Now AKP signed as well. A great Saturday morning.
Good get this guy for our pathways. Crusaders, mako & nz schools first five.
After all the "We owe the Warriors" Covid wankfest, Tigers actually did something and brought one of their home games here in '23. Soft spot for them since.
We'll try a limerick then
There was a big lad from the Hutt
Who at the Storm was stuck in a rut
Cam George said no
Until the price was low
Then we all said Lesssgo!
Wouldn't be great if Bunty's career kicks off at the Tigers.
You never know, a different environment, a second chance. Could do the trick.

Bunty has signed with the tigers for 2026.
Nas on a long term big money deal no thanks.
Nas on a short term cut price deal fark yes.
I get we need more strike in the backs but there’s no one available for next year- our best shot is akp so if we have the cap space we’d be mad not to.
Our pack is good but still a point of difference behind the top 4 packs.
Imagine the roar of the crowd the first time the big unit runs out onto mt smart!
From Nas’s pov he gets to come home for a year and it would create a lot of goodwill for him because despite all he’s achieved he’s never been that popular with the kiwi public.
Then he heads off to 360 to chase fortune and adventure and we use his cap space elsewhere in 2027.
Sounds good to me…

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.

I'd swap out Nuikore for Laban
Brent Read on NRL 360 last night said the Warriors reportedly knocked back a request for NAS.
Just seen hundreds of farewell thankyous from fans to Bunty on Facebook
And a couple of interviews
Says he s not an emotional guy
And the club is in good hands
What a gentleman in the true sense

Heart and soul of the club this guy and will be missed. He’s instilled that passion for the club in the next crop and Erin Clark mentioned on SJ’s show about how much he brings the players together off the field too. Good luck Bunty for your next endeavours brother
Worst-kept secret, now official
2 Tannah Boyd masterclasses in the last two weeks were key. On the back of a great team effort, his added class in guiding the team about and his kicking in general play were huge. He seemed to have more confidence digging into the line than in some of his latter FG runs.
Loved following this team ( and the unofficial commentary from @Leon Black ) and the other lower grade sides. So good seeing so many members here genuinely interested in the pathways and with a great understanding of the talent coming through too!

I know he's had a few tough moments at NRL level but overall the recruitment of Boyd has worked out.
Having an experienced half guiding these guys around the field would have helped with their development.
We have a few guys from this side moving on. Good way to cap off their time with the club. A few spots opening up for a few others to prep for first grade.
Johnson on the Matty Johns show the other night said the Cup side give the NRL side a good go in opposed sessions. Iron sharpens iron. Lets hope things are getting sharper.
