[supermario]

i think you might see dane tilse sacked from the raiders soon.

He was caught starting a fight against Nick Kouparitsis from the dogs in canberra.

[FatRooster]

The Raiders said he had no case to answer though, I believe

[Rooster_6]

Rumors doing the rounds;

Wing ---> unknown (union possibly)
Stagg ---> Bulldogs
Maitua ---> Souths, Sharks, Panthers or Cowboys

[Guest]

Ours is looking a bit thin, anyone else confirm the rumor about Issac Luke in 2010, particularly now Smith has re signed ?

[Guest]

I read somewhere that we had signed a young Union player. Not sure of his name....

[Guest]

I woould say it has to be a toss up between, Dragons and Bulldogs as recruiting the best this year, with Cowboys just behind

[Guest]

So Ben Rogers from St. George has gone to the Knights and Ben Rogers from Souths has gone to St. George? They got rid of one Ben Rogers and replaced him with another? That is spooky if it is true.

Joe Williams has gone to the Bulldogs from the Panthers but there is no mention that he is "IN" the Panthers....maybe he has gone to Canberra and the Panthers are unsure....

[Guest]

Sisa Waqa is his name...

[Guest]

Although not for 2009 I thought it was interesting to read the local paper this morning insinuating that Mitchell Pearce will be playing for the Sea Eagles in 2010.

The same spastic, the rabbits released him to the drag queens, who then promptly realeased him to the nights.

Once you get that vermin blood in your veins your a walking trophy for failure.

[Guest]

Pearce to Siberia 2009

Then to souffs in 2010

You heard it here first.
