Players we have signed, that are CURRENTLY at our club:

Blake Ferguson- Didn't expect to make instant impact like he has done so.
Matt Orford- Been a bit of a dud so far, but didn't have a pre-season and has only played a few games.
David Shillington- Been unbelievable. David Furner has turned him into a World class prop.
Tom-Learoyd-Lahrs- Signed from Brisbane when he was 18, and the Raiders have developed him into a World class prop
Brett White- Hasn't had as much influence as us Raiders fans would've liked.
Dane Tilse- Signed from Newcastle as a youngster, and the Raiders have developed him into a very good quality prop. Could break NSW within a few years.
Bronson Harrison- Signed from the Tigers. When he came was considered a depth player. Now one of the games most consistent players.

The only player I can think of is Dane Carlaw, but he hasn't really been any better than expected.

That's just this year BTW.

Tom-Learoyd-Lahrs- Signed from Brisbane when he was 18, and the Raiders have developed him into a World class prop

21, he was an awesome talent but was just squeezed out because we already had Costigan, Thaiday, Eastwood and Taylor coming through.

James Maloney and Brent Webb both deserve to be there.

Luke Capewell......
Oh wait, he is a dud.

Steve Michaels has changed my opinion of him as a player since joining the Titans. Very impressed with how he is going so far.

Mark Minichiello has improved out of site since going to the Titans, still has crucial errors in him but (see Sunday)

 

[Raider_69]

I could name 1000 players that we've signed that iv expected more from that we didnt get much from

but mostly when we sign a player i expect big things from them. Jason Smith, David Shillington, Bronson Harrison and Dane Tilse have been guys that have exceded expectations... although Harrison and Shillo have been ordinary this year. Tilse gets better and better each year. And Smith just played so casually and skillfully.
