2024 pre-season discussion: Pre-season Premiers

[McHunt]

Needs work on his left to right pass .
On their chest Herb , not at their groin bro .
Especially if he thinks he is going to play right centre . Jamayne won`t be happy with that kind of pass .

How did it work out last time Jamayne played with Herbie?

So if Sailor and Paix leave, who fills the 4 or 5 spots? You’d think we’d need a new depth fullback, outside back and probably two second rowers.

On that note, what happened to Johnson was it who we signed from the Knights a year or two back? He looked good in the trials and then seemed to disappear.

We didn't fill it last year, and didn't need a bunch of them. We even let Quai-Ward go to the Dogs, after never giving him a game.

We were incredibly lucky with injuries and suspensions in 2023. Don't know to what extent coaching and fitness staff can take credit for that. Partly, you'd think.

We always seem to find someone off the radar like Taupau, Te Maire Martin or Segeyaro at the last minute who'll play for peanuts.

Piakura: I Don't Want To Be Anywhere Else

Newly re-signed Brendan Piakura talks about the club culture during the pre-season.

He seems like such a funny bloke.

The Raiders are reportedly set to land the services of Panthers backrower Zac Hosking in a huge coup for Ricky Stuart’s Canberra outfit.

SEN is reporting the 26-year-old toured the Raiders facilities on Wednesday afternoon and could reportedly angle for an immediate release.

Does this mean Kev & his support staff are confident that we’re covered with Kurt’s departure? In hindsight, I would’ve preferred for him to come back to us.

Was pumped until the last 10 seconds.

Crazy this is 8 weeks away!

 

[Unbreakable]

Struggling to put names to faces on two of these gentlemen, any helpers?

L to R:

Xavier Willison, Deine Mariner, ??, Brendan Piakura, Blake Mozer, Reece Walsh, Fletcher Baker, ??

 

[Big Pete]

Pretty sure that's Ethan O'Neil on the right, he came through the Roosters with Fletcher.

Looks like a quick google search may have confirmed Ethan has joined the Broncos. It also sounds like the Broncos may have signed Josiah Karapani from South Sydney as well.

Between Mariner and Piakura looks like Jaidyn Hunt.

Any details on this?

It doesn't appear to be anything more beyond that. The report is coming from the South Sydney LU board.

On Karapani, there appears to be conflicting information and according to the Pride he could be with Melbourne.

We may need to get Lavishka on the case.

I did a quick google search last night and thought for sure it wasn't him, but after finding the pic of him at his Broncos presser with a moustache, yeah, that's him.

O’Neill just signed with Bears and late inclusion for train and trial.
