Signings

[Green Evil]

There is a Canberra Times article today saying that we are looking to talk to Tim Moltzen if his talks with the Tigers dont go too well. It also goes on to say that we are interested in Tom Humble depending on Berrigans retirement plans as well as Kurt Baptiste (Broncos) and Nathan Peats (Souths) as potential hookers.

Has anyone seen much of Baptiste? From the little bit i have seen of him he like to run and play a bit of football out of dummy half whereas Peats is just a worker who will make a heap of tackles and do his job.

Why would any player in their right mind want to sign with Canberra? Let McIlwrick make the spot his own and see how he goes. Better to do that this year as we aren't going to make the finals and he can get ten games under his belt in preparation for next year.

Baptiste has been in pretty good form in QLD cup. Played once for the Broncos this year but didn't have a good game. I would be disappointed if we lost him to you guys but he is behind McCullough

I also heard the club was talking to talanoa, so along with that turd theres moltzen and humble. What the feck have we become? The new souths of old?

Theres not too much wrong with the players we have apart from the coaching they are getting.

All these so called interests have really confirmed to me that campo wont be back, he is gone, if so lets focus on cornish and get someone viable to partner him.

Tigers do all that work to get Moltzen back onto to release him, strange to say the least. Humble could be a handy replacement for Berrigan, not much else from that list worth looking at.

 

[sydraider]

So the mail is strong that sticky is going to parra. WTF we cant get this club legend to come home? It f**kn stinks, we are gonna be stuck with Furner til the end of his contract if true, other than that who else could we get to coach this team, we showed so much promise in 2010 yet we have gone so backward ever since, recent signing rumours are nothing but proof.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Wow that's the worst list of potential signings i've ever seen.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

Sau to Raiders

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Hahah..

Anyone get the feeling that as a club, we have gone backwards in the last 3 or so years? We had a few decent seasons, but no consistency and every year we play a different style.

 

[The Joker]

There's better talent running around in the local canberra comp than Talanoa, Sau and Moltzen. It's almost like your club wants to fail if any of these rumours have any legs.

 

[mongoose]

Moltzen would be alright as a bench utility. He has a bit of x factor about him.

Talanoa would partner Bani in mounties, doubt he would ever see first grade.

Haven't seen much of Humble to be honest... Baptiste has pretty big wraps on him but so did Flanagan...

 

[Raidersrawesome]

There is better talent around but they arent the ones been offered around by there current clubs.

For the record I cant see any of these players been an upgrade on what we have already.

Story today is we are trying to do a swap with Harrison and Wes Naigama

Haven't been watching Wes but it doesn't sound like he's been doing well at all.

 

[Frederick]

Wes played well enough for 10 games last year to earn a new contract. Other than that he's been junk. You're better off with croker...nuff said

We're better off with the best young centre in the game? Thanks scoop.

We'll even throw in Junior to sweeten the deal

 

[shear_joy9]

the only signing I want to see is a new coach.

canberra could sign up the all-star side but they would still struggle to make the finals under furner.

Thats pretty much the crux of it.
