John Folau & Junior Paulo

Appears news regarding Junior Paulo has gone quiet ever since Raiders signed that kid from Newcastle. Anyone heard anything else.

Also anyone think we can salvage John Folau and give him a chance as a 2nd row forward. I know we have a heap of 2nd rowers, but he certainly likes to run hard at the line and he has the size for it. Maybe defensive question marks?

  • It would be nice if we can get an official announcement in regards to JP, on whether he's here in 17 or not!!!How hard is that to let the fans know!!! Bolous ?????
    • What sort of announcement do you want? Isn't Junior still contracted with us till the end of the year?
    • If he has officially signed with the raiders or not 17 onwards
    • He hasn't signed with the Raiders at this stage. He has the offer front Parra and is considering it.
  • how has Folau had many chances? wasnt he injured for much of last season? he is still young, thats why i think BA has been patient with the likes of him, toutai and terepo. Morgan on the other hand? well his presence as an NRL player earning around 200k per season dumbfounds me. the "luck of the Irish" they say. 

  • John 'Edward Penishands' Falou?

  • Morgan may not be the most talented player in the team

    but at least one thing can be said about him, he gives 100% every time him plays.

    which is a damn lot more then you can say of players with a lot more talent, W.Hopoate, Sandow to name a couple

    • please don't say the S word anymore this is 2016 enough with the past haha

  • If they forked out 500k a year for a second rower with a handfull of first games, and they are already stacked in the 2nd row department imagine the offer that Junior got. I don't blame him for taking it if he has.

  • Look at the rest of the Canberra team there isn't a hell of a lot of money being spent there,

    No, $800k centre

    No, $1.2 mill halfback
