Don Furner and Adrian Purtell on ABC radio

[Timbo]

If we pay 200k for Nathan Smith I will personally burn Bruce Stadium to the ground.

 

[raiders fan forever]

hahahaha

 

[Raider Azz]

probably already has the pole on the dancefloor reserved at mooseheads - i imagine they will be topping up the raiders offer

i'll do the head quarters

 

[julian87]

Apparently we are interested in Rooney, especially if Purtell leaves.

 

[raidersforme]

The telecrap has reported 200k over 2 years for smith, Apparently as a chalk replacement if he goes back to qld.

 

[fourxman]

I am not a fan but 100k a season isn't going to hurt us. Least we are not doing a Frawley here.

 

[Lime_Green]

100K a season? He's worth more than that. I find that hard to believe.

He's been one of the Panthers best the last couple of seasons. Surely he'd command the average wage?

 

[Macko8]

well than if chalk and purtell go

we get smith and rooney???

 

[Paullyboy]

That's the scariest post I've ever seen on these forums. What a horrible thought.

 

[Timbo]

Now think about that for a moment.

That's not a hard thing to accomplish.

Good to see you read the rumours thread.

Please let this happen.

:lol: @ Rooney and Smith
the missing premiership puzzle peices!!

Rooney will go to saints, sadly we'll probably end up with Smith back... hope he likes the Souths Logan area

 

[mxlegend99]

Yeah Rooney is pretty much as good as gone for Panthers. Which is great news.

Nathan Smith though, i doubt our management will let him go. Everyone seems to love him. Raiders fans would learn to love him if they signed him... he makes ~40 tackles a game... and that was enough to make Alan Tongue the best lock in the game.

Tongue was the highest try scoring foward in the game when the love began. He also saved more tries than he scored.

 

[Lime_Green]

I miss that version of Tongue.

He's solid but unspectacular these days. The captaincy has weighed heavily upon him IMO.

 

[dubby]

Yeah, what happened to that version of Tongue? Has he decided he has to tackle all game and nothing else a la Nathan Hindmarsh??

If we get Smith back I will dead set hit the roof. We dont need another mediocre player here. Just because he's a local doesnt cut it with me.

 

[azza]

Better call the roof repair guys dubby.

Nathan Smith has signed with the Raiders for 3 years.

What a terrible waste of cap space. Never did anything useful while at the Raiders and has carried on with that form at Penrith.

Freak show.

Hit the roof mate because N Smith is back with a vengeance.
