Rumor Mill

[MKEB...]

Lol new strength and conditioning coach announced coming over from the pillar of strength that is the Wallabies

From what I understand; the guy is actually pretty good. Albeit, he might be a touch softer on them poor darlings.

 

[Matiunz]

ANY signing rumours to tide us over?

 

[Rich102]

Short answer no. We only have one space available and they are not likely to fill it before next year.

 

[VillaTheGorilla]

Don't we have a shit load of money available though. And we've had a few players from the playing group leave, so I thought we'd have a few more spots freed up

 

[Rich102]

I think a couple of development players have been upgraded.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Pompey and Katoa have been upgraded. Egan added too.

 

[Big Marn]

I think a couple of development players have been upgraded.

If we were looking to start developing them really young, theres a giant 11 year old in Australia who cant get a gig. Might be worth looking into.

 

[Rich102]

We have no real history of developing young players since Ackland left.

if he’s that huge he’s unlikely to end up much good, seriously massive units don’t have the stamina or mobility for the modern game.

They seem to be able to eck out a few good years (I'm thinking Learoyd-Lahrs, Shannan Boyd, Sam Kasiano, Nelson Asofa). Maybe that's the exception tho?

 

[Leber]

I reckon there’s more space for players but it’s a case of nobody wanting to come.

When even Kurt capewell rejects u, that tells u something.

There weren't too many top flight players available for 2020 that I would have been happy with.
Hopefully were happy to bide our time and with a bit of coin behind us at the end of nek year and not too many upgrades on the cards, hopefully we have a bit of a plan about what we're looking for

Word is one of your ex-players is in a spot of bother with the law.

already being discussed in another thread. Has name suppression so no names please (we all pretty much know anyway)

 

[Matiunz]

Anyone know if this Tino rumour has any legs?

For latest news see the thread below:
Have the Warriors signed Tino Fa'asuamaleaui?

 

[Rich102]

Rumour going around that Warriors are chasing Ben Murdoch Masila.

Rumour going around that Warriors are chasing Ben Murdoch Masila.

YES SIGN HIM UP NOW.

Hitting his prime, 120kg and a damaging player. 3 years, please.

Then invest in Katoa & Ale. That way we keep them for less and they will stay.

This is the guy to invest in. He has been more of a beast dominating in lower grades than Tino too. He is our own Jason Taumalolo if Kearney just gives him and opportunity. I have been banging the drum on this kid for 2 years now. One of the best forward prospects I have seen in the Warriors system for 10 years.

 

[Cold Roses]

Rumour going around that Warriors are chasing Ben Murdoch Masila.

Saw that. Be a good pickup for us. Him and Afoa starting with Ah Mau and Paasi off the bench next year is about the best we can probably hope for at this stage.

 

[LeagueNut]

Found in the Sharks forum...

I’m hearing some pretty solid mail Warriors are about to throw big money to Toby and they want him now. The club better be onto this or else. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Anyone know anything about this? Toby Rudolf, 23yo prop, fringe first grader.
