I believe we've done well to get two excellent players from a leading club.

It has the makings of a competitive team. The spine will be good next year. We have unearthed and blooded some young talent who should be better next year. What is missing though is an impact, starting front rower, another damaging edge forward and a classy outside back.

How many you reckon they missed?
The Leilua try at Cambo is the one that sticks in my guts… against the warriors maybe?

Didn’t even care to look…
Was a close game.

I think back to the Matt Utai knock on off the kick off that lead to a try against us and cost us a top 8 position in 2004... been happening a lot longer than the last 5 years.

An important fact in what you say is he's 26. So he's not over-the-hill and I reckon will be motivated to right the wrongs of this year, especially if he's given a leadership role at his new club.

Absolutely. I hope we land Corey. I swear both times we played Raiders last year he saved 3 or 4 tries against us just from effort plays alone. He was a player I was hoping was out against us in our games this year.

He gets picked in the 13 jersey each week without hesitation, is a physical presence on the field and will have a dig/put in the effort plays. At 26 he should be still coming into some of his best years as a forward too.

Sure there might be the odd hot headed penalty given away, but let's be honest, the refs will ping us for something regardless of him being there or not.

For me, going after him is a no brainer and helps us start to build a stronger pack.

If he signs then I prey you are right and I'm wrong.

I think St George will finally sign someone and it will be him . He's a flanno type player . Would be good to get him but I like st Georges chances over us

Hi mate I totally agree we need a goer in the pack and he is exactly that

Walker would be great utility value. Can play lock, hooker, five eight, centre, probably second row at a pinch. Has a touch of class too having been previously a half / five eight. In fact, he's a beeter player than the Bulldogs utility signings, and those have worked our pretty well for them.
I would pass on Horsburgh. All he has going for him is "angry". Can you imagine the penalty count between him and Seyfarth and even worse if Bateman returns. Nathan Brown would have been a much better angry option, but we passed on the opportuntiy to sign him last offseason. Of the players that have apparently been given permission to look elsewhere, the only one I would think about is Shaun Lane. And only then on a 2 year deal. At least he would be another big, mobile body on the edge to complement Fainu, and he has an offload in him as well. Not bad targets for Luai and Galvin to be able to hit close to the line.

Ur jumping all over horsburgh , he really only got himself in trouble with the refs yes year . He was good enough to play SOO and was the raiders best player for a couple of years . Maybe something has upset him down in Canberra and that’s why he’s gone of the rails , he is what we need get over this , we don’t want this one because he gives away penalties, or he’s got a off the field record , if the NRL will register them then it’s good enough for me
