Waqa has back flipped on Stuart and is going to French rugby

Haha are you serious? if you are you have made my day. That would be hilarious

Yeah I'm 100% serious. Waqa isn't a world beater and I don't think it's a major loss but it's still funny because of Ricky.

Apparently his manager has denied it. The way Raiders fans acted about the Milford situation, I'm hoping it's true though.

Nah it's a load of crap both Waqa and his manager have denied it, they haven't spoken to union for 3years and there is no clause. Similar shit happened before our last game against Parra, just a case of the media making any shit up to stick the boot into Canberra and Ricky which has been the trend this year.

On Austin I'd be happy to have him in the halves with Cornish, a more traditional halves combo of one organiser and one runner. He's shown a lot of potential but like Wighton his career has suffered due to their versatility. A spine of 1. Wighton 6. Austin 7. Cornish 9. Hodgson I could get excited over, young but full of potential and hopefully means McGroan will never be seen in the 17 again.

McCrone at hooker doesn't go so bad IMO. He is still pretty shit though. Was surprised when you re-signed him for 2 years. Plenty of young talent at Canberra but they do need to make some astute signings. Not sure if Ricky is the man for the job but with the young talent at his disposal he could see the Raiders bounce back quickly if the likes of Cornish, Wighton and Vaughan take it to the next level next season.

 

[Ari Gold]

Canberra have had good young talent forever. Dugan, Carney, Milford etc. They do a shit job of developing it though and compared to recent years their juniors are actually of poorer quality IMO.

That's a bit unfair. Any club would love to have any of those players, let alone all 3 at once.
I feel for the Raiders for all the shit that's gone down with their recent talent.

Not sure developing them is the issue. More like keeping them out of trouble.

He'll only go well when we're on a roll and opposition are on the back foot, his biggest weaknesses are the main skills required of a hooker, passing and reading a game. I was disgusted he was re-signed, hopefully the #14 next year will be either Baptiste or Cronin both superior hookers.

Yep our development and talent identification is good, it's our douchebag identification which sucks arse

 

[Porthoz]

Yeah, except you have Furner and Sticky... not sure whether I hate you guys enough to laugh or feel sorry about it.

What do you mean? The Raiders are excellent at identifying douchebags

 

[Unbreakable]

[Broncoman]

Watmough has agreed to join Parramatta on a 3 year deal

Anthony Watmough agrees to three-year deal with Parramatta Eels

Despite being unpopular with almost everyone on here I rate him highly and he is a very good signing for them. Will strengthen their forward pack and offer more attacking options. Manu Ma'u and Watmough is a very good second row pairing.

Watmough's denied it on Facebook saying its another rubbish article from SMH and he hasn't signed anywhere for after 2015

He will be 100 years old soon and he runs sideways way too much. I don't think they need him. They have enough gigantic, fast and skillful forwards there already.

 

[Alec]

Watmough is pretty much half of Manly's go forward. Without him they'll be fucked, unless they get a few good front rowers.

 

[Unbreakable]

Manly are kinda fooked next season if he does leave.. no G.Stewart, Watmong and maybe even no B.Stewart.
