I thought the warriors were an interesting choice given they have a rubbish spine but then I looked at our team list this week.
Who’s responsible for our roster management? Outside of Milfords ridiculous contact, where does the money go?
Seibold, Nolan, Lockyer and White.
Bennett also played a role.
However it's largely a botched attempt at a rebuild which happened to coincide with a global pandemic. Brisbane can't begin the recovery process until Donaghy officially joins the club in May and even then who knows?

Baffling move by us.... I get we don't want to overpay but sometimes you need to take a punt. We should have done it with Munster years ago. Maybe our coaches don't rate him.
Anyway if he's gone I don't really see the point in developing him all year... Let him go to Warriors/Redcliffe now and bring in someone else.
Nicho Hynes maybe?
That's the type of player they should be looking at, just honest players who are looking for an opportunity and can do the job.
I wouldn't rush to any decision. The game changes so much so quickly I'd just let things play out a couple of weeks and see how the options stack up.
I don't blame the Warriors for exploiting the situation, but it's another instance of how ridiculous the lack of a trade window is. Walsh has basically been assured the fullback spot for the next three seasons after doing nothing in either QCup or in the NRL. I don't see how it's fair on the club that did the lion share on developing the player or on the market when the Warriors are essentially taking a punt.
