That includes Going and TSS who are on development contracts so 2 unaccounted for. One might be Erin Clark but who is the other?

Leka?

 

[Makasene]

27*, AFB , Sj & Jazz are on that list.

I went and counted - it says 29 for 2025.

But it includes players who are on development but that list on NRL.com does not differentiate.

So who bloody knows lol

Cappy specifically stated that 29 of the 30 were locked in for 2025. Who that is is anyone's guess but we only have one spot left.

The club had to jump through hoops to even get one chartered plane for Vegas. NRL actually cancelled a Qauntas flight as they didn't believe we would even fill up one plane. Air NZ wanted desperately to charter another one but all their planes are booked for March and to take one out of service has dire consequences for the entire schedule down the line. Basically its impossible.

Recorded the whole thing except the opening line of Anthony Gellings intro poem.

They only have 2024 against them though.

 

[PullingTeets]

So was SJ going to take the 30th spot?

 

[Zaggo]

Did they give much information about the NRLW side?

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Was this the same one when someone asked why SJ was getting bugger all distance when kicking to touch for penalties, and Kearney acted like this was brand new information and they'd need to look into it?

I still remember the one when Brian Smith gave an impassioned speech about how bright the future was and how excited he was to be a part of it, almost immediately before he pissed off.

It's a real bug bear of mine too! You have a big boot! Kick it more than 10 metres please!

I'm not a member...I am a kiwi...massif warriors fan since 95..who is the attack coach of this team..it's totally fucked.....I have a feeling it's also the kiwis coach...not good enough....with the talent on offer...watch now the kiwis will do well...that will show that the coach it's shit and can only do well when he has the best of the best..and is incapable of amalgamating a team of journeymen....except ( AFB, Barnett,)

If Stacy Jones is the attack coach, then he is captain soble for anyone who watched band of Brothers

The lady that was a interviewed on 1 news about it looked like the cat that got the cream, saying can’t say anything yet but it’s good… That was right after the story about Stacey Waaka making herself available for the kiwiferns!

Or she could have been the female version of Cam George and her phone has been running hot… since 2019!

I asked about what is going to change for 2025 but got side tracked asking about the stupid DJ and then CG answered that question without Webby asking the other one .

The DJ? What was the question?

Some big news coming out in about 2 weeks. They didnt want to announce anything while the Olympics and NRL side were still going but some good signings to coming. They have 5 players to announce. The club are going all out to win it from the get go and taking the comp very serious...

 

[mt.wellington]

One interesting thing that got lost in all the noise was that the club have purchased land on O'Rourke Rd and plan to build a excellence centre there for their pathways system. Pretty big news IMO...

That is awesome news. Shows how much Mark is putting into the pathways system.

That is huge news - especially as if you're club's not doing this you're getting left behind other teams.

 

[mt.wellington]

Forgot to add that they are also planning on building one for the women's team and pathways system. I got the impression it was going to be towards the top carpark. As mentioned earlier they are taking the women's comp very serious...

Surely Micheala Blyde is one? She’s on the Warriors instagram page saying she’d be keen to speak with them regarding league. Would like to think they’ve approached Portia Woodman too

Given some of the rumored signings this is huge for the profile of the game here. And if a certain blonde pocket rocket comes over I can't wait to see how she goes.

Pretty certain Portia is off to Japan with her wife to play rugby there.
