Rapana
Martin
Chamberlain
Hardaker
Briscoe
Sezer
Abdul

Slowest backline in SL history, can just see much of the same next year. Bottom 2.

Was hoping our quota spots would be used on a young exciting half and centre and we are getting a 33 year old Sezer and 35 year old Rapana.

I'd go with

Walker
Barron
Hardraker
Rapana
Martin

Gives us too quick wingers and a FB, both centres can make a break, as long we support we score trys.

These are comments by the Raiders fans and there's plenty more -

      He literally is a game changer, he brings leadership and a winning attitude to our side when everyone is playing checkers Rapana is playing chess. Sign for 2 years if fit.

      One year with an option of extension for a second year...he is a very worthy player and we need some senior players to support and mentor our young players..

      shouldn't even be questioned. The Raiders should just give the contract to him with the years blank. He has been the top 3 Raider over the last 10 years, and still has it.

      My favourite of the last decade. We should have given him another year or 2. Good luck JR.

      Oh no! Rapa was the only player that could be relied upon to give 110% each and every game . Raider’s loss will certainly be Hull’s gain.

      Noooo wanted Jordan to go around one more year with the Raiders. Thoughts are he had so much to offer to the young players.

      He will absolutely kill it over there. An awesome player

      Devastating, his leadership in the backs cannot be underestimated, who is going to take that role on!


Not very often you see that many positive comments about a player coming to SL.

Will lack pace, but have a lot more power next year and leaders (which we have been crying out for).

Can’t see Walker being here, I suspect Rapana is coming here as we’ve told him he can play FB.

Sadly think you might be right, although I can't see where Walker goes?

If that's the case think we need to try and find another centre from somewhere, creating a quota spot or try and get a domestic centre (this would have to involve a fee, but not sure who).

For crying out loud its fans like you what are getting me so frustrated just give it a rest will you???

Just negativity on top negativity! Last time i checked Martin doesn't lack pace, Neither does Hardaker tbf and its just pure laziness to talk about pace or age they are contributing factors no doubt but if your argument held any weight lets go with a backline of

Hoy
Tindall
Sutcliffe
Wynne
Mitch
Smith
Dwyer

All the above who have played previously for us are quick but would that be a backline you'd want? No!! our 2025 backline and first 17 will be leaps and bounds above this years so pull your head out of your backside and realise that we need some leadership and experience to help stabilise this club. From here that will give us a platform to build from, we wont be bottom 2 next year absolutely no chance! Leigh will struggle i think next year given the players they losing, Cas will be near bottom, don't think Wakey will go as well as what people making out, Huddersfield are average and Leeds could be anywhere from 6th to 10th, also if Rowley ends up leaving Salford and given the players they also losing they could massively drop ff too We will compete much better and if we can be in and around 7th or 8th and maybe have a cup run that will be a good start.

No I won’t give it a rest, entitled to my opinion. Thanks for your concern. I stopped taking you seriously when you said we will compete better and aim for 7/8th :lol: :lol:

No idea on Walker, I just get the feeling he won’t be here. I don’t know where the centre comes from to be honest if we are signing Sezer and Rapana no more quota spots. Will be a tough ask to find quality.

Certainly not a 35 year old playing for an underperforming club.

Every NRL player who we sign I always check out the clubs fans forum. I have never seen such an outpouring of disappointment over a player is leaving.

After reading all these comments it's obvious that despite his age he is a high quality player and should excel in Super League. Having said that is it really the best use of the final quota place?

Time will tell.

Cust is the random use of a quota spot, don't sign him and sign a decent NRL centre and we are looking in a much better position.
