Good low risk move

Bunty Afoa being offered to Super League clubs

Probably time I reckon. He’s hit his ceiling with us

Yep, no big loss. Seems like a nice bloke but feel like he got a reputation as 'off the back fence Bunty' purely on his haircut. Good defensive prop, never bent the line.

A year ago I would have said Adam Pompey should be on the same plane, but last season he carved out a depth slot for himself - so have to give him his dues. Still has a NRL career for a bit longer.

Yeah plus Bunty has been with the club for longer, and he doesn’t kick goals. Pompey honestly other than his lack of speed is a pretty useful all round player.

Jesus lol, just listening to a podcast and Brandon Smith is on there, they are talking about Ben Hunt and Smith says Roosters could use him, the other mentioned Chad Townsend and Smith had no idea they had signed him haha, he isn’t the full quid

Talk of Papenhuysen seriously looking at a move away from the Storm as he is now on the market

Have a feeling they wouldn’t be disappointed to spend a bit less on their spine with Fa’alogo there, and invest that money into some more forwards

Storm don't get this wrong to often.

Dolphins seems to make the most sense, though Roosters dont play by the cap space rules (with their affinity for brown paper bags), so maybe they can fit Hunt in there too. Also Sam Walker is being reported as signing for 2 more years and that wouldnt have come cheap.

Manly making some good moves

I think he hit our doesn't suit our new Warriors style, hopefully I eat my words when they bring in another top class prop or two.

dont mind it if its a depth piece signing. injury cover for metcalfe, can kick goals, bit of a kicking game. Sometimes you have to sign a few journeymen so you have the $$ for your main targets and can stay under the cap.

When are we getting these main targets?

i was sort of referring to what we would be paying JFH a season and working back from there to stay cap compliant. I have no idea how far ahead the Warriors plan their cap strategy. Have the NRL been increasing the cap each year?
