Colin Best Signs for 2 Years

[Risky_6]

As a Dragons supporter very disappointed to lose him, he is such a handy player outside a good centre.

The way he stood up Karmichael Hunt last Friday night was just brilliant, goodluck to the Raiders for signing him,i just hope we could replace him.

This shows how little we know what we`re talking about though, doesn`t it - I don`t recall seeing any mention of Best as an option.

"Raiders Scoop!

Didnt see this one coming, quite surprised really.

I was speaking to jed this morning and noted that I thought the Raiders had some big signings coming up but were keeping it under the radar unlike previous ...

I'm hoping and hopeful that we will sign Lyon.

I think we are getting rid of a bit of dead wood and replacing them with something better.

Best is by no means the best we can get but nontheless better than some we already have.

too much a sigh from picking myself up and still counting my ribs intact

our backline with Graham and Best..damn now that there is a very fast one two punch.

 

[paulquinn49]

Best has had a really good game tonight, the try was a piece of piss but he has been really strong from dummy half. Gets involved alot.

His linebreak was good aswell, got around Bowen and Dragons scored from the next play.

 

[grouch]

He would have been close to the man of the match, some feat for a winger. Good pickup for you guys, just make sure you persevere with him if he starts slowly.

im stked with the signing... graham and best speed sits very very well with me.

 

[yy_cheng]

If he plays outside of Lyon, he would have a field day

Anyone found a link to this on the net? Still nothing after a whole day.

 

[whatwhat]

Really good signing and will add experience to our backline..

Footy Show said it would be announced Monday, guess they wanna get on with today rather than deal with a media conference.

 

[Paullyboy]

This is almost as good of a surprise as I could hope for. Best is an excellent winger, he hasnt been as dynamic this year with Head and Barrett both missing a lot but he is a top-notch buy.

I can see some Joel Monaghan style tries coming up for him.

Lol whats the first line implying?

Lanky winger Colin Best says he's determined to win an NRL premiership with St George-Illawarra before joining Canberra on a two-year deal.

Anyway good to see it in official writing, welcome to Canberra Mr Best.
