Good info RAPANA coming our way

He'd be a great pick up, he's 29 so not young but he's only played 100ish games so body should be pretty fresh.

A MASSIVE upgrade on Feki, you almost can't get a bigger upgrade. Sure he's going to cost more but he can also offer some cover at Fullback too.

Where did this rumour come from ?

He apparently knocked back $500K to stay with the Raiders so I don't know where we'd get whatever $$$'s he is asking from

"Apparently" his manager knocked it back for him, and now the Raiders don't have the cap space left to give him that same offer. He might come a little cheaper than we thought.

More than happy for players to join Newtown and try and make our roster haha
Isn't big but at least isn't small 184cm 93kg
Can't say I can really remember seeing him play... 15 games for 8 tries is solid, if you ignore that it took 5 years to get those stats.

As if you'd leave a piece of **** club to go to another piece of **** club.

piece of **** clubs with culture and a soul - something Titans don't have (even though they had a head of culture in Meninga all he has done is suggest a clean out lol, prob a good start tbf). Parra and Tigers are at least semi-competitive as well.

also depends if he wants a lifestyle change from north of the border to the shidney

I don't see any culture or soul at Wests, a team that has how many home grounds?

Canterbury is a shadow of the club they used to be. Sure, they'd have the odd down year in the past but they'd never, ever be down there for long. The culture and soul there is pretty much zero now.

Sure, Parra and Canterbury have history but I doubt the modern player gives a rat's about it.

It's not a decision that's made on his perception of team culture - it will probably just come down to money. Which team can offer the most.

Huge factor for sure, but confidence in the club getting results and being a good environment are definitely considerations for most too

Definitely. I think plenty of players are willing to sacrifice a little bit of coin to head to a club that consistently plays finals.
