Great news

[bucko]

I'm sure everybody has already read this on the official raiders site, but Darren Porter has decided to stay with the club for another year rather than retirement. This is simply excellent news for the club.

Well it's ok I can't remember seeing him ever play tho :?
regular reggie??

 

[bucko]

Usually yeah, great player too.

he played back in the 2001 season as a first grader...i think offf the bench

 

[Montz]

He made his debut on a wonderful evening against the Bulldogs at the showground. He plays hard and with a lot of heart. I'm very pleased he stayed on board the Green Machine.

I guess its good news as long as he aint keeping no up and coming props out of reggies than it's fine by me.

Ahh thats him I thought he was long gone yeah I remember him

I wouldnt really call it great news, i would be surprised if he ever played first grade again

 

[bucko]

He won't play first grade I don't think, but it's good for premier league, he is an excellent player, and would be good to have in the side for all the up and comers.

it isnt that great news, it will help PL but nothing else by maybe slow to development of some young players

he is a good player and all but i fear he might be remembered by raiders fans as a player who played one season too many

My sentiments exactly.

I can't see how it will hold young players back. Remember sometimes it is good to have experienced players around a team so that they can pass on the tricks and give some stability and leadership to the team.

Plus Porter was one of the best Premier League forwards this year.

And, even looking at the worst possible outcome (ie he doesn't perform like this year) there is not much lost. He is not in the top squad or anything.

I'm not going to talk down someone who wants to represent the Raiders.

Congratulations to him for signing on and showing that he is committed to the club and his team mates.

Hopefully he can have another good year next year.

Anyone who saw Darren Porter play this season would not be unhappy about him staying.

I'm glad he is staying a bit longer... He is an asset to the club at any level.
