Prepare for some news

[AJB1102]

I'd go:
1, Tompkins
2, Laumape
3, Matai
4, Hurell (when not injured)
5, Manu
6, Townsend
7, SJ

That would be a pretty bloody good backline.

If Tompkins could replace Townsend and bring in a capable fullback it'd be one of, if not, the best on paper.

 

[Rich102]

I think Townsend is going to have a really good year.

I think Townsend is going to have a really good year.

I think Watmough, matai, Foran, Hoffman and the 2 ESL recruits will have even better years for us.

Also great to see the back of Palavi, Vete and Bhana.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

I think it's safe to say it won't. We'd need to have a chance for it to affect our chance.

:lol::lol: Good point, well made

It won't be Mattai as Toovey was on sydney radio this morning and said Matai will be here this season and he said that "he has come to see me a few times to tell me he is dirty about what is in the papers". Basically it is only a re-hash of last year's story nothing more.

Can't say I'm too disappointed considering our center rankings of Hurrell, Laumape, Kata. If they are, in fact, going to announce a "big signing" I'm happy to have Matai ruled out as it ups the chances of it being Merrin.

Then hopefully the announcement this week is Merrin? Foran ain't coming and we need a prop more than a half, hopefully though we bumped up the asking price that Parra paid

Going by the theory that the potential signings that receive the hottest & loudest 'inside sauce' never come to fruition (J Hoffman, Foran, Matai etc), yet the quiet deals that go on in the background & we hear very little about often come through (Thomson, R Hoffman, Allwood, Wright etc).... I'll pick we've signed Merrin.

Tomkins is the exception to that rule of course.

The Lurker struggles, he's not the source you want. Having said that (I know, this sounds weird) I believe that - although it's something anyone could write with no real insight.

I hope there's still no one around who hopes/believes Foran is coming, it'll only end in disappointment.

Tony Veitch saying on his radio programme to expect a big announcement next week ... he thinks signing of Steve Matai.

Great if true.

So uhhh... It's nearing the end of "next week" and no announcement. Not too surprised. Perhaps there's going to be a new jersey unveiling today.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Surely there's a round one special Jersey? We can't wear the home strip til at least 8 weeks in, this the Warriors!

I actually quite like that, at least it sticks to the club colours.
