Would love scolari and rua upgraded.

Scolari looks very strong.

Scolari is a good player. He played in the forwards as a a junior in union.

He's a great prospect for FG as a winger.
Very fast and elusive.

Hope we see a few of these young guns make their way into grade for us.

He is a good prospect and should be playing grade this year. Just out of curiosity, which winger are we dropping to reserve grade so he can get a run. The $600000 one or the $400000 one.

The one that can't run in the right direction....


Hopefully KOE comes back so Scolari can bet some game time

He is a good prospect and should be playing grade this year. Just out of curiosity, which winger are we dropping to reserve grade so he can get a run. The $600000 one or the $400000 one.

The one that can't run straight.

Hopefully reserve grade is back so he can develop his game and progress through the grades.

Cool. So we will have a $600000 winger in reserve grade for the next 3 or 4 years. Maybe if Hill stays and kicks on also we can have a million dollars siting on our wings in reserve grade. And we wonder why we are a shambles.

Who said he is paid $600k? Man some people just inflate values just to justify their agenda.
Be surprised being that it is a long term deal most people would negotiate a longer contract term if the target salary isn’t possible. I doubt he is owed a backend inflated deal either.

Theg we’re arguing over 50k and an extra year. The offer was 400k so assuming at worst it’s 450k. He was worth it at the time was great that year. Has regressed terribly.

Can’t understand how if they were pushing for both with only ‘talk’ of another offer, that we would offer both. It would of had to of been a negotiation and as we know he got an extra year I doubt he would of got the extra 50k providing he had just been paid that in terms of an additional year of security.

He wanted around that 590 k figure but didn't get it ...despite Lee's love affair with him
 
wouldn't have any issue throwing an offer to Makatoa, 28 with only 5 first grade games but the bloke was a weapon

Good luck to this lad.
Feel like he can really go to a new level at the Raiders.

Good move.
Good on him for challenging himself.
🔥🔥🔥

Good on the Raiders for going and getting the guy they wanted regardless of contract status... (I think he'd not long signed on)
Wish we'd follow suit... We seem to use the old
"Well, There's no one off contract" Then wonder why we can't get good players...

Note to club: Good Players are never off contract!!

If he wants to improve his kicking game he has gone to the perfect place

Ricky had arguably the best kicking game I've ever seen ...better than Lewis even

I’d like to think the players would support who ever won it and if were disappointed, they should work harder to win it next season. Culture problem if true which only reiterates what we already know.

Edit: suspect, not know

Just the usual rubbish from the old drunk
 
I think his 'love' started out as a way of finding a viable alternative to the Sharks relocating, if a Sydney team had to move west. Maybe he hasn't realised that they are introducing a new team, rather than relocating an existing one, in BrisVegas at least. I'd like to think that they'd do the same in WA or NZ if/when a new team gets added to even the numbers up.

I noticed that he conveniently did not mention Cronulla as a possible team under pressure during new clubs coming into the NRL.
 
They'd have to be though. Introduced to 'slow down' St George, located between a merged entity and serial underachievers.

That wouldn't be allowed to happen with all the $ spent on the Woolooware Bay dev, current revamp of the Club and the large shopping mall next door. I think there may be another tower or two to be erected on the eastern side of the club. This is far greater than the NRL.

A large number of fans were outraged, so i've no doubt a few players were equally perplexed as to how Brooks was a co winner ahead of Doueihi. It's an incredibly poor decision that is the equivalent of just painting we accept and celebrate mediocrity on the front of every player's jersey.

Buzz just polarising popular opinion nothing exciting.

I fail to see how any player can afford to point the finger if this rubbish is true.

I preferred his Ivan is Brian Smith article
 
To be honest none of that mob should have got any awards , they should have shamed the ones who gave up chasing when opponents were allowed to stroll round under the posts

The story on Fox says that several players were dumbfounded that Brooks won the award and not Douehi. Can't say that I blame them for being considered confused by that decision
