About 50 people tweeted it around the same time or before

Raiders didnt bargain on the Storm using their marquee signing method??

CEO's aren't as dumb as the majority of supporters, how hard it is to Google 'How to open a Swiss Bank Account' . . . there are page after page of sites. The trick is finding players worth the effort

The Mole is renowned for jumping back & forth on player movement & this was a classic example. He had it down to the Raiders & Dragons, with no mention of the Storm. This afternoon he makes it sound like a scoop by saying "Moley hearing…. ". As mentioned by others, this was AFTER others had already said he was staying in Melbourne.

Follow him by all means, but be prepared for someone who loves bragging about scoops. He's a journalist with contacts doing his job, not the only person on the planet breaking codes to save Earth from an alien invasion that would've ended all life.

He NEVER admits he was wrong, simply uses the BS excuse of "things change".

Fair enough....

He certainly does brag...

Who would be the best person to follow??

Here is pretty good for info & entertainment. You don't know who are players, player managers, media or just fans like us.

Twitter is a lucky dip with the "experts" taking themselves far too seriously, with their main aim to boost their followers ( closely followed by their ego with self proclaimed scoops).

Canberra Raiders are set to announce tomorrow that they have signed Panthers winger Josh Mansour. #foxsports #nrl

after the Proctor fiasco, im pretty cautious. From what ive heard Proctor was 100% on board until about midday today. So anything can still happen.

its a pretty impressive backline
if we can get Ennis to play hooker and Cornish is as good as i think he is, we're going to be a good side next year

Buzz Rothfield was adamant that he was about to sign with the Sharks just a day or so ago.

Not that this means much. He has a terrible strike rate as well. Usually slightly more accurate when its a Sharks signing though.

Signing mansour just gets the raiders back to having a very strong backline. I remember the dizzying highs in the distant past of last year where the raiders were building towards a very good backline. Still gotta hope Lee and Teddy get over their injury problems but if we snag mansour it's back to a promising looking backline.

Raiders need some more props to replace Shilo, TLL and White if they're on the out. Need a new half before Mansour too. You're in for a world of hurt if a majority of the cap is tied up in outside backs. Look at the Knights. It's great to have a quality backline, but they're f**king useless if they don't have any space.
