New players for Warriors?

[spear tackle]

I just heard a news report on the radio (with a short statement from Wayne Scurruh) that promoting the youth from U20's to first grade hasn't been working so they were looking at a few signings for next year.
No mention of who or where these players were coming from just that they were going to be "young first graders".
I hope they simply aint plundering someone elses U20 team.

 

[hitro]

about flippin time
i hope they look at old first graders too
quality is more important than age
we've already got heaps of kids

Well, according to Owen Glenn there will be a "super signing", although Bluey say no there wont.

My money is on a Chiefs mid fielder...

When did he say this??

 

[Aragorn]

i hope they dont tap into Rugby as a source of talent eg sign Nonu... no good will come of it... we need NRL EXPERIENCE

An admission from the Warriors that they may have taken the club development too far.

Languishing in 13th place on the NRL ladder and all but out of finals contention, the Warriors are doing plenty of soul-searching as they look back on the season.

CEO Wayne Scurrah admits they lacked experience with a number of senior players out injured.

"That's one of the learnings from the year is looking back and saying well, we bought seven players, three from the junior ranks, and we already had a reasonably young squad. Was that a big step?"

Scurrah says they are looking at their options to add experience ahead of the 2013 season.

YOUNG first graders.........the whattie? We need experienced veterans 100 games plus, types.

"We bought seven players, three from the junior ranks"
That leaves four seniors. One is Fiend. Who are the other three we have bought? Is he talking about Nielsen?

 

[hitman82]

I guess by "young" they mean non-retirees. IE, Matt Duffie as opposed to Shaun Berrigan.

well I`m happy to see that management havent been living in a bubble and are not delusional.

I just hope they dont go out signing rugby experience like some of you clowns are suggesting.

My money is on an ex-nrl player in SPL wanting to come home. Lance Hohaia?

I think he means the upgrades of a few Vulcans players. He was talking about 2012 recruitment the way I heard it, not 2013.

We should sign the dog f**ker. He's an epic player.

 

[Juju]

what a dramatic turnaround...

 

[Juju]

yeah I'd gladly have the doggylover here... or lance back

I might have missed that one. Who is that?

Centre/winger with origin and australia rep honours and dubious sexual tastes. Purrrrrfect. He's also off contract...

 

[JoeD]

Would not be adverse to that at all. Remember it doesn't count as cheating because it wasn't his dog!

 

[Aragorn]

Lucky we dont have a dog for a mascot. He`ll do perfectly.

He probably has a point to prove to media as well. The added grudge we could use to our advantage.

 

[jamaman]

are they having talks with Inu :crazy:
