Curtis Scott, jaysus, what are Raiders doing, he's a new Todd Carney.

Roosters going hard for Doueihi apparently. So glad we don’t have guys like Politis and Robinson running our club. They’ve clearly got no idea what talent is!

I think you are misrepresenting the views of many on here. I don't think anyone is suggesting that AD is not a talented young footballer. And most would be happy for him to join the club. The issue is the price. If it's true that he wants a four year deal and $600k next year, then many of us think that it's too much at this stage of his career.

so why do we see things differently to the Roosters? Why do they feel like he is worth talking to assuming he’s asking the same thing.


“Many of us think that it’s too much at this stage of his career”.

At what stage then would he be worth his asking price?
We lost Moses who thought he was worth $800k. We thought that was too much at his stage of his career. Eels thought they would encourage Moses to live up to his own expectations rather than putting him down.

Thats not quite correct mate. Moses had a contract worth at least 800k at WT sitting there for nearly 12 months. He never put pen to paper, Cleary came in got Brooks signed and withdrew Moses' offer. It should be remembered, The uncle/cousin whetever the grub is that is his manager, vowed to bring WT to their knees and had a red hot crack at it.

If we are still after a fullback we should have a look at the Storm fullback (3rd in line) Nicho Hynes .. should plenty in his few games that he played last season.

Totally agree re Haynes, he goes good, goal kicker too

i think AD is alot like Gamble looked ok all hype yet nothing. He probably wont get a run with souths barring injury 8f he gets desperate after playing reserves then we can look at him. If he is smart he probably.sits at souths a d waits for Latrell to bomb out at fullback the he can slot in there
We can do better than a fringe first grader in AD
At least joey leiluia is a proven tackle buster throw him the ball and see what he can do at 28 it is a very good honest solid signing.

I reakon they will play him as as a forward bring him on late in the first and second half kinda like Melbourne did with paps early In the seasond

Just my opinion , but it looks to me that Moses lived up to his own expectations, rather than the lower expectations of WT.

Yes he always had high opinion of his talents.
But no matter how good or bad he turns out to be ... he’s not a person I want anywhere near our club. Pretty much same tag I would pin on to guys like Matterson and Mitchell.


There would be very few nrl players who don’t have high expectations of their own ability. If their club doesn’t see that as a quality worth fostering Then obviously there will be conflict. At the same time I can understand that coaches want coach able players.

It’s not his expectations that I have a problem with.
You Just need to wind back the clock and see how he acted during the lat few months he was with us. Unforgivable!

How can you put AD and Gamble in the same sentence AD is proven first grader and Gamble struggled in CC

I agree there ..... lots of upside with this kid.

For WestsTigers fans wondering what Curtis Scott overnight drama means for Joey Leilua deal, apparently nothing. In fact🐯🐯tipped to make announcement he’s on board later today ...

Such a shame I grew up with Curtis always been a champion bloke but he has always been keen on a fight

The NRL is today dealing with another potential off-season scandal following the overnight arrest of Canberra Raiders’ star recruit Curtis Scott.

Club officials have yet to inform the NRL integrity unit that Scott was locked up in Sydney overnight following an incident with police after a boozy Australia Day celebration.

He is facing charges of resisting arrest after being approached by police in the Moore Park area.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart was informed of the drama at 9.45am today.


Scott joined the Raiders after being granted an early release by Storm, two years before his contract expired.

It is a blow for the Raiders who released another centre Joey Leilua to the Wests Tigers over the weekend.

The former Melbourne Storm star has spent the long weekend in Sydney catching up with family and old mates.

He also had drama on Saturday night at the Clovelly Hotel where he was searched on the footpath outside the premises in a random police drug check.

He was found to have had nothing in his possession, according to his manager Sam Ayoub.

The Daily Telegraph is awaiting comment from the Raiders and NSW Police.

Only last week Scott spoke in a Fox Sports interview about why he enjoyed playing for a club outside of Sydney.

“(Signing with Canberra) was to stay out of the Sydney rat-race and the Sydney fishbowl,” he said, “It’s a good place to just concentrate on footy and at the moment, that’s the most important thing – apart from my family – that’s going on in my life,”

So let me get this straight, the tweet that went out yesterday morning regarding Scott was in relation to an incident on Sat which he was later cleared. Instead of taking caution, he has since been arrested for an entirely different situation?
Is he trying to get out of a bad contract with Canberra?

I rate Moses really highly as a player. I think he’s got a heap of talent. But as a person he’s a shocker. Tanking like he did for us is unforgivable. Such a poor display of character.

Moses is a dead set frontrunner. Looks like a diamond when his team are giving someone a flogging but he is a peaheart sook when things aren't going the best. He's a Kyrgios of the footy field.
Don't rate him much for that reason alone.
