Confirmed Signings

[MugaB]

A frustrated Todd Payten has implored rival clubs to stop paying lip service to the Warriors' plight, claiming only four "first-grade standard" players have been offered for loan despite his club relocating to keep the 2020 competition going.
....
But Payten said for all the goodwill that has followed the Warriors' season-long shift across the Tasman, many rival clubs are baulking when they have approached them about securing suitable loan players.

Hard up for players but release 1 immediately to a rival.

On the 2nd para if their approaches to other clubs were similar to their approach for Braden Hamlin-Uele then I'm not surprised they're baulking too.

I thought jack hethrington was a boost that they needed, maybe matt burton should look to get a month in 1st grade and take blake greens spot

We have halves. CHT, Nikorima, Keighran, Perham, Turner. We have literally no back up props due to season ending injuries to Ah Mau, Afoa, Frei. Paasi and Vuniyayawa has gone home. Jennings replacing Fusitua and Maumalo is sad, but needed!

Didn't Gallen say he would play for the Warriors at the start of resumption? He probably won't now as he is training for his fight, but I would've liked to have seen him play for the Warriors and now it sounds like they could actually use him.

Evans and Aitken? How do Warriors fans feel about this?

Evans as a reserve prop has been good after falling off the face if the earth after his move from the roosters.

Aitken would be dane nielson 2.0

 

[BLN2]

At least Aitken has a good running game. Nielson offered nothing other than being a SOO rep..

Aitken has upside. He's better than what we have for sure.

What's left of his brain is moving on to greener pastures at the end of the season

Well done roosters, $120k over 3 years well spent.

IMO Aitken has been our equal best this year along with Dufty and possibly Lomax. He’s been outstanding even though he’s got his critics - especially dragons fans but that’s nothing new from our lot.

Reckon he’ll be outstanding for the Warriors too.

that would be less that Politis's personal ass scratcher.

He’s one concussion away from retirement.

You could pay him $1m a season and he’d likely not remember he had it.

Just give him the big prop cheque and a Kinder Surprise he'll be none the wiser what you put in his bank.

Is thats whats happening with Boyd Cordner? Coz he is also a head knock away from retirement, no wonder they are ALWAYS under the salary cap....BS

I'm pretty sure you could offload a bag of orange $500 Monopoly notes to Boyd and he'd grin and say "thanks Nick" regardless of who handed it to him.
