[Joker's Wild]

I heard he's the lightest at the club but is also the strongest, can lift something like 290kg at 70kg

Thats....pretty much impossible

Thats....pretty much impossible

He is 79kg and squats 260kg. Very impressive. He is apparently the strongest in the Titans squad

Yeh it is - it'd smash the current world records for powerlifters at that weight for all 3 - bench, squat and deadlift.


Just read the above - very impressive lift at 79kg.

 

[Spot On]

I was at the game and he went extremely well. Yes he is only small but very strong in defence and has all the skills in attack. He certainly provided much needed quick service when he came on

Yeah I was there as well. He was extremely impressive. He's a smart player with a lot of heart. There's no doubt he lifted them when he was on. From what I saw I have to think he will be a very, very good player in time.

Big wraps in that article What's Doing.

Memo to Wayne - get him!

 

[Whats Doing]

The thing that impressed me was his crisp service from dummy half and the footwork.

Would be ahead of Wadell in terms of skill even at this early stage.

He has Srama and Falloon ahead of him at this stage and for the foreseeable future and would be a very good pick at a very cheap price.

This one says 290kg but even if it's 260 that's still huge for a guy his weight

Its impressive but Im still skeptical of those numbers. The fact that 2 articles quote differing figures makes me think its all a bit of chinese whispers

His favourite team growing up was the knights apparently

Me too, and I wouldn't put it past the clubs to fluff their numbers a bit.

We're chasing young Raider prop Paul Vaughan

 

[Frederick]

Is he any good?

 

[rnb11]

I'm not sure, reading his profile he looks to be a massive guy for his age, won the Mounties player of the year award last year and played for the NSW Residents and selected in the Italy team for the World Cup. They describe him as

"One of the most promising front-rower in the club’s ranks.

A strong, well-built forward, Vaughan’s aggression in defence and ability to bend the defensive line with his carries in attack has seen him earmarked a potential first grade star."

Raiders fans seem to rate him highly too.

Is he any good?

He's a future blues player, like all Raiders juniors. You should know that by now Fred!

Not any more.

 

[rnb11]

That chase didn't last very long..

 

[Frederick]

Why would he want to play for a club where the players get suspended just for stepping onto the field

 

[The Showstopper]

Would be nice if we can sign Korbin up long term first. He is going to be a superstar. We know it. I have no doubt opposing coaches know it too. The last Vaughan we signed was not really a success here, however he was good enough to play for Melbourne or at least Bellamy rated him.

 

[Johns Magic]

Not sure where to put this, but with Widdop signing with the Dragons I wonder what chance there is that Kurt Mann will become the fourth member of the Storm spine.

They still have finch,it will be a straight swap no real big lose for storm.

Would not be surprised if Finchie ends up playing more then widdop now.
