Prepare for some news

I beg to differ - Foran has signed for the Warriors 2016

Right. So this is being announced before the season starts, yes?

I'm a little skeptical? but? but? but? You've got the supreme sauce?

That is excellent news, with him, Watmough and Matai we'll be looking good, and Manu to prop with an English import... :shock:

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I still think Kurtley Beale will be the difference maker.

So interview with Cappy on the radio this morning. Key points:
- No more signings for 2015
- Focus is now on quality signings for 2016

Will be interesting to see what cap room they have left for 2016 given they have already signed Foran via signed sealed and delivered LOI.

Was that when they signed Watmough?

Even if it were true, a LOI is not "signed" as in contract...

But do go on, good off season entertainment

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Just imagine if he's right - Tony could have a segment on his show called 'Get the Lion on the line' for all inside knowledge-based league chat.

Anyway, let's work on a hypothetical (because that's all it is) that Foran is coming. We'll need to clear some cap space, you'd think? So who's leaving? Who's off contract?

Townsend being the most obvious one given Foran's position.

Friend will go. Otherwise, there's not a lot on our off-contract list that a) is tying up much cap or b) players we want to keep.

Rapira seems the most susceptible, along with Matagi if we can find better options. Both need big seasons.

:lol:

If a letter of intent is all we have then we might as well use it to wrap the fish and chips for all it's worth. Means nothing when it comes to the final decision.

Will Tomkins stay around for 2016? If he does (and I don't know anything, but Lion might lol) I hope he's on a front loaded contract

Haha yeah, those worthless pieces of paper Tony Kemp used to bring into Kiwis camp that ended up being worthy only of wiping arses on.

I said last year I reckoned Tomkins would skip town after this coming season, if not before. Time will tell obviously, but it's got to be a chance.

Clasping at straws and a pathetic hit rate of inside oil :shock:

 

[Iafeta]

In fairness, letter of intent would hold value. PJ Marsh famously signed a letter of intent on an offer to the Warriors, tried to back out of it not realising he had infact been secured by the Warriors, and then obviously ended up coming up and being a friggen legend.

He hasn't signed for the warriors.

Which is completely true, but any time you can have a crack at the inept muppet that is Tony Kemp, you have to take it.

Vatuvei, Matulino & Hurrell are all off contract arent they.

They could easily offload Tomkins back to Wigan if he wanted to go home.
Likewise Townsend.

Matagi isnt going anywhere he would be good value - plays a whole year and doesn get paid that much

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Matagi is mud, needs to go

We took up an option on Hurrell until 2016. Laumape is off contract though.

Sam Rapira too iirc
