Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2752395, member: 1899"] Baptiste was a free agent. The Broncos didn't want him and the Raiders offered him an opportunity, I wouldn't begrudge that signing more than I would the Logan Spaander (former Broncos NYC half) signing from earlier this year. The interesting thing about mitch222's list is that Blake Austin, Milford's replacement, was also granted an early release from his deal. The Raiders expressed interest in him, offering him a three year deal which is why the Tigers released him, it wasn't as if he was knocking on doors looking for opportunities. And you know what? Good for them, it was a great signing and it was nice to see them land on their feet just as they did with Tapine. b4l - I tend to agree with you. talanoa could be right but it's really negative and judgemental comment with little to no basis. As I pointed out earlier, the Raiders showed little interest in developing him as a player. Here was a guy who was playing NSW Cup as a 19 year old who wasn't getting a look in at NRL level and in fact was being relegated back to the NYC. Considering the signings and the players that were being picked ahead of him, the writing was on the wall, just like it was for Jayden Nikorima and he did something about it. Is Jayden Nikorima a gun for hire? Is he going to get his own ESPN 30 for 30 Special? Will Skip and Steven A debate his credentials on First Take? Please. lionred - I tend to agree, his conditioning is a concern at the moment which is why I think it will take him at least 2017 to really showcase his skills. I do think we're going to get a nice preview this year, in fact we already and as I said earlier the best thing is he isn't the only one. [/QUOTE]
