Yeh, i cant follow the logic either. Are the Warriors saying that Nikorima and CHT are indestructible in the most violent competition in the world? Wheres the depth?

It looks like the plan is to make do until they can sign a marquee half.....with the option that CHT (or Turner) grows into that special player without the spend.

Jayden as the cover/longshot play.

At no time in our 25 year history do I recall us ever signing a marquee half. So we jettison our back up because we are about to buck the trend?

Point taken on the marquee half but never say never

Not sure if AK was even back up half these days though....utility centre at best.....

Guess that depends on how you view Greg Alexander at that point in his career

Him and Blake were past their use by date by the time they ended up here. Not marquee in my opinion.

which could have made him more valuable. able to cover multiple positions if required.

Alexander wasn’t age wise it was more about the tragedy

he wasn’t used well here imo

but yeah, he’s the closest

Wonder what Nathan Brown's aunty is up to, maybe we can sign her next to play lock?

To be fair the signing is an okay one. i don't mind this at all. Keighran was out of favor and luck with the Warriors. Sad to see him go though I was a fan. These signings are all solid with safeguards in place. Move on and welcome aboard.

I'd take an Iro kid or two if there are any
What has happened to the next generation from the likes of the Ropatis, Vaganas, Tuimavave, Panapas, Tatupus, Manns? Sorenson family still seems to be active over in Australia.

Shem Tatupu scored an ARL contract (Hawthorn?), but don't think he ever made it... he'd be 24 ish now, might be back in NZ - shame, big union/league talent, like his old man very skillful and strong - he was a real star in the Auckland first XV comp, Warriors should have gone after him

I thought I read somewhere that he had big raps, playing for junior kangaroos or something... Can't find anything about him now... Can anyone confirm, or has heard anything of the like.

Slightly confusing to have Keighran go, only for someone like O'Sullivan to come through hey
