Canberra’s KOE back line is better than our first grade backline WTF
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
That’s how I see it also and exactly why we should be looking to pinch one or two of them.
I believe the whole 4 of them are NRL quality, I know the Eels are trying to get Harley Smith-Shields.
Schiller has previously played some highly impressive NRL games as has Savage.
If we had both of them as our starting NRL wingers it would be a massive upgrade on what we currently have.

We should definitely shoplift him
Makes you wonder what Brooks, who we could have flicked to Newy, did better for us than Clune, who we could have bought for 15% of his salary, would have dished up?
no def not

13 wins is the benchmark to be close to the top 8. With new halves I am confident we can achieve that goal. We had a crap year in the halves and couldn't beat the easy beats. Yet we smashed the Cows and beat the minor Premiers with their best team on the paddock.

Schiller has family history at the Raiders as he is related to the Mullins' family.
Yes not comparing any of our players to Pongha just making an observation how the whole team has found form - under arguably the most maligned coach not to be sacked -including Pongha.
Best, Crosslands,Young, Clune ,Gamble Marzew all playing their best footy and at the beginning of the year it wouldn't have been considered a backline that would be an attacking weapon - let alone being able to step up when key players are injured. I'd be very surprised if anyone predicted they would finish 5th ahead of more fancied teams.
Plenty were tearing strips off us when we were beat narrowly in both games as if we should have beaten them, now the position people are taking is they have a much stronger squad than ours.

Every name mentioned strengthens our squad. I could put an argument forward for each player.
Lawton could be the ideal #14. Plays backrow & hooker. Tuilagi is talented- regardless of any bad feeling toward him leaving. Condon is promising as well. Weekes has the speed we lack. Fulton is the type of effort player this club needs too.

Any or all of these guys could help the club. Smith-Shields & Savage would be a nice combination on one side for us.

I hope we get Weekes. He seems a likely type for us.
I think we all have a suspicion that at the Storm Tuilagi and Schuster would be standouts. Interesting both are appear to be unwanted.

Weekes is a big yes for me. Pass on Lawton, Tuilagi and Condon. Fulton will inevitably be linked to us with Scott as recruitment manager. However, I don't think we have a top 30 spot for him with Mansfield and Tumeth already "project players" in the 2nd row (unless of course, 1 or both are moved on).
