Who are we buying for 2021 onwards

[Izz]

Maybe he got miffed that we were okay with trading him for Walsh & decided to give us the finger & leave?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yeah... Turner leaving was a bit weird. We wanted to sign him and he would have played first grade with us (our halves aren't much better than theirs). Plus it was reported that we offered more money.

Should have kept Perham aswell.

I think it was another Mason Lino situation with Turner. At the time of negotiations he was a way back in the queue for a first grade spot and so he left to get a more guaranteed start. Then in the space of a few weeks injuries and form changed the picture.

 

[WellsNZ]

Maybe he just figured he's fourth in the pecking order here and if he went to the Titans he had a better shot because Taylor sucks

goven how good Walsh is I think he should swallow his pride on that one. If Walsh was a spud, then yeah

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Because our halves situation is a dogs breakfast and Warriors management may be reassessing thingsI

Hearing rumours that Warriors are going to talk to Dufty

surely we can’t afford Nikorima, Walsh and Dufty in the same side - defence would leak points

The club have said no to both Norman and Dufty I thought? Whilst we do need to get our spine in order. These 2 will be a few steps backwards imho. Defensively not the greatest. Norman's 5th play options are not too flash similar to CHT. Dufty is effective with ball in hand but without the ball he's one of the worst FB in the NRL.

Keep looking Warriors.

Rumours of Widdop to Warriors circulating

If hes coming from England he needs to secure a flight and do some quarantine right? And then he needs to train with the team a little bit if he is coming to play halfback.

If he is only a signing for this year, seems kinda pointless as it would only leave 6 or 7 games tops for him to play. If he is here next year too then fair enough, play on.

DWZ done by the sound of it

Really like the signing. Hope we dig around and find a Justin Murphy or less rapey Michael Crockett type speed winger to go with him

 

[nswarrior]

The reality is he is $600k cheaper than RTS and the team won’t lose too much - we lose a bit on leadership but gain some pace

hope I am not being too harsh

the salary cap management looks heaps better

need a top rate half, centre and front tower and we are too 4 material

bring back princess!!

Both Lodge and Widdop rumoured mid season.

 

[Sanchez]

Lodge again? He'd have to have a massive chunk paid by Brisbane

 

[Tongue]

Put a line through SJ. He’s off to the Dogs.

Think that’s harsh, DWZ isn’t playing the same sport as RTS, not saying it’s a bad signing but RTS is special

 

[jaseg]

I'd look at it more like he's going to be roughly the same price as Ken. If he's better than Ken that's enough to at least be satisfied, if not thrilled.

Id probably have hooker before another prop and centre

CNK to fullback/centre would be a smart pickup. RTS going to Blues leaves $1mil to spend for next year. His kids live in NZ and he’s pretty much spent most of his time here since his injury. He covers a couple of spots and has game braking flare. Canberra is restructuring and already talking to Dufty

 

[JJ]

I like CNK but he’s a first grade fullback, and a good one…. Surely he’d be signed to play there? Guess the key is what’s the plan with Walsh?

if we really wanted a centre/fullback utility we let a perfectly decent one in Hiku leave…

 

[Leber]

CNK at 1 and Walsh at 6 would be good, but it looks like Walsh is being groomed as a fullback solely.

 

[Penrose_11]

Look at Joseph Manu at Roosters. Starting centre, covers fullback thru injury and State of Origin and has even filled in at 6. CNK was actually a 6 in Melbourne U20s so covers multiple spots. I’d certainly sign him as a centre. He’s currently on bout $350 season so even with upgrade, it’s probably not a bank breaker. It’s probably more of a work/ life balance for CNK especially with young family involved, so could move with the right deal
