Rumours and Stuff

[The Predictor]

Corey Allan released, weren’t you guys interested in him.

Apparently signed with the Roosters

I remember people on this forum saying the same thing about Papali’i when we first signed him. That he was a bog average forward from a bog average Warriors team.

They did bag the Papali’i signing but in contrast to Murchie, he had played over 60 games before his 22nd birthday.

And also Hopgood who is a good ball distributor. The quandary for BA is where to play the 2 players. Matterson seems to play best when in the middle,

Hopgood is a middle only.

I think BA will start Matto on the bench when he is back and bring him on as a lock.

BA will probably rotate them throughout the season.

Plus it depends how Murchie goes at second row.

The merkins on the latest Bloke in a Bar podcast reckon Asi is a one year only and going back to Cowboys in 24. Interesting if true.

Why?

Why would you do that unless we have an injury in the halves?

we also have JA

Maybe when we want to play a game with smaller forwards but lots of ball movement, Matto and Hopps will be playing at the same time.

Doesnt Barrett like lock ball players... We can have 2 at the same time

How can the Roosters sign more players? they couldn't even register that idiot with 9 and a half fingers!

They also have enough Wingers and backs for 3 teams... Maybe we can Sign Billy Smith!

Do what? The claim is that he needed a club for 2023 but had already signed for 24 back with Cowboys, I assume that's why the Warriors didn't see him in their plans as they have Johnson, Metcalf and Volkman.

Is that because Papali was in a crap warriors squad ? And Murchie in a good Canberra squad….maybe / maybe not…

Anyhow, key stat is Murchie was making 9.71 per run this year and defending at 93% in an average side….(Papa was 9.4 and 93%)…..so he has some ability

however BA did say something recently like that the new recruits “lack” fitness which meets their standards….so the key for Murchie is to get his fitness up to Papa’s standard to meet his output (15 runs / 143 m v 7 / 68)….

They Talk Hopgood up I think he will bring the energy that Reed brought to the side.

I've said it before but I've got a serious ROGER about J'maine. I'm glad Matto will be sitting out 3 weeks so we get to see him straight up.

Lets hope he has a great season and he turns into a fan Fav

I’m intrigued about Doorey’s potential.

He could be a very tasty signing.

I am still trying to find Doorey.
