NRL Player Movements and Rumours 2014

[Morkel]

He seems quite a talent.

How lucky he is to serve an apprenticeship alongside Smith/Cronk/Slater.

I didn't think he'd been going that well. Injured, dropped for poor form, Ben Roberts is their 6 for now, and I thought they were shopping Hampton around. I guess they have to look to the future and hope he still has room to improve. He's pretty young I think.

Brett White retiring at the end of the season. Increases the Moose to Faders talk, I guess.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wonder if the Raiders throw a bit of cash at Hannant for next season? Ricky Stuart really has gone about recruitment the wrong way IMO. The bigger names were never going to go to Canberra but going after potential with a bit of extra $$$ could have worked. Players do move for opportunity.

 

[Alec]

Faders need a 2nd rower (or rather 2 or 3 of them). They are going about it the way Brett was suggesting at one stage, and it's clearly not working.

2nd rowers are a dime a dozen too, no reason why they only have 1 in Papalii.

 

[Ari Gold]

They still have Fensom. He's a superb lock and would be a NSW rep were he playing for a team like the Roosters or Rabbits.

 

[1910]

Baptiste new two year deal at Raiders.

 

[1910]

Pride 6 Shaun Nona to Storm.

Pride 6 Shaun Nona to Storm.

the Storm seem to be trying to sign every 5/8 around

They've experimented with at least 3 this year, none of whom have looked convincing. They're lucky that they'd likely be able to put a lot of them outside the top 25, on tiny contracts, with the carrot being the one who gets the gig gets to play with the big 3.

I dunno why they didn't give Cody Walker a crack in first grade while he was there to be honest.. maybe there's something I'm missing.

I still rate Hampton as a future prospect, they should persist with him and Cronk in the halves imo.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Cody Walker was injured at the wrong time. I am sure he was about to get picked then he picked up an injury.

They're losing Walker so they have Hampton and Nona. One playing NRL and one playing for Easts.

Walker has been injured and just came back off the bench last week, Hampton was suspended and injured and hasn't played much football at all.

Not too sure about that. Walker isn't always as professional as you'd like.

 

[Ari Gold]

The Raiders have signed Josh Hodgson and Soliola from the ESL. I'm sure Raiders fans must be doing cartwheels at such big name signings. Maybe the ESL don't have a take backsies rule?

Tapatalk shows the first 20 chars or so of the latest post, and yours read "The Raiders have signed Josh Ho...". That was a wild ride for 3 seconds!

Not an edge player though. They only reallty have 1 in Papalii.

Also I believe he might have done his ACL.

 

[Fozz]

Soliola is the ex-Rooster, right? He's done quite well over there.
