Rumor Mill

[BLN2]

Drags forum are saying we've thrown an offer at Patty Herbert - Ex JK and NYC captain. Seems rated, centre. I'd say he could be eyed up for Gellings spot.

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

Just curious about rumours and signings for next year?
I might be incorrect but aren't a lot of big name signings or rumours already complete around about now?

Haven't really heard anything..

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

3 Clubs rumoured to be after Jazz Tevaga

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Better lock him up on a Taumalolo deal quick smart.

 

[BLN2]

Would he start at any other club? And what position.. If jersey 9.5 (Half hooker, half prop) existed, he'd be the best. Although Havili would give him a run.

Good on him, would be nice to keep him but wouldn't put him on a big deal or anything..

What’s happening with our hooker options for next year? Luke still unsigned.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Nathaniel Roach
Sam Cook
Kayne Lawton

Just have to hope Roach is over the injuries, certainly has the talent

What’s Luke on? Should be able to afford a prop plus an upgrade on Kata?

Reports that Issac Luke has signed with the Knights for two seasons, and will be announced after the two-week cooling down period.

If so, I fear for 2019. We'd be banking on Roache being fit (huge if), one of the other guys in the squad (Lawton, Tevaga, Cook, Cherrington - yikes) or signing someone for the same money.

It's really disappointing if true. I know Issac has the tendency to suck in non-contract years and we've heard whispers of him disrupting the group...and if that's the case, then fair enough as long as we have a plan. Warriors with Luke and sans Luke this year were two different beasts.

Maybe the deal includes a swap with one of their current Kiwi hookers?

Yep, be interesting to see how we go without Luke next year.

Not the sort of rumour we want, by the way Cherrington went mid year and Tevaga and Sam Cook are also unsigned for next year. Also heard a rumour that Mason Lino is also about to sign a two year deal with the Knights.

Luke brings a lot to the team. We will miss him.
Depends a lot on what we do with the money.
James Graham or David Klemmer maybe?

If we get either of those two that's me done for the Warriors, which without an adequate replacement for Luke wont be an issue as we'll be hopeless anyway.

You don't like quality Matua? Or you think we should be an all NZ team?

I can't get over how much those two were Karmichael Hunts in that match at homebush where they completely lost the plot and went nutso at the ref. I'm even more surprised, well not really, that no one in the NRL really gave a shit about it and it was also unsurprising that their fans went nuts too after seeing the players doing it. It seems being good at league excuses that kind of behaviour. They're not the kind of guys I want in teams I support.
