2010-We are ONE good player off being genuine contendors.

[Cryptic]

Looking back over this years "Highlights" for us I just don't know what happened to Campese... He started this year like he ended the first then just hit the form slump of all form slumps... The problem is the team is too young (youngest in the league) for our star players to have bad games... We can survive with an average game or two but it's like he had nothing to play for since the damn SoO game...

I think Waddell can make the hooker role his own... He has shown that with a few more games under the belt he is the hooker we need, again I wouldn't mind seeing what Flannagan can offer but if that ship has already sailed so be it.

McCrone has the half back spot for mine... Agreed one of our under 20's MAY take over in the future but I don't see it happening next year baring injury/suspension/rep duty/etc.

Milne will be back in FG once he is fit again, I wouldn't mind seeing him as our utility player... That's a "position" we were lacking big time this year which Chalk filled really well last year... I think Milne could do some heavy weights training in the off season and bulk up a little with-out losing too much mobility or speed and could be a real asset off the bench in the 2nd row or to take over from a injured back, etc.

Otherwise I think our pack is pretty damn good... We just need some consistancy... WLWLWL for the end of the season so if we can get a team working well as a unit and keep them together I think we are in for a massive season next year...

That and fix whatever is wrong with Campese... I still think he easily has what it takes to be one of the best 5/8's we have ever had but he needs to get whatever is holding him back locked away before then...

Waddell to play 80 minutes.

McCrone to hold down halfback spot.

Monaghan to go to the wing, Carney to centre.

Top 17 needs more Milne - our X factor - just don't know where.

Dugan, Croker, Vidot and Carney are all better players than milne IMO

 

[matt]

Only one? I would have us at 3 to 4.

 

[Greenbits]

Dugan, Croker, Vidot and Carney are all better players than milne IMO

Agreed, hence the "just don't know where bit". The thing Milne has that none of these guys have shown is the ability to finish off the half breaks. Imagine the potential... Dugan always seems to make half breaks that we don't finish, Milne always seems to finish half breaks that are rarely made... the two in the same team... WOW

 

[GC_Gladiator]

What about Herbert in a utility role? The guy has a bit of playmaking ability and from what i saw looked like one of the fastest guys in our squad. My point being he may be able to do everything Milne can do and more. You want a guy who can be a zippy from hooker and fill in half back he may be an option..

 

[Packy]

As an outsider I like McCrone. Would happily have him at the Dogs if we didn't have Kimmorley

 

[Talanexor]

You guys need a better hooker, not a halfback. Most clubs have only one 'classic' playmaker and someone else in the halves. Sometimes its another backrower/tackle bag, other times its a speedy ball runner and sometimes its just a guy with a great long boot.

The Broncos did alright without a decent halfback for ages - the even won a premiership with SHANE PERRY in the 7. Melbourne have done alright too - Cronk is just a winger who can kick, he's not a halfback.

Get a quick, nippy hooker with a bit of football nous and great service from dummy half, and tell Campese to take control. Everything else will fall into place. McCrone isn't that bad at halfback either, and I can't think of anyone else on the market who would do much better - your team will always suck as long as Tongue is anywhere near hooker.

Tim Smith would go ok, but you've had enough problems with drunk dickheads. Stick with McCrone, tell Campese to take control and get a decent #9.

lmao, canberra is the biggest sh*t house club in the league. you have no star players, team is full of nobodies, and you generally suck ass. you need a f**kin thurston, marshall, locker, slaters and a hayne to make your side even come above the bottom of the table. dumb canberra sh*ts

 

[Mullins_y2k]

out:
-Graham
-Logan
-Flanagan
-Purtell
-Plum

I'd play Monaghan on the wing with Vidot at centre.
I blame Campese for Herbert and McCrone's failure at halfback this season. The guy has had a rotten season and deserves a vidot knee for on-field temperament and attitude with the referees.

Agree 100%

As opposed to the mountain of success that Souths has enjoyed for the last 40 years or so! :lol:

lol@ the souths fan, please...your club should have given up after 1989, it was the last respectable season they had.

 

[Noa]

Lol, talk about de ja vu.

Nah, just kidding. Last year was fools gold for you guys, its was a false-dawn, the result of a coach who could afford to let his team throw the ball around without any consideration for the follwing year or the consequences. Certainly made it hard for Furner follow

Imo much better finish to this year and better foundation for next.

Please point to the stars in Rabbits... Congrats on making the finals this century and all the preimierships you've won in the last 20 years as well....

Maybe the entire club should give up League and just try for an Ultimate Fighting Team thing instead... I mean at least one of you can box and your team owner is pretty good with a phone from what we hear...

 

[Leaguelegend20]

Sutton, Asotasi, Merrit, Wing, Wesser, Kidwell.

 

[Raider_69]

Sutton, Asotasi, Merrit, Wing, Wesser, Kidwell.

Campese is better than Sutton
Asotasi ill pay but the prick hasnt been nearly as good since going to your sh*t pot club,
Merritt is a nuffie. Wing was average for them at best, Wesser... has he even played this year :lol: Dud signing of the year! And Kidwell's playing for their PL side :lol::lol:

Souths :lol: fair dinkum, you blokes have made the finals once in 20 years

 

[Mr. Snrub]

Sutton, Asotasi, Merrit, Wing, Wesser, Kidwell.

Mate, you can buy a team, but that team has to gel. Roosters do the exact same thing and after a year or two of signing this marquee players, they go into oblivion.

Raiders have a bright future. Which isn't laid down by the foundations of buying a team. Rabbitohs can continue to buy these players but they aren't going to win the trophy in the next 10 years. Raiders will, I can guarantee it.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

LOL @ fans of the other team that wears green tryna take shots at us.

 

[dubby]

No authentic half or hooker to win us those close games.

Waddell and McCrone are too raw. Waddell is still a few years off becoming joining Smith, Farah, Ennis and McCrone is so far behind JT, Kimmorley, Barrett its not funny.

I realise this guys are still kids and are developing, but that means we are still a few years off being top4.

We are not in the same class as Melbourne or Manly who have been consistent over the past 3 seasons.
