Why Andrew Webster's New Zealand Warriors revival has its origins in American rugby league

[Wb1234]

Wahs don’t want to have a second year syndrome like the cowboys and to a lesser extent cronulla

they haven’t been playing well for ages

getting shek back should be good a year in union isn’t enough to ruin a player

if he returns to form then they can surpass this year

A lot of us don't see where RTS will play. CNK has been incredibly good for us this year, he's probably top 3-4 in POTY along with AFB, Egan and SJ, although DWZ and Harris would be close, too.

RTS' defending in union was woeful, I know it's a different sport but how would he defend in the line? Jury is out. It's either that, or he plays on a wing. Huge $ for a winger to replace Montoya.

I think I read somewhere already that Webster said fullback is CNKs spot. Centre, none of us are sure. He defended poorly at 2nd five in union. And five eighth, yeah maybe? He'd have to adapt

Yeh he just said cnk is fullback next year

Haven’t they confirmed RTS is likely to be at centre? It’s our weakest backline position currently.

I reckon lock or 5/8th, got walker coming on as that role, but he can cover as a middle or edge, while rts is out there,
He would be a great attacking centre, but defence is key part of being a centre, i don't see webby justifying losing an edge to accommodate strike

Dont forget they lost a genuine superstar in Reece Walsh as well.

He wasn't a superstar at the Warriors. He was actually pretty terrible so it was a wee bit surprising to see how good he's been this year, the move was good for both the Warriors and Broncos.

The Warriors are a much better team with CNK at the back.

RTS' defending in union was woeful, I know it's a different sport but how would he defend in the line?

In all honesty I think he'll defend fine at centre. Midfield defence in rugby after being out of the game for so long is confusing. I don't think his issues were with one on one tackling.

Fullback, CNK to centre. The end.

Webster said he wants RTS in the centres
