This is the thread for dreams, no matter how ludicrousLeft field thought… what if AKP is seen as a fullback
Highly unlikely as defensively and work rate isn’t Webster style but imagine him chiming into the backline
I mean Dugan was a tall, slow, lumbering, physical fullback while Stewart is a shorter, fast, non-physical fullback
You’re biting a player like Stewart for the player you hope he can be, not the player he is now.
Look at Walsh until recently

Iongi is gonna be a superstar. What he did against us in R26 is like an entre before a 10 course degustation. Judging players off NSW cup stats isnt the greatest stat line to choose…especially when one guy is now a lock in first grade and the other is not.
Im about the make the exact type of post i cringe at when others write them haha.
I feel the team needs some star power. I wish we could open the cheque book and through some overs at a marque player. Depth is great but there seems to be a lack of X factor players in the squad who can turn a game.
Of course these players are thin on the ground and rarely want to come to NZ.
Someone like Tapine would be ideal. (let a man dream)
Also, does anyone else feel the tide is changing a bit as far as players wanting to play for the Warriors? The public perception of the team seems to be changing and rather being a place you go to squeeze one last decent pay cheque. Its a place where you can improve as a player and even have a small shot at a title.

Yeah I don’t think many clubs would turn down Iongi. He is class and is already playing at a very high level.
The quality of player since the 2 Andrew’s have come to New Zealand has definitely improved. I don’t think we will buying any stars in the coming years. With Leka’s rookie season the club believe they can develop there own stars from within.
I feel like I’ve heard that a few times over the years.

Will Kennedy is still unsigned for next year.
I also think there could be movement at the dogs when they try and accommodate Galvin and Woods in the halves. Someone from that backline is going. Feel like it will be either Tracey or Burton that get the chop. They also just signed a Sharks gun junior Dykes for FB and have the critta option for FB too via Burton to Centre.
Tracey or Kennedy at FB would be a decent plug for a couple of years.

Sounding a bit like Burton could be on the outer over there. He’s been linked to cowboys
Would take him in a heartbeat!

Bit of talk too that he’s holding out for Perth and is asking $1.1 million a season
No way is he worth that much to play 6. Still think he’s best in the centres
Word of dragons chasing Sami & Penrith outside back David fale. Fake is a young, athletic outside back, centre/wing. Went to mags & has a huge ceiling. Would be very keen to sign him and bring him home

Think Munster is their first choice with Burton second
Can we get Reece Walsh back on compassionate grounds?
