Internationals Kiwis vs Tonga 2022

[Boats n Hoes]

Man Niukores carries the ball heavy aye. Makes some great post contact meters, looking forward to seeing him with us next year

Geez its refreshing seeing centres that can make an impression and actually dent the line with strong carries........was in 2 minds about him playing in the centres for the Warriors but god it highlights how much of a power game we lack out wide......i would have no issues if lines up in the 3/4 line next season.

Just great to see international footy again.....great to see the fern go round again and the boys do the haka,

Tonga just lacked a kicking game and a bit of polish in the spine....needed someone who could finish of their sets and put them in the right parts of the park.....get that right and they'll be a handful for anyone.

Thing is smith, Hughes, brown and manu have all been targeted by the club and have all been talked about as recruitment targets on here and there have been people against every one of them signings- As if we’re too good for them 😂.
That is 100% proof that this forum wil NEVER agree on a a potential player signing.

I'd take them all any day. I know a good thing when I see it.

We know Kiwi's like to come to the Warriors to die on huge overs.

Based on this match who are the top three you would like to come to the Warriors to die?

For me it's,

Joseph Manu
Jahrome Hughes
James Fisher-Harris

Triple J.

Reckon we can get them when their collective age is 100+.

We tried for the first two .. said thanks but no thanks. Obviously had a lot of living left in them

 

[wallacenz]

its a quality set of outside backs too, good hands, pace, confident under the high ball

If we didnt offer 850k-950k for Hughes, we didnt go hard enough.

Before the Storm got Hughes no one wanted him, I wish we had real talent scouts who look for speed and stamina, heart and grit. How many Warriors would have more than one of those

In my time I’ve been to Carlaw Park, Wembley - Challenge Cup Final, SOO games, Cardiff Arms Park, Twickets plus English soccer games but the Tongan RL games are The best atmosphere!!!

Honestly, if these players we missed had come through our system they wouldn’t be close to the players they are now.

From a Kiwis stand point you‘d want them to all to stay at their own elite systems.

Only legit memorabilia I have is these legends.



Seems like a long time ago now. Back when the players cared too.

There's not really many players in the Kiwi team who haven't already rejected us at some point.

The pickings are thinner than our edge defence.

Imagine if manu and Hughes came to the warriors instead of staying at their clubs for unders 🫤😢

If we could just get a couple of kiwi big guns to come home it could have a domino effect like Tonga had

Dylan Brown and Tapine could be the next two to turn us down.

Dylan Brown already did

Cook Islands aren't that great, but Tevaga and Chanel Harris-Tavita are looking good for Samoa.

So many shattered dreams and broken promises since then bro. Makes you think, is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?

 

[Once A Warrior]

Joey Manu ran 398 metres!

 

[Uk Warriors fan]

If your Joey Manu & you want to play FB why would you stay at the rooster? It’s not even about coming to the warriors but surely if your behind a guy like James Tedesco & you wanted to play FB you move on, just seems like a waste of talent (my opinion anyway)

😢😢 my wife during the game “why don’t the warriors just get all the kiwi players 🤷🏻‍♀️ If they play for NZ then they must want to play for the warriors” 🤣🤣

Before Storm got Hughes he was like Chanel Harris-Tavita. Full of potential.

Next year one will lead the Kiwis to World Cup glory, the other taking a break and doing contikis in the UK.

Hughes should be thankful.

He dodged a bullet.

We were just too good up front. And we kept the ball alive.
