Mclinden leaving the green machine???

[raidersfan]

I was flicking through RLW today at the newso and it mentioned this. WTF???

 

[greeneyed]

The source is probably Rebecca Wilson....

 

[raidersfan]

Well it's the same source that said Wiki would never leave the raiders and the Tigers would get Monaghan.

Would cap off the year. Especially if we were paying off his salary like with Payten. In saying that, I have no faith in this rumour.

 

[Livebynight]

Id highly doubt it.

1. He's still on contract
2. Didn't he re-sign only last year? For 3 years was it?

 

[Mal Meninga]

Why were the raiders forced to pay out Paytens contract when I thought he was the one who asked for a release?

 

[raiders_lover_18]

can you post the article. how much truth is behind this???

 

[jed]

Haven't we all learned these last few months that only 5-10% of the crap that's published about the Raiders is true?

I don't believe it. That's not to say that this isn't part of the 5%, but I don't belive it.

Why were the raiders forced to pay out Paytens contract when I thought he was the one who asked for a release?

Both parties agreed to a release, but Canberra had to keep paying around 2/3 of his contract to assure he was picked up elsewhere. It counted towards our cap, which made it an even more bizzare decision. I always though Payten was ok while he was here, just a bit overweight at times.

I doubt it, but after the events of the past weeks I could see it happening.

 

[edabomb]

Hmm it seems to me 5% of the good stuff is true, 100% of the bad stuff is true :x :lol:

 

[BAY72]

sounds like a load of crap!
if I get the chance can try to ask him this weekend, at the after mach function. but even then we can never be sure!

It was written by The Mole, so I take it with a grain of salt. Here's what it said:

I don't want to alarm poor Canberra fans who are still reeling from a string of recent defections, but is star halfback Mark McLinden the next Raider about to jump ship? You could be excused for thinking so if you pulled up the website of Irish club Treaty City, which features a large pic of McLinden on its home page.

I can't even find Treaty City's home page after searching on google, so I don't know what its on about :?

:lol:

 

[hrundi99]

So they've used a few NRL pics to tart up their site.

Woohoo... :roll:

I'd say the webmaster or manager is probably a Raiders supporter, and until they get a few Titans action shots to use, he ripped those pics off.

 

[Raider Azz]

By the looks of it, they must be chasing Fitler too!
:roll:

The Mole = dickhead.

 

[hrundi99]

What a ridiculously tenuous thing to use as the basis for a rumour.

Good grief.

I think I'll cancel my non-existent subscription to RLW.

 

[I Bleed Green]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's the deadset worst base for a rumour I've ever seen!

Is Wagon close behind then?!?

:lol:

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Or maybe, as they are a Irish club, and McLinden has Irish Heritage? :?: :|

 

[Raider Azz]

I left a message for the Mole in the guestbook in case he came back to break the news on Fittler joining them too. :lol:
