Unfortunately the cupboard is pretty empty.
You are probably right but no harm in trying

Yeah if he landed at the Titans and they paired him with Foran, that crates a massive logjam of Brimson, Campbell, and Kini at fullback. Would Kini like to be the face of the Warriors for the next 10 years?

 

[Wah's Up]

Didn’t he go off injured?? such an Ed thing to do

Yeah, that tackle on Crichton they clashed knees and Kosi was off for around 6 weeks from memory.
Never got back to the same form after that.
I was very critical of him this year but still think he is worth the gamble if he regained his form.

 

[3rdstriker]

Yea this should be more talked about. It fits him and us quite well.

Plays well at hooker for queensland.

To be fair, Kini had quickly overtaken Brimson and Cambell as the titans preferred number 1. I don’t see him going anywhere

Ronaldo Mulitalo testing his value in November. I think we should make a BIG play.

Give him DWZ's money

Yeah true, not saying it’s at all likely, but Kini is the one that could score himself the significant upgrade by agitating for a release

Agreed. We have to in on this

 

[Zaggo]

Ronaldo would be the answer to a lot of our problems. Genuine pace, and can make a try out of absolutely nothing.

Cmon CNK - you got in Fishs ear, do the same with Ronaldo.

With Nikora coming off contract at the same time you would think something has to give with Hynes and AFB on big money too plus Hazleton needing an upgrade.

Also Trindell looking for a big upgrade.
I can't see how they are adding AFB to the 2025 roster and only really losing Royce Hunt.

Graham & Moylan were on good coin in 2022, and then also finucane retired

My off contract wishlist
Ben Hunt (dreamin')
Nikora
Mulitalo
Savage
Trindall
Hazelton
Willison
Leo Thompson
Kai Pearce-Paul
Jonah Pezet

Any 2 of those I'd be pretty stoked with fo be honest
