Just some thoughts on retention as that's the most likely of all signings and non signings.
• T Harris: would be happy to let him play out next season and like
SJ assess by the end.
• D
Walker: Would love him to extend but on past history with matters like this and our own knowledge of being away from family, the warriors probably just need to let him make any calls and grant it.
• C N Klokstad: I would definitely let him go to November 1 and fight for a place next season, needs another huge one to stay for me, this year is a step back for me, he didnt develop a passing game, enough battle rams in this team.
• B
Afoa: If he leaves so be it, happy if he stays on next season, we could do with his experience but that would be it, it would give our young ones another year to develop while
bunty is here.
• D W Zelezniak: Need to Extend this man, there isn't another winger we could sign that would be better and nobody is realy ready to take his spot. With a game to go he's still scored 13 tries with how bad our right edge attack has gone! He's got more to give.
• M
Montoya: Happy if he is here for next season but that's it! He's not going to get better and I already think
RTS has his spot. Depth Guy.
• E
Kosi: Big Ed does not have a place in this team for me and we could be using his spot in the 30 for a better player.
• T
Ale: I want to see the club keep the faith in this guy, he's not had his best season but most haven't this year, with
Bunty on the way out his further development worth it. Would like to see him play lock, I know he's got a pass and offload in him.
• A
Leiataua: Must extend this kid and lock him up here long term. He's building nicely and it won't be long he will get his defense right and we will have a real strike weapon on the left edge.
• J
Ford: I'm happy for the club to extend jacco, he's a real goer! He's got errors but he's got heart and works his arse off! He may get taken over but has enough experience worth keeping.
• T
Tuaupiki: Extend this kid! He's building nicely in cup this year he's the next Starting fullback for us. Could even be that guy next year with
CNK and
RTS at the club!
• T M Martin: Happy to to extend him as back up guy. I'm surprised we haven't tried him at FB at times. He could actually go alright there.
• A
Pompey: Extend him! He's a decent man to have plug holes happy for webby and co to keep working with him, his kicking is a bonus.
Now I have a thing I call Cup Killers, these are guys who have killed cup and should be straight into the 30 IMO for 2025.
That goes to G M Taufa, what does this guy need to do to get it? He's made his debut and has gone okay. Woth the spot for developing while in the 30, he's good enough for some other NRL teams. He should take
Ed Kosi spot in the 30.
Cheers, peeps!
