Great news.. hopefully locking in Crosby isnt far behind.

 

[Campion]

he’s only 93kg! Quite small

Must be all muscle because he doesn't look small

Had a thought just now: TSS only got his chance because Maiu'u went to the Dogs. Yet here TSS is playing FG, with a contract until 2028, while Maiu'u is playing reggies for the Dogs, and doesn't seem to have got close to their FG team, despite all the injuries they've had...

Ah yes good point... TSS was only elevated to the top 30 after Zyon had been released wasn't he? Wow.. sliding doors moment right there. Stoked for the young fella.

I remember being pretty critical of Webster for releasing Zyon at the time; thought it was going to be another Katoa situation for us. Could still be over time I guess... but so far, coach was on the money.

Maiu,u even had a couple of games for the grade below reggies

Big news for One NZ Warriors fans with Tanner Stowers Smith signing a new deal.
He was in hot demand in Oz.

Very good signing..

 

[Beavers Headgear]

TMM has said he has been told he is surplus to requirements next year

 

[SpaceMonkey]

RTS is apparently being linked with the Saudi-backed Rugby 360 comp for 2027 - doesn't worry me greatly as he'll be ageing out of NRL by then and probably wants a final retirement paycheque.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck set to drop contract bombshell on Warriors

The star is considering a shock move.
