Recruitment Warriors 2026/2027 Recruitment & Retention

I thought it was interesting his Kiwi selection and Niukore missed out considering Stacey Jones is Kiwi coach and Warriors assistant. We don’t have that big imposing middle that the rest of the contenders have, I’d personally take the risk and bring him in provided storm pays about $200k per year of his salary for the remaining contract
Yeah. He can't ask for $800k when he's been out of FG so long + attitude issues. His agent should have taken a lowball offer from the Warriors. That was his best chance. 600-700k max, take it or leave it. I'm wondering whether it was the price or Webby worked out his heart wasn't into working hard which sealed the rejection.
 
I’d rather Laban or EIT over NAS, for 1/4 of the price. Forwards aren’t our problem fellas, it’s our backline we need strike.

Our pack competes with any pack in the comp, it’s our backline that’s not even close. If you look at the backline in the GF, Walsh, mariner, staggs, shibasaki, papi, Coates, warbrick, then extend to the halves in 300 gamers Reynolds, hunt & Munster Hughes. These backline are stacked full of international talent, experience & game breakers.

You compare that to our backline, we have 3 internationals in rts , CHT & Charnze. With RTS the only game breaker, and on the wrong side of 30. We need youth, we need game breakers. NAS just stifles our opportunity to recruit a star backline player, which we desperately need. We simply will never compete rolling out a Capewell, DWZ, CNK, CHT, pedestrian backline, regardless of how strong our pack is. It’s all well & good getting down into the attack zone, but you need to score points. That’s our problem.
 
Walshy and Addo-Carr prove that cocaine need not be a barrier to repping your club or country. So perhaps we need some doped up speedsters. And judging on performance based fan-ism and media adoration. Win and you can do what Walshy, Mammy, Addo Carry, Penrith's boxing day lines guy and Proctor and Brommo do. Winning is all. Or do we have to win in a certain way? Like at all costs.
