Yeah, Gubb might appeal to the South Standers and the casual social media fan, but he's a massive liability for not much upside. I couldn't believe the efforts he made on our line last week, it was absolutely brainless - which I believe him by and large to be.

How he's keeping out Vete, who is a much more consistent player with I'd argue even more upside, is just not sitting right with me. But we probably have a coach who just goes 'we won, so the team stays the same' minus Manu in obviously.

Wright will fall off the bench, or read SHOULD fall off the bench unless again, our coach thinks his 'if an outside back gets injured, having one on the bench is genius' line a couple of weeks ago still holds true. I understand our #10-13 CAN play 80 or nigh-on, but aren't we going to get the best out of them by having them rotated? We have enough quality in Vete, Lisone to give them spells. And if Sipley is gunning it in NSW Cup, or Lane is ready, or Sao is going to offer something, them too.

GUBB A WANTED MAN

The Warriors have been forced to move swiftly in a bid to lock down Charlie Gubb with rival clubs from Australia and abroad chasing the young prop.

Market Watch can reveal both North Queensland and Wests Tigers have been eyeing the enforcer, while he’s also caught the eye of Super League clubs Huddersfield and Wigan.

One club has been so impressed with Gubb that they expressed interest in luring the forward across the Tasman before the June 30 transfer deadline.

The Warriors however are well aware of the interest surrounding the 25-year-old and met on Friday to discuss rewarding his early season form with a pay rise and new deal.

The Warriors have the option to keep Gubb, who is on a modest salary, at the club in 2017 should they choose to do so and, while they’re planning on activating their option, the forward won’t be left out of pocket with the club to reward Gubb with an upgrade of $90,000 on his deal for next season.

On top of the upgrade, the Warriors will offer the 25-year-old an additional year extension which will keep him at the club until at least the end of 2018.

The f**k? I'm not saying let him go straight away, because he's not on much coin, but geez a bidding war? Am I missing something? Early season form?

lolz. Either Gubb has an exceptional manager, or the aussie media is making stuff up again, or our club's back to totally clueless. I hope it's the 2nd one.

Bizarre - not questioning his effort when he's on the field, but I don't see his value (maybe they're planning on flogging Crazy Charlie wigs) - mind you they upgraded and extended McFadden
