Canberra Raiders half back heavily linked with us. Would be a real coup for us and suggests "Magic Matt" will be on his way at seasons end.

yeh seen this rumour flying about, certainly looks on paper alot better than what frawley had when we signed him... first choice half back for canberra... till an injury anyway!

magic matt?? dont think anyone has ever given him that nickname

Do we need another half? Unless we can offload frawley from his contract then this seems like an odd signing.
Be nice though!

Been rumours Frawley is returning home at the end of the year for a while.

you would have to think frawley would be going back if sezer is on his way from canberra...and we know the links woolford has with canberra!

Be a big signing if we can pull this off , lot of nrl fans rate him quite High , work with Simon before so that’s why I think we’re faves to sign him possible he could come this year I’ve heard

While Canberra are in top 4 and he’s starting halve? Canberra could get to grand final, would you swap that for relegation battle?

He’s only just got back to a starting half been playing reserve grade for a couple of months and he knows his times up with Williams coming so he might fancy coming to help us out you never know

I doubt it, plus we are at salary cap already so how do we fit him in

Are we really up to the cap??? Even with the loss part way through the season of players such as smith, Farrell, grix? can we not find a bit from those salaries to pay a player for the remaining less than three months of the season.

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,

rumours getting stronger

and could be this season

played for Turkey so maybe some sort of quota free spot

heard nothing but good things about him

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."'"

Doesn’t sound like someone who wants to come at all never mind next week

A lot of reports saying both , but even if not halfback isn’t our most need position even if Matty goes back home, think we need a prop or 2 if we want to start pushing too 5

Well if it’s this season they need to sign him by Thursday!

We need some forwards who can get us into the opposition half and keep them out of ours a bit. You can have the best Halves in the world but they won't be great playing behind a pack going backwards.

Agree
Our pack needs bolstering

Sounds like his wife doesn't want to come overseas, doesn’t bode well.
