Grix is on loan, had to get rid of those to stay in cap, while Smith was on ok money Farrell certainly was not

Perhaps they weren’t on s lot- but surely enough to pay someone for a small part of a season- then increase next???

Baffles me how the players we have are anywhere near Salary cap but I’d guess Sezer would stay Mostly because Canberra have good chance of winning the competition

Would he stay if he think it’s likely he gets dropped down though? He’s already spent time in reserves and was unable to get in the side earlier in the year, with George Williams going to Canberra next year his game time could be limited further.
He has worked with woolford before and that will influence his choice, as well as knowing he will be playing every week.

Do hope this and Edwards happens - just need a prop now and then we are set!

Have to agree. We need to prioritise a prop over a full back. We only need a full back if Leroy retires and Uate moves on. That said, if they contribute to the same amount of games as they have this year we might have to strengthen in the backs to be on the safe side.

Great stuff.

The criteria always seems to be buy a second rate/injury prone/ past it Aussie.

Not really a successful formula in the past. Hodgson and Hinchcliffe aside.

We have Sam wood next season on his way back- and Dom young will be too old for academy, add that to the twins, new signing Butler, Jerry, turner, and Darnell I’m not sure we need any more backs even if we do lose one of those two,

Re: Aidan Sezer : Mon Jul 29, 2019 5:02 pm

9 hours ago on https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/ ... ay-in-nrl/ With England half George Williams joining [Canberra Raiders] next season, Sezer has been linked to a move to English Super League club Huddersfield, while it's believed Leeds were also interested. But the 28-year-old is contracted to the Raiders for 2020 and could opt to stay in Canberra and fight for the No.7 jersey. For now, keeping the fourth-placed Raiders in the finals hunt is all that's on the playmaker's mind. "I'm firmly focused on the next 10-12 weeks of the NRL and whatever happens happens. I'll leave that til the end of the year," Sezer said. "My ambition's to play in the NRL."
