It's not a good thing if Benji and Ben Retire or get offloaded, it means That 100% Tigers will pick up Foran. They already have shown interest and when the teams play Foran always fires.

I'm happy with 1. Hoppa and 6. Avo. We also have plenty of good outside backs. Pritorty signings need to be a 7 a 9 and at least 1 if not 2 gun props. That's 4 signings. Surly we have enough in the bank to make 4 quality signings in these positions.

We need

1. Hooker
2. A big prop

Those 2 positions are top priority.

Our 6 and 7 can be

6. Averillo
7. Wakeham / Lewis / Cogger

I’m confident in Barrett’s ability to bring out the best in at least on of our halves.
Wakeham & Lewis are complete shit.
Cogger is well below average and doubtful he will be at the club next year.

Averillo is 19 years old. He won't be our starting 5/8 for a season or two.

Agree we need a 9 who can pass off the ground and in front of players running onto the ball.

Also yes, we need a big prop who can bend the defensive line and eat big meters.

Hmmmm, given he was under contract until the end of 2021, they offer him a 2 year extension....given the interest & offers his manager has been fielding from 2 rival clubs over the last 2 months.....no coincidence.
Great move by the Raiders & kudos to Josh for staying loyal

I feel we will need to be very proactive now the Broncos are after changes in their roster. They will go hard at new recruits. Start getting busy Canterbury - Bankstown

1) the Raiders have signed Ryan James they have horsbrough,Sutton, Topine,Guler, Soliola & Lui at least as their middle forwards.
Papalii won’t be at the Raiders 2021.

2) Norman???? will go to the Uk, Widdop returning.
You do realise Norman is not a hooker, Ben Hunt is on the big coin & will get priority .

3) as I said IF Bird passes all medical tests including his Rheumatoid Arthritis. Would come cheap as Broncos need to free up cap space would pay at least 50% freight.

4) the Bulldogs culture? The one that has them at the bottom end of the competition for the past 3 years? We are talking about rugby league players, not ballet dancers, a bit of dickhead comes with the territory. This plis where good leadership is vital, from the Board, GM of Football, the leadership group & more importantly the coach, like Bellamy & Stuart have managed him.
Papa resigning for 2 years announcement imminent

Bird is on $975k apparently. Unless the Broncos chip in $900k I wouldn't even consider it. He's played something like 17 games in two and a half seasons.
your being extremely generous. They’d need to chip in $950k

i can confirm we have made a offer to Tom Starling for next year, but he has about 6 offers from others clubs also. So who knows how that will go.
