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

As much as i can understand why all of this would be annoying, on the flip side you guys have so much young talent across the park but particularly out wide its not funny. Minus carney and even dugan, you guys still have monas, vidot, low, hodge, crocker and thompson to name a couple. Its more about ensuring you guys are keeping the right ones because with that much quality, losing a couple is inevitable

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.

Only one Origina and Test player in that list.

You started it by taking David Grant.

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.

Did you read what I said? Or do I have to re-write it again? I'll summarise;
* Graham was offered a contract, he turned it down for a better offer at the Roosters.
* J Carney can't crack 1st Grade because last year he broke his Tibula & Fibula. We've been taking our time with him. A fully fit Carney would walk into our side.
If Dugan goes to the Roosters, I'd say the rumours saying he was approached before the deadline & before he contract expired need investigating. The way he & Todd carried on on The Footy Show last week makes me think something's been done already anyway. Word on the street is that he's signed a 'Letter of Intent' to join you guys. So good luck with that.

You're right, for a club with such a large Junior base, we do tend to struggle. The fact that we spend countless $$$ and years at developing players, only to see them get snapped up when they start to get noticed doesn't help our cause either.
Just in the last 5 - 10 years we've lost guns like Finch (Roosters) Soward (Roosters) Zillman (Titans) T. Carney (Roosters) J. Carney (Roosters) Graham (Roosters) Monas (Roosters - though he came back)... the list goes on.

With regards to your comment about Crowd figures, you're right, we do have less average crowds than you guys. According to Wikipedia, we average about 500 people less than you guys. I could say that it's due to weather, Monday Night games at home or the fact we don't get that many FTA games so we lose out on publicity, but I don't want to come across as whinging.

Canberra Raiders - Feeder club to the Sydney Roosters

I like the sound of that

Well, the rumours coming out is that Monas is heading to England next year to play with Michael & Milne is heading to Souths because we're not making him an offer until we see what Duges does. With Duges screwing around with us and you guys, we could potentially lose our 1st & 2nd string Fullbacks. Hodge isn't up to NRL standard yet, Thompson is rumoured to be looking at Roosters as well...

So of your list, we have Vidot, Low, Croker and an inexperienced Hodge. 3 very young guys

Raiders fans will become more upset later in the year.

He won't be first grade standard till he learns to catch. He's terrible under the high ball.

More upset? I'm already on suicide watch... can't get any worse lol

Scary thing is, if these rumours are true, our Backline's potentially

1. Vidot (Running out of FB's)
2. Low
3. Croker
4. ???
5. Hodge

Do you guys wanna do us a favor and sign McCrone?

As I said typical Raider fan having a ****ing sook. Always blaming Easts or any other reason why your club is shit. As I said from the top the finger should be pointed at your amateurish administration as to why your club is shit house.

Yes more upset.

But dont worry mate, I was on suicide watch last year having to put up with freddy and mason and co.

You can take graham back if you want. I dont want him. One of the softest runners of the ball that I have seen in a long long time.

Joel Thompson?

Hes an excellent young player.

If you lose him and dugan then you really are stuffed.

Not much point talking to you is there? You just keep repeating yourself. It's like talking to a wall.
Relax, take a Valium (There's a Roosters player who can help you with a prescription if you need it) & talk to me when you can construct a post without repeating yourself or having un-needed swearing
