You can almost guarantee that Panthers will let us know if there is available talent. We are very close with them it is clear.

4 players in one off season!

Hopefully that means we got a good deal on the freight.

Giving them Moimoi and Crosby for them to take on Lussick

I kind of feel if you are going to have someone like AKP on the wing, which I am keen to see, you have to RTS because of AKP's lack of hardwork and metres from the back end. RTS is up there with TO'O as a metre eating winger.

We’ve got RTS next season at this point and currently no longer so at some point it’s potentially going to be AKP and DWZ? DWZ takes plenty of tough carries too, centres had a lot more running metres towards the end of the year too

One things for sure, we should feel pretty content that our club is on the right path with a powerhouse like panthers obviously thinking we’re doing something right

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

welcome NAS

 

[Warriorsfan92]

welcome NAS

Hope not

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Tbf maybe it was the one a few months ago and I’m just catching up on the goss.

Nonetheless he’s single, so fire up the ponga to wahs rumours again pls

Fuck that, I want to know what his ex is up to?

Oh man! A second time!!! poor dude.

 

[BabylonPink]

Context?

Exactly when did he play NSW cup for the Warriors?


Context?

You might as well have posted Michael Jordan highlights

Context surrounding the events referring to this event.
It was a major mark in his career. A bad one.

 

[BabylonPink]

Bloody hell thought some moves were a foot.

Pages and pages on Morgan Harper? Where does he fit into 2026 / 2027?

@Wrighty you started it! Don't make me get the importance meter out again.

Also some interesting posts suggesting Penrith & Wahs have some sort of collusion going on. I don't buy it.

Some moves have been made that fit the narrative but many more would go against it. If anything, I think Penrith are emulating our approach of signing fringe first graders and backing themselves to improve them..

Also, some of this Freddy chat seems a bit short sighted.. Highly unlikely we are straight cutting him. He will absolutely have something lined up (that would have been suggested to him that if he found something we wouldn't stand in the way).

This aged well

Talakai has destroyed a lot of players.

Badly.

Someone mentioned Croker and Hurrell, I would still rather have a player like Croker over a Hurrell or Talakai for that matter.

Brett Tate was Francis Meli's biatch.

Yeah same.
But MH maybe looked ok to you in some glimpses of NSW cup. But historically ( that night in particular) he's been found wanting. Glad he didnt see FG.

 

[Matiunz]

Surely Lussick is a good trade for Maclean yeah?

 

[Defence]

Anyone got some aunties to lure him over with?

Where’s Kevin Locke when u need him?

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

According to warriorholic we now have 2 top 30 spots available

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Flows keep going from us to Penrith. Is this a sign that we are getting someone from them?

 

[Billyspleen75]

According to warriorholic we now have 2 top 30 spots available

NRL.com, zerotackle and the front page of this thread all say we have 1 now that Freddy is gone.

 

[sup42]

Hope not

NAS?

To be honest I am getting a bit desperate to hear news of any signing.

I hope NAS doesn't reject us now, it is not a good look.

Pretty obvious Stacey took him on that Kiwis tour with a Warriors relationship in mind.

Sounds like we are doing some serious back room deals to try get the guy so I hope we don't fail now we are in the frame.
