2022 Squad: Gains, Losses & Re-signings.

[redandwhite4evr]

I personally believe we will go to market for a couple outside backs

Braidon Burns was rumoured a while back but if Hook is looking for a veteran there may be a few around

Yep- Burns would be a good pick up- also, according to the Raiders website, Caleb Aekins is off contract. His attacking record is incredibly impressive and while he's been playing full-back in recent seasons, at 23 he's young enough and big and quick enough to be converted into the centre, wing, full-back utility we need.

I’d be having a decent crack at Connor Watson. Can cover 1,6,7,9,14

Another signing, Wow, its hard to keep up (the Warrior for Vaughn).
Can someone list players we have lost and players we have signed in 2021.

Watching Braidon Burns the other night I hope we don't have a shot at him. Looked slow and made several poor decisions in attack. Maybe an off night but very uninspiring

 

[SaintPeter]

Thanks for the info BIG RIG - Cheers

Hasn't played much lately just looked rusty to me.

He was poor the other night but is better than that.

Still managed to run for 183m, the most for rabbits players. Hard to please everyone I guess

 

[Slippery Morris]

Yep, I doubt BBQ Boys Ellis & Fuimaono will be around next year. Shame for Fui he started the year so strongly

I think Saints can get Fui for much less now due to the BBQ incident if anything as Saints were working on keeping him from what I heard. I would not be surprised if they shave 100k or so off the offer now or put some clauses in there.

Jack Bird as a similar example

I never heard Wishart left, that is a real shame. I thought he had real potential, as did Bellamy I guess….

 

[BIG RIG]

Yeah it was a shame he left - he only left around 2 weeks ago and join Melbourne on a 2.5 year deal

While I trust a lot in our young guys, Sloane, Feagais, Amone etc, we desperately need some class in the back to replace Dufty.
Said it all along, no qualms letting him go so long as he is replaced with someone better for our team. The lack of interest from better clubs vindicates Hook's move, but now getting nervy about being very light on with proven strike power.

Some of those young blokes need some game time, glad to see Tyrell again this weekend. Bring a Feagai in for Ramsey or Beale. Let's get serious.

Forward recruiting has been pleasing and a good balance between quality, rep type players without being marquee and having to pay overs.

 

[j0nesy]

Biggest conundrum w that pack and depth in place where does Jack Bird play? 3? 6?

I reckon he plays 3 and Sullivan or Amone 6

 

[Mjab]

What are we going to realistically do about Hooker
Any bright ideas ??
McCullogh solid defender and nothing else
Only 1 year left in him tops

Agree. Bird looked good in attack in the back-row, though he struggled in defence.
I think Sullivan is the long-term 6, eventually 7.
Amone appears to be being utilised on the edge when he plays FG.
