Re: Raph de-listed??
he isn't contracted but should nominate for the preseason or we will give him another contract after we have sorted out our list. He can shop himself to clubs that were hamstrung by the FA penalties.

That's footy, clubs need to progress and try different combinations...
He hasn't officially been cut but if he does get cut i wonder if he'll get picked up....Would Ross pick him

Showing your true colours now Bob. Nothing wrong with Raph's disposal. Or are you talking about C.J.?

Had more ability than many, but that's only my opinion. Obviously the club thinks otherwise.

Re: Raph de-listed??
i hate disrespect towards any of our players and he was someone who wore our colours with pride. His body let him down early and eventually he was pushed out by youth but doesn't detract from the valuable performances he gave for us. Got us up against the Bulldogs in the finals. Will sadly be remembered for a run down in a GF but better than given credit for. Thanks Raph in what ever the future holds. Glad you played for the Saints. Respect.

Apparently carlton had some interest - I'd do a straight swap with Bower ( call me mad !) i actually think Bower isn't a bad player - good size can run - seems to have the fire in his belly - not sure why he is on the outer at carlton

Re: Raph de-listed??
Yep. I was always a Raph fan but he never quite lived up to his potential, for various reasons. I too wish him well. FWIW he hasn't been officially delisted yet, the Saints have said that decisions will be made regarding he and some other players, at the completion of the Trade Period.saintspremiers wrote:Indeed.oh when the wrote:He had more chances than most

Re: Raph de-listed??
Agree bob - but he has more versitilty than that and can go forward - maybe play centre - he's 3 years younger than Raph with more upside i would think and a straight swap seems better than getting nothing for Raph who wants a change anyway and I think i'd rather bower in the squad - even though I still keep thinking of Raphs game v west coast a few years back when he was so on fire it was ridiculous unfortunately this type of thing was a raritybobmurray wrote:Bower is 192cm and 92 kgs...another one to play on the 3rd tall...we've got an abundance of themsaint6709 wrote:Apparently carlton had some interest - I'd do a straight swap with Bower ( call me mad !) i actually think Bower isn't a bad player - good size can run - seems to have the fire in his belly - not sure why he is on the outer at carlton

Re: Raph de-listed??
I dont think there will be any further delistings untill List Lodgement one on the 30th of October, four days after the trade period finishes.
So this thread is bulldust.
