Pretty sure the Raiders were trying to get rid of Timoko earlier in the season.
I’d take either him or Kris. They can’t fit everyone into their back five when fully fit. Kris probably offers a bit more versatility.

Was only a matter of time
In other news Richard Penisini has explained that his surname is sounded thus - the 'Pen' is sounded as 'Sm", the 'I' normally, the 'si' is sounded as 'th' and the rest is silent. Commentators should refer to him as Dick Smith. His parents are still in hiding.Like Junior Paulo the P in Penisini is sounded as a B ,and the 1st I is silent . Pronounced Bensini .
I heard him on the ABC radio explaining it .
Surprised it hasn't become the way commentators pronounce it.
Sounds like something they made up to try and stop bullying, I would know, my own surname is easily made fun of…..same with a female friend of mine….who,actually had their surname changed. It’s probably pronounced as it’s spelt speaking from experience.In other news Richard Penisini has explained that his surname is sounded thus - the 'Pen' is sounded as 'Sm", the 'I' normally, the 'si' is sounded as 'th' and the rest is silent.

So you were bulliedSounds like something they made up to try and stop bullying, I would know, my own surname is easily made fun of…..same with a female friend of mine….who,actually had their surname changed. It’s probably pronounced as it’s spelt speaking from experience.
Lol in my day everybody got bullied, didn’t matter who you were. Everybody copped shit. We weren’t snowflakes back then. Hell I’m not even that old..early 40’sSo you were bullied...
That explains some of your comments on here.
Don’t put the sad face on or feel sorry for me please…….they really were better times.So you were bullied...

So given Jensen is sadly unlikely to come back, attention turns to desperately needing a front rower next year.
What about Josh Papalii as a stop gap? Toby Rudolph? Morgan Gannon?
I hope the Kaiden Lahrs rumours actually had some basis.
Its slim pickings for next year.

Ata Mariota is somehow still off contract... can't see raiders letting him go (especially with Papa retiring), but broncos could try and poach him... he's definitely ready to be a starter and Ricky hasn't been doing that.
Other than that it's not necessarily horrendous when you think that we're after someone that can be on a bench... Willison and Barney as starters next few years... Patty can always transition there as well.
I want Kaiden Lahrs... he's ready for a position in the 17 and isn't getting that at cows... he'll definitely get a spot in the 17 at broncos and possible future starter.
Michael Molo is probably worth a shout... he was spending 80mins on the edge a few times last year, but has been unsighted. There might be some untapped potential there.
Tom Ale has been around for a few years and at his second team at the moment, but another one that might have some untapped potential
From there you've got a guy like Guler who is a bit of a loose cannon, but can be ok off the bench, which is basically what we're after. He's got a little bit of poor man's Klemmer about him though, so he's a type of player that is probably being phased out.
Sam Hughes can't really get a start at dogs, but he seems pretty solid.
Toby Rudolf would be another who shows good signs and I'd consider him a decent get, but he probably wants to be a starter and bigger role, which could mean a bigger contract... and I'm not sure he's worth that
That's probably it... Uele can be someone that has flashes, but definitely has instances of hands like feet, and doesn't really get through minutes... but sharks have been running 4 forward benches for awhile so I don't know if low minutes means he has shit fitness or if sharks just can't find minutes for them all when they stack their bench.
Yeah i know... I'm from that era....Lol in my day everybody got bullied, didn’t matter who you were. Everybody copped shit. We weren’t snowflakes back then. Hell I’m not even that old..early 40’s
Maybe... I'm not sure I'd want him, but we'd probably get more value out of him over someone like Jhunt.I think Guler has signed with ESL?
I'll put whatever face I want!Don’t put the sad face on or feel sorry for me please…….they really were better times.
Yes. Absolutely. Though the word “better” may not be entirely correct. You grow a thicker skin. Wouldn’t you agree?Yeah i know... I'm from that era....
Do you actually think you are better for being bullied?
Ok you can feel sorry for me then. I’ll set up a gofundme page and give you the details if your concern is that great.I'll put whatever face I want!
I will feel sorry for whomever I want!
That's your opinion.
I have mine.
To add to this call me a name today and I will just laugh and not give a shit………some people call the cops over name calling these days and have the offender charged.Yes. Absolutely. Though the word “better” may not be entirely correct. You grow a thicker skin. Wouldn’t you agree?
Everybody used to give each other shit, didn’t matter who you were. And you weren’t given some metrosexual label for doing it, it was all in fun….mostly.
We live in a lucky country you know, here most of it was done in fun.
