Paywall.

LOL - watch JD's press conference. Talk about taking a quote out of context.

We all know the Dragons are the club of choice for unloved or disenfranchised Raiders... or is it a case of it's the players Raiders rejects that makes Dragons the worst?

South’s have a crack at wighton since he’s mates with trell

 

[nick87]

Pretty rare that it’s reported that strongly and the deal falls through

no ill feelings here, id like to keep Wighton, preferably on a 2-3 year deal max
And I’d rather he walk than accept having him on our books at 1.1m+ for 4 years… a player who is entirely reliant on physical attributes on the books at 1.1m+ into age 34.. hard pass on that. He’s an acl away from potentially being a very ordinary footballer

He’s been a polarising player for the raiders but when he at his best the raiders were at their best. Thanks for the good times (even if they were too few and far between) and good luck at Souths

This post is far too reasonable for this forum! It’s almost like you’re normal….

Can't see a problem with souths poaching another clubs star player.
It's not like they have many rep players and they are a struggling team.
Just proves the cap will always even out the comp.
Maybe they'll stop being chokers every year and finally buy another comp.

Been told Penrith are more likely to keep Luai over Edwards, and that Raiders is the likely destination for Edwards.

RTS back. That’s great news but I can’t help feeling what might have been for NZ and the WC had he not left at all. Might have seen the first non Aus final for some time.

Raiders - absolutely f****** nobody.

Depressing as that is

Just hearing from a little black bird that Souths centre, Campbell Graham is in talks with the Panthers after reported to being pushed out by the Wighton saga. Also rumored in going back to the Panthers is Matt Lodge.

Graham would be a sound pick up. But Turuva’s progress coupled with Tiny May coming back next season I don’t see a need for Panthers to chase Graham if his price tag is more than above either what those 2 are on. Jenkins, McLean and Iongi are in the cup playing well and will make valuable additions to the 17 if need be post-Critta leaving.

What Panthers need is an impact forward to replace Kikau and Leniu.

Another winger? Doesn’t bode well for Toops.

It's also about depth too, unless you want Momorovski as the best backup for our three quarter line? Also Corey Allan is off contract at the end of this season, so it probably spells worse for him I'd suggest.

Chooks losing Corey Allan? They’ll get 4 Internationals and change with his money.

Ah yes, also forgot that Momo’s been told he’s free to look around

Ahem, that's Origin winner Corey Allen.

That's six internationals who'll take unders.
