I am happy for the guy, I hope he goes well there, never seen anything special in him but if he works hard he can be a Green type player and come home to support the next Benji\Shaun Johnson type we uncover. Good succession plan for our current lot to ensure we continue our run of top 4 finishes in 2022.
Good luck to Ata, hope he has a great game.
Lot of pressure on the Raiders with 0-3 start.

Glad to see him get a shot.
I don’t get people bagging the guy for backing himself and making the move.
Really hope he goes well.

Yes I couldn’t help notice the irony in that one myself - another reason (albeit it in hindsight) he should’ve left the prying barb out.
Hope he goes well for them.

Ata would make a gun hooker would have to adjust to playing in the middle and probably get fitter but has the right skill set and is defensively sound i just dont think he has enough attack in him and his kicking games not strong enough to be an elite half reminds me alot like thomas leuluai.

Looks like Ata might get a first grade halves start sooner than most thought..
Form Ali’s Rumours on FB :
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS!!
Hearing the Canberra Raiders are set to release Blake Austin to the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Aiden Sezer to the Bulldogs.
Look out for major backlash with Junior Paulo and Josh Papalii who are also off contract and will be UNHAPPY if this happens.

We can only pray that Saint Stephen has appeared before Josh and Junior to promise them a safe haven from Ricky's carnage.

Off The Bench
Nah no room here
You watch by the end of the season .we won't
Want to change our forwards for anyone.
An our depth coming through will have our replacement
For Manner ring if he chooses to retire.
Just watch
Winston...
Wasn't there a run our of the Warriors sounding out Josh Papalii to replace a retiring Simon Mannering? Honestly Corvo could turn him into an absolute beast.

We'll end up with multiple Josh Papali'is in a couple of years if Corvo sticks around and the young players continue to buy in.

Wonder who will make the first move here.
Other related trades in play are rumoured to include:
Farah to the Raiders
Tolman to the Sharks
Crazy to think that the Raiders might get rid of BOTH Austin and Sezer, you'd think it would be one or the other.
I really didn't see Ata getting a shot at first grade this year after his move but here we are!
Tragic
Tolman and Fifita make for a pretty imposing pack if the sharks get Tolman, add in Gallen and they got some go forward.

It's ironic the warriors had to beat Canberra to make it 0-3 so Ata could even get a shot ( cheers)

If the Raiders move on one of their out of favour halves Hingano could see quite a bit of first grade. A good opportunity for a young half if he could help steer them out of the hole they are currently in. A big ask I know but it looks like there is an opportunity there for him to take.
Interested to see how he goes off the bench this week at dummy half. The other options off the bench haven't really worked out.
