Player Tohu Harris

[JustLikeStartingOver]

If we’re being honest star players at the back end of their careers, the team wants to squeeze every last drop out of that lemon before it’s chucked aside. the players also probably push for it as your a long time retired and you won’t see that amount of money again but as we saw with SJ how much good does rolling them out there actually do.

If Tohus playing more than 50 minutes a game next year that’s poor. Mannering spent a lot of his last season off the bench.

Tohu not retiring.

Reserving judgment on this until we see if he's back to 2023 form after his surgeries. Might have had chronic foot or leg injuries restricting his mobility as well as a fractured wrist later on. Here's hoping he does come back to his best.

Not sure if the Storm are the best example. Munster was being needled up until he finally broke down. If theres a stats person out there I'm sure he was having more groin touches per game than passing receipts in the end.

Yeah I know

How did we go that season?

How did we go that season?

That was Kearney’s one good season, I had forgotten but it was Tohu (prime), Blair (old) and Papalii (young) as the first choice with Mannering coming in as required.

We have the old and young spots covered next year but we don’t have a dominant back rower / loose forward in his prime years.

Really I don't care who we have or don't have. But how we manufacture form and confidence and apply that under pressure consistently throughout the entire season is what I want. So if Tohu's that. Sweet

Id be interested to know if Tohu remains as captain next year.

If he wanted it, maybe. Don't think he'll want it.
Got Barney & JFH, surely the 2 of them can do what he's done on and off the field (we generally don't get to see the 2nd part but its huge).
No doubt I'm a huge fan of the big fella and honestly don't think there's been a captain of the warriors before thats had to do the job like he has - lead through a pandemic away from home and all the dramas that unfolded & still get up for 2023, like they all did, is no small thing.
Let him focus on his footy, pretty sure thats what he will want to do, potentially for his last year.
He's not an ego-driven personality so I reckon he'll give 100% towards whoever has the role & 100% to his own role in the team.
Thats my take anyway
