Rumor Mill

[Wheeled Warrior]

We all wii find out. It's good to speculate and dream though. Out of the two great options it seems legally and more possible for Manu to come back in the NRL. The Warriors, Roosters or whoever. Kalyn has obstacles to get that over. The main one being legally. If the Knights let him go on a special agreement to free up cap is the only way Kalyn would be in a Warriors uniform.

Possibly. It won't take him long to get back to his peak. Also I need to correct my post and change the country from Japan to France. Also he won't be breakknt any contracts coming back to the NRL like the Ponga rumor.

I guess he'll have had rest playing union for a year either way

I'd kill for a centre like him at Rhinos .....maybe when he's in his mid thirties a d looking for a contract !

If we are talking Fullback replacements for CNK I would go back to Roger and or Taine for a year and then load up and go for Kini in 27

I was in the same boat, but looking at it I actually wouldn't be against a fullback for next season - ONLY IF THE RIGHT ONE IS AVAILABLE.

CNK goes, then we're down to RTS and Taine. Both seem to be good on paper, but the issues are

a) RTS is gonna be 32 in a couple of months. Yes, he is a Dally M winner, but he should only be viewed as a short term replacement if he were to go back

b) Taine, I feel we the Warriors need to solidify a position for him to avoid him becoming a Lolohea, or even a Hohaia in that the position kept changing. If the is the answer to be a fullback (and I'm not against that either), then it leaves us even more desperately short on wingers. Seems to be a fairly popular opinion that he could play in the halves.
