Will Wah-Brick.

Happy?

Dead Man Switch · Mar 30, 2026

Wil Warbrick certainly increases the athleticism, size and threat level in the back line. Would love to see AKP earn the other wing spot to become our fox - speed demon. He looks like he is working hard to get there too.

Three-year deal confirmed for Warbrick from next year

I mean can only assume a warbrick signing means they aren’t that keen on AKP. As far as I can remember hes been exclusively on the right wing

AKP is a left winger. Should take RTS spot next year unless someone rises up.
Timoko would be a great signing if we can snag him.

Anderson out for 3 months with a high grade MCL injury. I wonder if that closes that door now

Probably an easy acquisition now could play the last 8 rounds then play off sudden deaths...

Wellington Warrior · Mar 30, 2026

Great signing is Wahbrick….. does he also come with Hughes and Grant??

MrFrankWhite · Mar 30, 2026

Big fan of the Wahbrick signing. If they can perform, AKP & Wahbrick is a deadly combo.

CWC · Mar 30, 2026

? Anderson
2. WW
3. Timoko
5. AKP

Could be new players for half the backline next year....

Where has this Timoko talk come from?

Only thing I can recall is someone mentioning he's on the outer at raiders as a potential target.

His value will be lower currently. Time to talk.

I think that's a good read of how Broncos would try to get the warriors to still accept Grant rather than the Broncos having to pivot to a different option.

Ricky Stuart mentioned last week that he has given Timoko permission to negotiate with other clubs for 2027

He can negotiate with clubs now. He has a mutual option for 2027 with the Raiders.

EDIT - hmmm NRL signings tracker says club option though for 2027, 2028. Thought it was mutual for 2027.

I feel like a lot of people aren’t as excited as they should be about this signing.

We’ve got an aging backline, with no real aerial threat. This guy is borderline the best in the comp in the air. He brings a wealth of experience, multiple GFs, has been apart of an elite club, is an international winger & is an Olympic medalist.

This could genuinely change our entire attack. We haven’t had an aerial option in years. Cappy bringing another kiwi home. Loving our recruitment processes lately, nailing it.

I think its just the fact that in the past the big Melbourne storm signings usually fall flat,
Ryan Hoffman and Dane Neilsen to name a few i think our structures under Webster that a Warbrick type player should flourish like Tohu did.

I guess that Akp is more of a Morgan Harper replacement than anything at this point.
