Someone pinch me.

 

[RTS’s Calves]

Unpopular opinion but I would replace AFB with a good first grade prop but not a marque, we need to redistribute some of our cap to the spine. I would be using the balance to make SJ a good offer to go one more year.

How about now?

 

[Rizzah]

HOLY SHITTTT!!!!!!!

 

[Completion Rate]

Geezus, and to think we were reportedly close to using that coin to sign BHU

All a smokescreen mate. It's worth doing some tirekicking in the lot before driving off with ya new Hilux!

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

james fisher Harris!!!!!!!!!!!


I've just shit myself!!!!!

 

[Lance155]

No way, this can't be true. Wow

 

[Wellington Warrior]

OMG OMG OMG…..absolutely fizzing

 

[1995warriorsfan]

That's what happens when you are winning, the best want to come home.
Incredibly signing, well done NZ Warriors !

 

[Dlenai]

My jaw dropped when I got the notification. This is amazing.

 

[Stalefish540]

BREAKING JAMES FISHER HARRIS IS COMING HOME ON A 4 YEAR DEAL

Just dropped to my knees in Chemist Warehouse.

This club is going in a vertical position.

 

[Rizzah]

Wow, how good!
Well done recruitment team and Webby. Esp keeping it quiet.

 

[davidmckay1974]

The next Warriors Captain after Tohu Harris retires?

 

[snake77]

Well, we release AFB on compassionate grounds to be close to family. Sign JFH after being released early on compassionate grounds.

Firstly I hope the be close to his family is a general wanting to move home to be close to family and not an illness.

We would be a lot more appealing now that the club is going well. Come back to New Zealand and you are likely to be in a good system, in front of big crowds and in a team going well.

 

[Dantheman]

My jaw dropped when I got the notification. This is amazing.

I was speechless haha

 

[juju]

Did Ivan do us a solid too?

 

[Zaggo]

I really cannot believe this. We've signed the Kiwis captain at the peak of his powers coming off a three peat.

How the F have we somehow upgraded our prop rotation despite AFB leaving.

If I'm dreaming do NOT wake me.

 

[Te Arai warrior]

I just spat my pie out and had tears in my eyes.. my missies asked if the pie was too hot… showed her the post and signing announcement and she fist pumped at the bakery we are sitting at … this is awesome news

 

[afakasi247]

Holy fuck that came out of literally no where


HOWS THAT FOR A AFB REPLACEMENT!!!

 

[Completion Rate]

Cappy must be so hard to say no to when he takes his little hat off and clutches it like a hopeful looking dwarf

 

[Jeetz]

Wtffff. Amazing what a good coach and winning some games can do.
