Wairangi Koopu

[Beavers Headgear]

Just thought you people might be interested, I was listening to a Sports station this morning at work, and Jim Banaghan was on talking to Dean Lonergan (ex kiwi for those who don't know), and without comfirming it outright, they gave a pretty big indication Koopu will be signing with the Storm very soon

Bit of a nothing signing imo, but good luck to him

 

[Swainy87]

Goes alright, not a bad pick up for you blokes.

 

[kia ora storm]

Had a few injuries recently..plays a lot like Hoffman but would give versatility off the bench and carries a lot of experience.

Not a bad signing for depth.

 

[LESStar58]

Why Koopu? We have the likes of Kevin Proctor waiting to step up. Big wraps on the kid at the club.

 

[kia ora storm]

Proctor has promise but not ready for a permanent spot based on what I have seen...

warrangi is a tough merkin
he would be good for u guys

 

[Jamskee]

yeah, I go to almost all the warriors home games, and Wairangi is a very valuable player, I think he is rather under-rated to, he can play a number of positions and is a great impact off the bench too

 

[Phillips]

Koopu has been average the last few seasons for the warriors..

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Can play a few spots but hasn't really been in form for a long time.

 

[kia ora storm]

He has good pace for a forward and will add the experience needed in the forward pack...a good addition if this is confirmed.

 

[parra_jesus]

first kidwell , then crocker now koopu . not as great a signing as melbourne are used to , wouldnt be on much coin tho given your salary cap strain atm.

 

[AILD]

yeah ild like to proctor given more opportunities, he only really got a go when our origin players were out. Ild like to see him have a crack with the fulltime squad..definately showed some potential with the little time he had tho...would be a bit risky giving him a spot...but its worth it.

He will be an outstanding buy for the storm.

I think he will do well under Bellamy. Good signing.
