Holy shit, so the pic posted on here of the JFH and NAS at the wedding wasn't photo shopped, never doubted it.

 

[Zaggo]

Wow wow wow.

Best signing of all time?
If he's not, then he's up there. AFB, Tohu, Price, RTS and JFH imo.

Do we know if they've requested any of our juniors or players? Hope we don't lost Laban, Zyon Maiu’u, Ali or Halasima.

I don't care what or who they want, I'd get on my knees if that's what it took to get it across the line.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

The Aussie media is going to have a field day over this.

Can't wait.

 

[juju]

Good things like this don't usually happen to us

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I love you AFB! May you and your wife sell brownies until you grow old!

 

[Warriors4lyfe]

So I just opened up Facebook and the first thing I see is a post from the warriors
Coming home 4 years JFH
I can't fucken believe it!

 

[WahsaurusRex]

Now, for the love of god, people, let's not be flakey when it comes to picking up/paying for Mrs. Fisher-Harris' brownies, please?

 

[Cces]

Can we just please take a moment & give a HUGE thank you to BHU for brushing us

 

[snake77]

It would be interesting to see how this worked out.

He may have saw that AFB was leaving and thought the Warriors are going alright. Moving home wouldn't be too bad an option. Then get his agent to talk with Cleary to see if a release is possible and then the Warriors to see if they were interested. The second one would have been a modest. We might be. Then hang up and go all Stone Cold Steve Austin HEL YEAH.

He probably checked the first few rounds to make sure last year wasn't a one off.

 

[Defence]

How many Kiwi captains are in the team now! Four?

3 golden boot winners too.
Tomorrow should be a national holiday!

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Now we need to re-sign Barnett, Capewell and Walker and what a team.

And Egan. Don't forget Egan.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Can we still get Trey Mooney

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

View attachment 6703

Fuck yes! Looks like our premiership window is much wider than most people thought.

 

[Hitro]

This is absolutey f*$king unbelievable

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Of course he was going to sign with us! He's hyphenated warrior!

 

[snake77]

The Aussie media is going to have a field day over this.

Can't wait.

From my point of view it is better than talking about Souths.

Can see tonight.

Welcome to NRL 360 the Warriors have pulled off a big coup in signing James Fisher Harris. What does this mean Kenty?
They remain a premiership force. Everyone worried about AFB leaving this plugs a hole.
Talking about holes. The Souths defense.

 

[RobRoyMcCoy]

Wow wow wow.

Best signing of all time?
If he's not, then he's up there. AFB, Tohu, Price, RTS and JFH imo.

Do we know if they've requested any of our juniors or players? Hope we don't lost Laban, Zyon Maiu’u, Ali or Halasima.

Also re-signing Shauny from the Sharks.

 

[hornbybrown]

Did Ivan do us a solid too?

Probably helps them with their production line of young talent coming through

 

[snake77]

This working from home caper is a lot harder in days like this. Keep getting distracted.

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

Fuck yes! Looks like our premiership window is much wider than most people thought.

We were wanting a 1 for 1 with AFB leaving. I'd say we're set in that.
