Surely this is a gee up...info anyone???

Could almost lock it in.

Konrad Hurrell tweeted a picture of him, Neilsen and a couple others saying this would be their last meal as Neilsen is back to Sydney.

A poster on another Warriors forum (gets info direct from the players, can't remember him being wrong often) said it was to the Dragons.

Looks like Santa has swung by early for the Dragons and they're definitely on his 'naughty' list.

Enjoy this lump of coal in your stockings,

Where is the money coming from? I thought we had salary cap issues?

 

[Twenty10]

He's cheap. And farrel and beale will be gone. Dane is better than both IMO and a shit load cheaper

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Hope he goes well for you lot.
He didn't live upto expectations here (well, my own personal ones anyway)
Perhaps a change of scene and being back in Australia will do him well.

Beale is no world better but he's a country mile better than Dane. Have you watched Dane over the past 2 seasons? A whopping total of 2 tries while he's been here and a liability in D.

Yeah it's a done deal.

Decent distributor, poor runner of the ball, average defender. Hopefully he suits your team better than he did ours.

Agreed. Dane Nielsen is garbage. Beale, Farrell and even Matautia are better. Nielsen is older, slower, zero footwork, no noted passing ability. He's just a man in a jumper. Twenty10 has some very bizarre opinions about players.

Once again it must be said: lol @ saints. We are a joke.

 

[KiamaSaint]

I think it's a great signing. Hopefully cheap.

Do you watch rugby league? How many Warriors games have you seen in the last 2 years?

agree with you there.
We needed a reasonable quality centre and Beale and Farrell just didn't deliver.

Funny how we have been garbage now for 3 years but we keep defending the non performers who have contributed nothing in that period.

Does that include the Board and CEO?

Nielsen is a waste of space. If we insist on reducing our spend in the backs and cutting Beale or Farrell, we'd be better off giving Runciman more time or even an under 20's player like Aitken

Spot on.

If they gave the young guys a run you would complain about our lack of experience.We get it, you're a grouch. Maintain the rage.

 

[grouch]

ps Beale was one of our best performers this year at left centre. And Farrell can hardly be blamed for our lack of performance this year

 

[dragonreddy]

Absolute joke of a signing,has nothing in attack and his defence is abysmal.

Anyone defending this rubbish signing ,have you watched this guy play recently, impossible to find any positives.

How much time do we give Runciman,tbh I thought he was good on the wing,but I am sick of waiting for a player to come good while teams strengthen their squads.
Don't get me started on the Board and Ceo.

Not the best signing...more upside in a Farrell/Mata'utia centre combo...

Happy to be proven wrong...
