A Left field replacement Sorrenson to prop and sign David Fifita!!!!!! He would thrive in our system AND has a get out clause before round 10.
We just don’t operate that way.A Left field replacement Sorrenson to prop and sign David Fifita!!!!!! He would thrive in our system AND has a get out clause before round 10.
We hope so but nothing announced would have been a smart deal to make do you have any promising front rowersWarriors fan here....never saw that coming.
Handled well by both clubs. Also wondering if there is a background deal with warriors development players heading west
This I like actually, he hasn't been seen for a while

I'd be shocked if we weren't sounding out a least a semi-big name forward at the moment. Whether that's Fifita who knows. Think we need to make a statement signing shortly given the outs.

What do we qualify as a statement signing?
NAS , TPJ, I’m sure they may be available?
David Fafita would be a 100/1. Not gonna happen.
Fringe signing at best and we will rely on what we have within our ranks that is the way this will pan out.
As far as an immediate replacement for JFH we have his replacement in Liam Henry.
I'll stop you now, matterson is gutless, he also doesn't make your team better, the two you mentioned before hand are solid and can be built-up to be worthyYeah I am not sure they'll spend 800k. Stefano will be North of 650k. A few projects who are nrl ready but could go to the next level -
Trey Mooney
W.Grieg
A genuine first grader. I reckon Eels would chip in 100k so would be around 450-500. On his day great player R.Matterson.
Isiah Papali'i hasn't worked out at the Tigers. Might be another option.

Stop talking about the Eels...What about Papali'i? He was a beast at the Eels. Signed for 550k by memory. Not worked out. For around the 450k mark would be worth a shot. Very powrfull.
I’d be shocked if we were. Tago and May just got more money; if the rumours are true it was an extra 400k a year for Tago, so that is a majority of what we were paying Luai. May is probably looking at a 200k increase. Add another 150k at the bottom to sign another minimum wage player and the replace Luai with a cheapie has just allowed us to pay for Tago and May’s upgrades.I'd be shocked if we weren't sounding out a least a semi-big name forward at the moment.

It will be the same in the front row. JFH was on good coin, but it is likely that once we bring in another cheapie, and upgrade Smith, Henry and Kenny we won't have a lot of cash to make a splash.
We have the best juniors in the league and that is our competitive advantage. The fact that we have players on 150-300k pay packets who are consistently having there next contract be $200-300k more demonstrates value.
I think the real question is do we back the likes of Smith and Henry or do we go to market and replace them with someone at similar coin? Because I think it is unlikely we go after someone established.
