Wiki, Monaghan to test player market

[greeneyed]

The CT on Monday had a comprehensive list of when all current players are contracted to.

 

[ball boy]

and can you post the list please

 

[VictorTheViking]

As far as Im aware Schif signed on for another three years last year was it?

Miller I read about in the paper today as resigning for another two, Drew we all know is until next year, robbo possibly, we need that list to know for sure and I havent been able to find it yet.

If we cant fit Wiki and Monoghan under the cap the Nrl is bullsh*t. Look at the Roosters team compared to us. Maybe there should be allowances for clubs out of town and i think it is hard for the management to keep players because of Canberra's location, climate etc. and also rep selection doesnt help. when we get a good halfback it will change things. ALOT... just reading i think Wiki is gooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeee... if we lose him we must sign brent kite!!!

 

[raidersman]

wots so good about kite? Hes not better than weyman, cross, miller, etc! How bout we spend it on signing a decent half

 

[thickos]

and can you post the list please

Yeah I second that come on greeneyed post the list 8)

I know PNG Steve is off contract at the end of this year... he told me after the match on Saturday. Rhino is off contract end of next year, so is Schif and Davico and Drew. Gonna be a bad year next year!

I really cant see Wiki and Mona leaving you blokes, its just bout getting an extra 5 to 6 %.
Im confident they both will resign come June 30

 

[RaidersMalt]

I hope you are right Jamaal.

Its probably similar to Orford. After Hawkins spoke to him, he said Orford was never intereseted in leaving, just wanted to push his salary up a bit.

 

[thickos]

Its exactly what big Joel said after the game when they were celebrating - 'I want to stay, the manager is just trying to jack up the price'

I know this may sound crazy, but I reckon Ruben is the #1 priority ahead of Joel. We all saw what happened to us while the Muss was suspended, if he leaves the wheels will fall off. I know that the age factor will probably be the sticking point but we can't afford to go back to where we were 3 years ago. Joel will be useless in a side getting spanked week in, week out.

Besides, Ruben has been loyal throughout his whole career. How would he feel if the club put him 2nd on the list to an up and comer, when he has been the Best and most consistant player for at least the last 5 years now?

 

[jed]

In his 7 games so far this season he's made 119 hit-ups (only Schif with 199 and Hodgo with 171 have made more, and both of them have played in every match), and has averaged 27 tackles per game - irrespective of whether he leaves at the end of this season or in another 3 or so years, his loss going to leave a tremendous hole in our forward pack.

Definitely though he has to be our #1 priority though. Particularly after he fought to stay with us in the 90's.

I agree with alot of the other posts and am 99% sure they're just trying to get more money out of the Raiders. Actually I don't think Monaghan and Wiki are, I think that shameless dog of a player agent is. What a knob to come out and say we need better players for Joel to stay. The guy obviously doesn't have a clue and I'd love to run into him on the street with a cricket bat at my disposal.

 

[Mighty Tiger]

Isn't Grahme, Martin and Hindmarsh off contract this year ????

 

[Raider_69]

Graham resigned for 2 or 3 last year
Hindy isnt and neither is martin to my knowledge

 

[thickos]

Graham - ours until 2006
hindy - 2005
Martin - no idea???

 

[Raider_69]

well said
Muss is #1 for mine with monnas getting a close 2nd anyone else is expendable

I agree 100%

 

[jed]

all true, but until they put pen to paper, there's still a chance that they'll play in other colors next season.
