Yeah you're right, us getting Shillo compares to you guys signing the Carney's, Graham, Naughton & possibly Dugan. Can't see who got the better deal there.

While you're at it, Vidot goes alright, may as well take Fensom. Tongue goes good on his day.

The opportunity to sign them was there, and like any other club, we acted.

The fact that Canberra fans are getting so riled up proves that we made the right decisions.

If you are looking to lay the blame on someone, have a look at your CEO and his brother!
Obviously not the best people managers!

I do agree with you there, the way our club is run is a joke. We need a half & a hooker, yet we chase Front Rowers.

Don't suppose you guys are willing to give us Jaubs by any chance lol

It sucks, JayCar was my favourite Raider. You guys have made a top signing there. If he gets back to 100% he'll be a beast. Can play Wing, Center but he came to the club as a Hooker. He's also got size to be in the Backrow. A very good buy

Could be a very good signing.. Would be nice to have an attacking winger.. Coz I don't think Perret or Mini are..

he's yours

he's yours

Haha, thanks, I don't think we'd look at him though.

He's not in his 30's and he doesn't play in the Front Row

FML. Carney X2, Naughton, Graham, Dugan possibly, Monas back in the say. If you guys win the premiership within the next 3 years it'll be on the back of the Raiders. I'm finding myself supporting the Roosters as m 2nd favourite team because of ho many Raiders are in it

Furner's no so much angry at the way the Roosters buy their players, but you guys have single handedly set the Club back another 5 years.

Don't you worry, I'm angry at the Raiders too for not being able to hold onto their own. At least Carney has been honest these past few weeks and said his decision was for more money.

Canberra Raiders - Feeder club to the Sydney Roosters

Oh piss off you sook. Raiders fans have to be the biggest whingers in footy.
The way they label us as cheats or parasites for buying a player. Like they or any other club don't do it. They are fast becoming the biggest embarrassments in the game and I'm sure we will see more garbage from them this Sunday.

Easts are signing a player here who is struggling to get into your 1st grade side this season. He is looking for an opportunity and he will get that here next season.

I don't see how by us signing this bloke we have "set you back 5 years". You list other players. Graham was not offered a contract by the Raiders. Carney was playing park footy you guys sacked him. We took a risk in signing him so far it has paid off. He would of gone to another club.

You mention Dugan, if he comes here it will not be about money. Canberra could offer him as good a deal as he would get at another club. Maybe for once you should look at the amateurish administration of your crap club as to why players are willing to leave at the first chance. The way your CEO has behaved through the Dugan situation and now is laughable. The way he hired his brother as coach is laughable.

Your club is a joke.

Fitzy I don't think h's angry with us.. Just lamenting the loss... My take is that he's pissed off with the Raiders management..

T Carney was sacked by your club. Graham was released by your club. J Carney wouldn't crack a first grade spot at your club. 2/3 were booted by your club. Don't understand the hate

I don't label your club as cheats. It's the way you guys operate, can't complain because it's working. Something that our Development approach isn't doing.

He's only struggling to make our side because he's only just coming back from injury. Trust me, a fully fit JayCar would have walked into our side. He's not 100% yet.

I didn't say signing Carney will set us back 5 years, I said if you guys get Dugan as well, it will set us back. Purely based on looking at you potential line being
1. Dugan
2. Carney
3.
4.
5. Graham
6. Carney

3 of your 5 Backline players are former Raiders. 2 (T Carney & J Dugan) are players the club wanted to build a team around. Taking those 2 will set the club as we'll have to wait for the next big thing to come through the ranks.

Graham was offered a contract, but it was significantly less than what he wanted, so he looked elsewhere. Fair enough.
Todd wasn't playing Park Footy when we sacked him. We sacked him then he was playing Park Footy. He admitted afterwards that the Roosters were talking to him when word got out that he may be fired.

Just wanted to clarify some things for you. I never said you were cheats or parasites. You came to that conclusion on your own

As for us being a joke, at least we have 2 important things you don't
1. Juniors
2. Members

boo hoo....Roosters get another raider. cheer up raiderboy, here's a song for you:

You would be correct. There's something wrong with our Club, which is making so many people want to leave. I'm just having a downer because I have to accept that my favourite player of this era is leaving us. Give me a few days and a Cat to kick and I'll be fine

[Guest]

could turn out a top signing imo. He has heaps and heaps of speed which is something that is becoming more and more prevelant in our backline atm. Is very strong as well and can find the line. I see him as a centre not winger - is too small for wing imo but has the strength to play well in the centres. Carney and Linnett i see as a left edge with great balance and potential - both have plenty of strike power and speed, one is short, stocky and powerful the other is tall, lean and athletic. Both also smart signings because they dont and never will fall in the superstar bracket but will do a bloody good job week in week out for the club.

For those of us including myself on the sign michael gordon bandwagon i think this guy is a carbon copy minus 6 years. both similar height and both with speed to burn. Only other differences bar age are that carney is much stockier and stronger without compromising speed making him a good option in the centres in particular and gordon can goalkick. Id now be inclined to say that bar maybe dugan, our club shouldnt make anymore signings in the outside backs because when you consider the wealth of talent in the outside backs we have coming through i think we have now struck the balance between players who are still developing but proven at first grade level and those that are coming through that could be anything.

[Guest]

One a positive, at least our recruitment is operating on a needs basis. We have been selective and intelligent with our recruitment over the past 2 seasons. This year, we were short on props. In come JWH and Ryles. We were also having issues out wide. In come Linnet, BJ, Graham and Carney

Selective, intelligent recruiting

As I said typical Raider fan having a ****ing sook. Graham was not wanted by you guys. J. Carney can't crack a 1st grade spot in your side, he obviously isn't as highly rated as your other backs who are all signed to long term deals.
T. Carney was sacked and was available for any club to sign.

Regarding Dugan (who hasn't signed) if he comes here the finger should be pointed at your administration, not Easts.

Your dig at us about juniors is weak. You have large junior numbers due to your geographical location not due to good management or development. For a club with such great "juniors" you always seem to be struggling, again the finger should be pointed at your weak administration.

As far as members/crowd numbers for one a town team the Raiders have probably the worse numbers in the league. I don't know the numbers but I bet our crowd numbers are better than yours over the last 10 years.

great to see the turnaround from stickys recruiting, lets buy lots of backrowers!
