What are the odds of Danger being here next year? Any teams looking for experienced backs (besides us) Sharkies..maybe Bunnies? Hope so. Yep Bunnies can take danger, f**k off and leave Konrad alone

I can see Hurrell leaving.
The talk about him not getting service is just another reason why he could end up at another club that offers him service, Melbourne would.
I am sure the Broncos would.
I would put Hurrell on the bench and use him as impact or on the wing until he gets fitter.

Either way, i cant see Hurrell staying if Matai comes to the club.
Laumape is a winger.
Hoffman at the Broncos is a winger, played out of position and the Broncos are going like busters as well because coaches want to shift teams around and you end up with dogs breakfast's.
Henry at Hooker is slow service and wasted on the kiwi team.
Same as Hoffman at fullback. He cant take the impact and gets injured.

Rumour had it the Bunnies were looking at Ferguson, or was that the Rooters?

Anyhoo, Konrad strikes me as the sort of guy who is more than happy with his lot in Auckland. Family is most likely there, friends are most likely there - if he's not the most motivated sort of bloke, I can't see him chasing opportunities in a new city unless his situation is truly dire here.

And he's here until the end of 2015 so this conversation can be had in a year's time.

Hurrell is one of the "freshest" guys going around. I think it would take a lot for him to move out of that environment where he's comfortable. For better or worse, the Warriors type of culture fits him much better than anywhere else would.

Geez dude we've already explained it to you if Matai comes, its for Neilsen, not for Hurrell.

Fair comment. Dane Neilsen has fallen to ruins here. Trying to play inside Manu, and with our overall culture.

Dane need's a stable winger than he can trust on his outside to be able to perform.

Yep, I do wonder when someone will make the judgement that the upside of having him on the wing isn't enough... graveyard for centres, that. Wouldn't mind having Manu off the bench into the back row at some stage...

There is some irony given they don't see enough upside in Hurrell at times...

What about Carlos Tuimavave. ?

If Hurrell stays then Carlos must go, he is too good a talent to be wasted in reserve grade.

Unless of course Hurrell shifts to the wing, even then you have Manu, Laumape, and the Fish.

All these players are too good to be waiting around in reserves, the big dollars will come calling.

Just need to find a player suited for Manu. Which would be a class act TBH.

I think what makes Neilsen look so bad is he needs to either cover for Manu, or overplay's his hand by not trusting him in the first instance (who can blame him).

Errrr, Carlos is one of the crappiest players we have on our squad. He most certainly will be released.

None of what you post re warriors players in accurate.

Carlos is never going to get a shot here no matter what happens. Centre is his weakest position right now, which is the only place we can find for him when he does get a chance. He needs to find a team that needs a back up fullback/5 8 and get some more FG experience then eventually maybe will be ready to play centre.

Talk today boys about Hurrell to the Chiefs.
We all know once these players start talking about union it's all over. Hurrell is gone, gone i tell ya.

As for Carlos, he stared last night for Samoa, and the other winger who went off injured in the last Warriors game. He is another that the warriors cant afford to lose.
It's funny how you keep denying what i am saying, yet every day the drums are getting louder.

Wasn't Inu playing at the Warriors. ? He had a blinder last night as well, and can kick a ball alright as well.
A centre Inu. ?
They slipping through your fingers, Hurrell be next.

Off to the cave to sink the boot into the game.
Watching the Fijian side last night struggle without even a playmaker is criminal.
Eligibility is killing this code.
They have got to loosen the rules so the international game is not turned into a joke as well.
How good is Sam Moa. Impressive.

No one is "beating the drum" for Tuimavave. Not one rumour. Nada. Zilch. The only time the chap left for an Australian club he got homesick and had to come home.

Inu was at the Warriors. And was dropped to reserve grade for a poor attitude. You may have noticed the table topping Bulldogs who took Inu from us has done the same. He was pretty much on the outer at Parramatta for the same issue. Krisnan is a great player when he needs to be... IE, my career is on the line, IE its a finals game. Other than that, he has a poor attitude. Remember, this is the bloke everyone was talking up coming up through the high school systems in Australia, the next big thing, the bloke who played test footy after 1 game. If he fixes his attitude he's a world beater. Until then, he'll take up a chunk of change in the salary cap and not really care what the result for your club is.

If international eligibility got any looser, she'd cost no more than $5 and you still wouldn't touch the sides.
