Hanson is quick, not sure now many games you watched.

It's the quality of the footage that disorients me. I only see the extended highlights from warriorholic. Everyone looks 17 yrs old and slow

Toby Crosby to panthers confirmed by the looks of it

I would be gutted for us if this meant that Roger missed out on the whole of 2026 (hoping with an October start date it means that he could play the whole NRL round robin at least), but hard to argue with that.

Getting paid a mill for 6 months a year, getting to see a fair bit of the world too. Would be pretty enticing I think

We definitely need one more year out of him for sure. But you could see why he would jump at it especially if its huge guaranteed money over multi year.

It's going to be a bizarre competition though...

Ivan sees value in Toby and Tom Ale.
Webster did not or a rearrangement to accommodate other players.

I just think it is cool that we seem to be working together a bit. What a great club to have a relationship with.

 

[kos]

Interesting way to look at it.
Amazing really considering the hugeness of Penriths junior catchment
Swap Toby and Tom for Jett and JFH? late part of the deal?

Also noticed Cleary’s compliments towards the club after they beat us of a bright future, didn’t hear him mention the same when they got over the bulldogs

 

[JaggedJ]

Crosby and Ale aren't in the long term plans as we build towards what we hope is a premiership challenging roster.

Panthers are already in that windows so a cheap established experienced forward like Ale makes sense.

Crosby would be enticing for a lot of clubs on potential, but he's clearly down our pecking order. Best of luck to him.

Crosby could be Liam Martin 3.0. More powerful, much faster and a smart kid. Obviously gasses out because he's full of fast twitch fibres so development is essential. It is probably the best place for him, I could see him there, or the Storm or potentially Canberra.

 

[Kaos A.D.]

So he was doing society a favor.

theyre gonna turn him into a superstar aint they.... the great white hope i was hoping for, im brown by the way

 

[Teets]

Probably more of a Leniu type, maxes out as 30-35 min bench prop if he's going to stay the same body shape going forward imo.

He’s probably changed to league at a good age to give it a go. When you look at the likes of Leo and Tyrone Thompson, Leo probably switched at the right time but Tyrone potentially too late

I will be very surprised if they play him as a prop. I think that was our mistake. I guess we will soon see.

 

[CWC]

Didn't know how to feel watching 3 Wahs ex-affiliates walking up in consecutive order to receive the dally m awards last night - Haas, AFB, Katoa

 

[Cces]

we sold Haas the dream for a week, probably gave him a tracksuit to take home & now pretend like he was a junior

Haas doesn't count, and AFB goes where the brownie market is booming.

Katoa is the only avoidable loss but even then you have to ask if we get anywhere near Storm Katoa.

 

[Kaos A.D.]

i hope he does good, obviously a lot of work needed, if uncle Ivan sees something in him he might get a good NRL player, and we might get another up and coming Kiwi.... unless hes part Tongan
