Who are we buying for 2021 onwards

The roger ones sounds more like the blues making a cheeky approach rather than roger looking for an out....

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Thought he was a 10 min wonder at the Tigpies?

Pangai has all the goods imo... whether he delivers on them will be interesting

Yeah he has all the tools physically, will just take a good coach to unlock the bit of meat inside his skull to get him going

I must admit its interesting to see the direction that the Warriors are heading,new coach,mentor and signings etc but if I was a player in the camp-a centre or middle forward for example-who had bought into the ' we are in this together boys' attitude,and are feeling loyal to Toddy,I might feel a bit dismayed.Rosters change every year of course but some will feel they are about to be cast free.and all the tightness of this group will count for not much-like at the end of the day ,thanks for your efforts in the midst of adversity but we are moving on.

If their response is "oh no I might be on the outer here" and not "I need to put in to ensure I keep my jersey" then they're welcome to f**k right off.

I.e if you're Hiku or Herbert, and you want to play for the Warriors next year, you have two choices. Do everything you can with the advantage you've got of already being in a jersey now and cementing your spot in it, or get down and let it slip away.

If they are really down for the cause and being with their brothers on the team, then rise above it and do it.

If RTS is going then I would strongly advise the club to make a massive bid for Cam Smith. Solve our hooker situation and provide leadership. Would be worth considering.

 

[Benek]

RTS and Harris are our two best players by a mile. We can't afford to lose either unless we have massive replacements lined up.

McGregor gone, I wonder if Dragons allumni Brown is feeling ok with his move

 

[Penrose_11]

Here comes the Brownie backflip you reckon??

Brownie out, NRL feel sorry for warriors, and give Flanagan an exemption to coach next year, but only for us. That might work.

But Brownie already did his dash as St George coach, so no back flips.

Albert Hopoate on loan from Manly for the next little while.

Hopefully that means Hiku and Hoppa in the centres, that's an improvement for sure

Thats interesting. I thought Manly were injury plagued like us.
https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2020...has been reached with,for the next four weeks.

Interesting that article says Hetherington remains in camp. I thought he would have got recalled to Penrith during his suspension.

Huge surprise, the kid is a potential superstar and many fans are calling for him to be in the Manly lineup now

Coming off 2 ACLs so hasn’t played for pretty much 2 years and hasn’t had any footy against men so Des might think it is a nice way to have a look at him while there is no NSW Cup

He’s just 19yrs old so a bit weird we’ve loaned a ‘green’ player like that when we’ve got our own young ones wanting game time. With Beale not here next year guess he’s very much on the outer

Hopefully he’s loving the club so much he wants to come across permanently?

I will relay this info, don’t know how good it is but seems legit and extremely detailed, that I came across on a Manly forum

I’ll cut it short, basically the guts of it is Manly have offered him 250k, his management believe he is worth more, club have said that their investment in him over the past few years getting him through injury and rehab etc is more than fair when he hasn’t played first grade, is just coming back from serious injury and has only played junior footy. Sounds like he hasn’t been training that enthusiastically which was relayed to his management and they said “we will show you his ability on the park”.
Another club, seems like the Storm, have said they are very interested but they want to see him on the park before committing their offer and magically this Warriors opportunity appeared. Warriors wanted 6 week loan, we said only 4, and we have the final right of refusal on any contract offered to him

His family have a history of chasing the dollar so will be an interesting watch going forward

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Brendan Elliott ACL today, Tom a chance for next week but it may impact this loan deal

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Pangai is an absolute fool lol, may be deregistered for next season, as when interviewed by the integrity unit he informed them he has breached protocols numerous times and probably would again !!

 

[Big Marn]

Rocks in the head

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Plenty of these blokes lined up in the size queue twice and missed the brains queue

 

[TheDMC]

Hope Cam Smith stays another year at Melbourne and we nab Brandon Smith. How good would that be!

 

[Penrose_11]

With Paul Turner likely to get a start Sunday, it’s a huge opportunity for him to show what he’s got. It looks like we currently only have Kodi and CHT lined up in the playmaker roles for next season, aside from maybe a Turner and Perham. Unsure of their contracts though. Releasing both Green and Keighran means Brown and Gould must have there eyes on someone coming in to fill that depth or even stating role. Burton from Penny Panthers maybe?
