It has been confirmed. He's a good player and I'm sad to see him go but I'm glad we didn't pay that much for him with Fensom and Williams coming off contract.
I really thought that he would stay at the Raiders, next we will take Sam Williams, eventually we will win at Canberra by buying all their players. Go StGeorge Illawarra Raiders..
He is a quality signing, sorry to see him go. I get the impression that the money at the Dragons was slightly better but it was more about family, I think his partner is from Woollongong so you can't blame him. He has been a great player and ambassador off the field so hopefully the Raiders can send him off with some finals action!

Yeah have always been impressed by him and also Jarrod Crocker, when is his contract up
Johnathan Thurston has admitted he considered playing for the Kiwis nine years ago after he was approached by goalkicking coach Darryl Halligan.
The Kangaroos five-eighth has told The Daily Telegraph that he strongly considered pledging his allegiance to New Zealand and play in the 2004 Tri-Nations series.
Thurston would have been eligible to play for the Kiwis through his father Graham who is a New Zealander.
"I spoke to my family, Mum and Dad, and I did have to consider it," Thurston told the Australian newspaper.
"Darryl Halligan called me because Dad was a Kiwi. I was honoured someone like him would ask me. But in the end I decided to stay and pursue the dream of playing for Australia."
Instead Thurston made his debut for Australia two years later, coming off the bench in a 50-12 thrashing of the Kiwis.
He'll play his 24th test tomorrow night, his 16th against New Zealand, and has suffered just one defeat in the Kangaroos jumper - the 2008 World Cup final.

Yeah Croker just re-signed for two more years. Croker, Thompson, Fensom, Dugan, Justin Carney & Vidot were all part of that great u 20's team which won the 08 comp and they all started NRL around the same time which unfortunately meant a lot of their contracts expired in the same year and that was always going to make it difficult to keep them all. I think Fensom might also be off contract so hopefully he stays, can't believe he can't get a look on for Country.
