to think copely was literally next in line to play origin a few years ago. now cant even get a run in first grade

 

[CrazyMatt]

Really liked Copley when he was at the Broncos. I don't know what went wrong for him at the Chooks but he'd definitely be worth a punt if the price is right.

all but given up hope on signing segy

Yeah I think that's done and dusted. Was starting to become more trouble then it was worth. Might have to persist with Brailey and give him the time and patience to develop.

 

[Gumby]

besides chad, is brailey the only local junior currently in our team?

or is Nu, Gal and bukuya also included in that bracket?

Probably not. Those guys didnt go through the district juniors. If thats what we're callin local junior

Nu's from.NZ
Gals from parra
Bukuyas from redcliffe

So no

 

[Thresher]

All of the NRL players living in the Shire are going to be of benefit to our Juniors system in the long run.

It's kind of like an non-sanctioned breeding program.

Exactly. Vals more of a local 'junior' than gallen haha

 

[snowman]

And hes from Townsville

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

And hes from Townsville

Exactly. I think to be considered a local junior youve gotta have been through the district system or at the very least do HM and SG

 

[Born&bred]

I like copley would be a good signing. He and beale very reliable guys to have filling your 1-5

Where have you been digits?

Looks like we are going to sign Edrick Lee with Fensom also forced out of Canberra with salary cap, he's set to join the Cows.

RICKY Stuart has appealed to the NRL to find a better way to reward loyalty in the salary cap, with Canberra poised to release Shaun Fensom and Edrick Lee on the eve of the new season.

Stuart told The Daily Telegraph the decision to release the pair was “the hardest thing I have had to do as Raiders coach”.

With the kick-off to the 2017 season a week away, Fensom is set to join North Queensland in the coming days while Lee is tipped to sign with premiers Cronulla.

He'l be fine . Big game Nerves might have got the best of him last year .
Tall and can catch a bomb .
In the same elite speed range as Roberts ( see my Lee footage below )
Might need work on defense and seems a left side winger at the Raiders.
Anyone know if he's had a dig at the right side ?

Size and Speed , just starting to get to prime age .
A try every 2nd game on average .
What's not to like , provided he can play outside a cunning centre in Bird and the BOTH learn defend well together .
That will be Flanno's challenge .

Yeah Lee's a good pickup if it goes ahead. Pretty happy about it really, has some rough edges but still young-ish and can get better.

But its ok to just sack a pile of players and set up a few seasons of cap problems like he did at parra.

Yeah when I read the article I immediately thought that he was deflecting blame off himself and onto the NRL. Classic method.

 

[fishermanaxe]

So what's a player like Edrick Lee worth ?

 

[Thresher]

So what's a player like Edrick Lee worth ?

not sure but probably a lot less than he was worth before the finals game v the storm last year

 

[northofthebordershark]

So what's a player like Edrick Lee worth ?

Wild guess, 350ish? Maybe a bit more
