Looks to have regressed a little from what I’ve seen of him this year.
Change might do him good.

Yeah I agree with that. Im always a bit bemused when a player makes a statement like that, and then you look at his stats and there's been a clear dip in his out put....
Not that I think we'll even look at him, but if he was willing to return here on a mid level contract and attempt to earn a starting jersey he'd be a great replacement for Niukore/Barnett in the years to come. The Webby/change of scenery could be a big game changer for him.
His best years should be ahead of him, and he's shown glimpses of being a top prop, I'm semi interested lol

Just confirming De Belin to eels

So, I did a bit of a deep dive today and came up with some stats (plz move to different thread if appropriate).
DWZ's stats over the last three years.
With Berry:
24 games - 14 wins, 9 wins, 1 draw
58% winning record
25 tries scored
81 tries scored in the 24 games against the Warriors, 19 of those down Berry and DWZ's side - 22% of total tries
20 games with out Berry (2 not counted as DWZ started as fb)
9 wins, 9 losses
50% winning record
72 tries scored in the 18 games, with 21 down DWZ's side - 29% of total tries
Obvs a few caveats - impossible to consider games where there have been injuries and reshuffles in the backline, and I've only counted tries scored by opposing wing and centre, also peak 23 SJ was helping Dal get his numbers up too
For me it's pretty much hit the nail on the head. Rocco's not a star, but adds that extra 10% to Dallin's game when he's there. Dallin scores more tries and gets less scored against him when Rocco's centre. 10% in a game is pretty huge, could be the difference between a win and a loss, I hope these 2 make it back together for our run into the finals
Neame would be a better conversation than Zyon Maiu’u lol. Maybe he’s the one making Cameron George’s phone line go hot

How is neame in the convention? Did I miss somthing?
I'm not sure Neame has enough upside to be honest. He has played kiwis young, so will be wanting decent money. He's a big body, but no real attacking game except run it straight. Not really the Warriors style these days. No way I would want us paying too much for him, and he wouldn't be a starter here anyway. Most cows seem to end up at the Dolphins, hopefully he goes there to replace one of their aged guys.

Sounds like Jazz Tevaga heading to super league next year

If Perth play their cards right, I'd expect a big English contingent to form the backbone of the team. There are a lot of expats out west and it is quicker to get to and from than other Australian cities.

Sounds like he’s linked to dolphins at the moment
Interesting, considering both Kodi and Katoa are going pretty great in the halves and creating loads of opportunities.
I don't think their spine of Hammer, Nikorima, Katoa and Marshall-King/Donoghue needs much improving...

There were some rumours early on that they were looking at DCE, so obviously keen on an experienced halve. There was talk at one stage too that Katoa was keen on a move back to Sydney? Hard to imagine they let him out of his lengthy contract though. Think with Nikorima there’s potential for him to play 14 which he has been effective in the past

Hope he gets more $ there, Manly's getting toxic and he's not a hooker anyway
