen for light years.

So we just give up , even if we make them pay $200,000 more in the long run it will help . But we just can’t stick our heads in the sand and do nothing

Dally M winner Jack Wighton has dropped a bombshell on the Canberra Raiders by informing the club he is placing himself on the open market for the first time in 14-years.

Thank god, (Tim), we extended Douhie when we didn’t need to.
Now a better version of AD is available and we stuck with him for another year.

Just had a thought uncle nic will hear wighton is available, Luke keary will be mysteriously medically retired, and out will come another brown paper bag with wightons name on it

They'll jump on Hynes.....

 

[Speed2burn]

Wighton is declining imo

Still better than what we’ve got but doubt he’d get us out of this mess

We need someone like hynes

 

[Needaname]

He

He is 30 and looking for a 5 year deal $1m+ per year... I'd give him 3 years max at $850 p.a

Maybe Parra are looking at him as a possible fullback or 5/8 with Brown at Fullback.

Uncle Nik immediately fires up the grill.

Nik texts: Hey Jack it’s me mate, come over for dinner and I’ll tell you how we’re rigging the competition to win a few premierships over the next few years and how you can be a part of the “famed tri-colours”

Jack: sounds good mate but you can’t afford me.

Nik: Under the salary cap, no you’re right we can't. Under the Sombrero though you bet we can. I’ll tell you more over a steak. See you at 6.

think 2024 Sheens will re-sign Brooks around the bye week (it is pretty close to being done, further 2 years)

Go after Wighton

Brooks better not be re-signed. I know you want him to stay but surely he can’t be kept. What has he done other than fail that’s worthy of an extension?

If they even attempt to re-sign Brooks the entire COE may literally get burnt to the ground.

Realistically, he should never play first grade again for us. 10 years of failure and excuses. He's barely NSW Cup level until he proves differently. Drop him, hope he find some mojo, but until then keep him a million miles from first grade.

There's not a single player in our top 30 that the club should be looking to extend currently.

I hope we finally tell Brooks to take a hike.

Having Doeuihi contracted gives us a bargaining chip with other clubs for potential swap deals (as long as player is happy to move as well which I'm sure AD would in most scenarios).

see if I am wrong demps

Wighton would be another expensive mistake.

He doesn't improve the side enough for the price we would have to pay for him to consider moving to Concord.

a great centre but not a great 6
just dint think SL clubs will let Williams or Welsby go without massive transfers so kind of rules both of them out.

You’ve been wrong about all of your incoming info so we should be ok then.

I agree.

If those two are our best mid to long term bets, then you pay them.

Memberships bring money. Winning brings memberships. Quality spine players bring wins.

Are you winding us up or do you have the inside word?

Also, as talented as Wighton may be, he's not an organising half. And nor is Brooks as the last 10 years have made abundantly clear.
