Tanah Boyd granted an immediate release to take up a contract ‘overseas’. Here we go…..

 

[BigUCE]

And as I posted my last message. Tanah Boyd is set to join us immediately

Titan Boyd signs for two years

Gold Coast TitansTanah Boyd signs with One New Zealand Warriors to end of 2026 NRL season.

solid. We need a 7. We need a goal kicker. Not elite, but it moves us forward. Was getting nervy about injury prone options .

 

[juju]

Not wow is it... 2 years is relatively low risk I guess..

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Hey I wasnt keen at all. But if hes a Warrior I'll back him until he proves himself either way.

 

[BigUCE]

Welcome aboard Tan-Wah

Also if hes a straight swap for CHT im happy with that. I think we've seen CHTs ceiling. Hopefully Tanah is yet to hit his.

 

[Funky Ed Koosie]

Now he's officially signed, my man welcome to the Wahs

 

[Makasene]

Hey I wasnt keen at all. But if hes a Warrior I'll back him until he proves himself either way.

Their own fans are thanking us for taking him.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Boyd is 24. I think Webby has seen that youth is key...

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Their own fans are thanking us for taking him.

If fans knew everything we'd all have own illustrious coaching careers no?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Also remember how Montoya played out.

 

[WA Warrior]

Their own fans are thanking us for taking him.

They have a glutton of halves/fbs it makes sense.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

So if Boyd plays 6, who is playing 7?!?

 

[juju]

Webby has improved players coming to the club

but so has Des to players going to his clubs.

 

[WA Warrior]

So if Boyd plays 6, who is playing 7?!?

I would think he is the game manager 7 with a running half in Metcalf at 6.
But who knows what Webby has planned.

 

[Zaggo]

Not bad about it at all, and would immediately put him above CHT in the pecking order.

For a start, he's hit a field goal before!
