    2023/24 Off Season

    For Volkman? Is his shoulder, surgery will keep him out until late in the season. We have legally released him from his contract, so he's no longer a Warrior or even living in NZ. Really bad timing here, his management have f**ked this up big time. I assume he only had a niggle in his shoulder...

    The Rumours Thread

    Actually, I'm reading it's a 12 month deal, which could be a loan situation. He signed with us until the end of 25, and with SJ potentially retiring perhaps they want him back. From DT St George Illawarra have signed Warriors half Ronald Volkman in an immediate deal. The two parties agreed to...

    The Rumours Thread

    I would have like to have seen us keep Volkman, more of a game controlling 7 type, which is different to our others halves TMM and Metcalf, who are more secondary halves. But we have a back log with CHT back in our squad 2024, and when he didn't get picked over Dylan Walker when Metcalf and TMM...

    R19 Warriors v Eels

    Something was mentioned about his wife seeing a specialist this week, which would decide if he was playing. Who knows what that was about, but perhaps they put off an induction or something of the like.. For me this match will show if we are scraping to make the 8, or a solid locked in finals...

    RTS back for 2024!

    We've been missing quality in the centres for several years now, RTS will bring us a lot of attack out wide. Notice that the Warriors website note his playing position as back utility? He's 100% going to play out wide. Would be interesting to see what we're paying, I have a feeling it's not...

    Team v Storm

    With Kosi, Kata in his first season got absolutely ripped to shreds by Blake Ferguson I think it was. Was a horror show. Next match later in the season, Kata had one of his best against him. Give Kosi his redemption. Yeah correct above injuries, last week the updates were Barnett aiming for...

    New pathways for future Warriors

    Finally the club will be able to provide 5 years of NRL training and development, rather than relying on Schoolboy Union, and a year of SG/NSW/QLD Cup prior to jumping in the NRL squad. It will also let the club fully assess juniors over a long period of time, and cherry pick the best. To be a...

    Pre-season 2023.

    Looks like a classic first trial of the season squad, mostly NSW Cup guys with a sprinkling of first graders/guys pushing for starts. Still excited to watch, plenty of questions around the squad/team make up this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing the spine, TMM, Metcalf and Tuaupiki...

    Season 2023 thread

    I find it pretty crazy we can throw together a under 18 squad a few months ago and beat a Bunnies side at home, who have probably been playing in the Rabbitohs system for years together. It doesn't matter what talent we miss out on, we always have the cattle to put together a good youth side. We...

    Off season 2022-23

    Zerotackle is a regurgitated website, it's based off other media reports and isn't always correct (especially values). $850k was his Dogs contract which ended last season, which the Dogs were largely covering. Now his old contract has ended, he'd be down to the Warriors portion only, which going...

    Off season 2022-23

    Well it's reported the top wingers are on $500kish (the Fox for instance), he would be a step below that you would think. His Dogs contract was fullback coin, which he isn't getting with us.

    Off season 2022-23

    Dogs were paying for a good chunk of that, ended last season. His Warriors deal is far less than his old Dogs contract, but still probably over paid for what we get on the field.

    Off season 2022-23

    Lisone is pumped about joining Leeds to be back with Fus.. Fusitua on a cheap 28-30 squad spot would be OK, but I think Williame has that spot as a back utility. We're still paying our final portion of his Leeds contract this year actually. I think the club moved him on for reasons that...

    Off season 2022-23

    Transfer fees go into the salary cap I'm almost certain of? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere on this story.

    Season 2023 thread

    Yeah for sure. The way I'm looking at these 2 releases is it won't hurt our 2023 squad, as they are both young players a season or 2 away from being serious contenders for the 17, if they ever get there. It's a real shame that 2 juniors of the little stock we have are gone. Let's hope a couple...

    Season 2023 thread

    The Kepu's are really hard to judge. Did we give them long contracts too early? They didn't make it far in QLD, but was that because of the Dolphins/Warriors quota system? Or because they didn't stand out. Stats wise they didn't in the colts stuff or QLD Cup where they had only a few games, you...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    The Sharks are tough negotiators with releases. We signed Metcalf for 2023/24 this time last season, begged them for a release the whole season for no luck. He instead carved up NSW cup, was a replacement player for 5 NRL games and got 1 game off the bench. Wouldn't be surprised if the Sharks...

    Off season 2022-23

    Walsh is a cocky kid. He thinks he's a superstar thanks to the Australian media blindly over hyping him. He has a long way to go on and off the field. He'll get there one day, but I can't see him changing over night. Haas has surprisingly handled himself OK I reckon since cracking the big time...

    Rumor Mill

    I've seen these rumours Mix, but David Long has shot them down. I trust you more than anyone on forums, but he seems to have inside running at the club over the past few years?
