Instead of Staines, we should be going hard for Ray Vaega. Blacktown winger that scored a hattrick against us in the trial for Manly. Young, explosive and athletic. Can play wing or centre.

he looked good in that trial, has quite a few ahead of him at Manly so can’t see him cracking the NRL team anytime soon. Unless they have multiple injuries and Burbo moves into the backrow. …having said that their backrow is stacked as well.

I assume he's either off contract or given permission to leave?

Rough times for Warriors, honestly might be some of the harshest playing conditions of any clubs history.
- No home game for 2 years
- covid completely cuts them off from family and society
- Players leaving mid season
- Coach leaves mid season
- no telling when you’ll be allowed to go home and live there full time
I truly feel sympathy for them all and hope they find success in the future, (Just not when tho they play us at home in July)

He isn't signed to their Top 30. Only signed to Blacktown.

They need a leg up, I think, just to get them competitive again. Possibly, as suggested by Gus a while back, all games in '23 in NZ. Plus maybe a larger cap for '23 & '24, just so they can get themselves a Joey Manu or equivalent.

They should play all games at home next year it’s only fair
Give 'em the boot out and get back to an even number of teams.
It is, after all, the National RL ...not the International RL.
Pasifika players will still flock here (most probably majority born here now).
Why do we need to prop them up when we have struggling teams here?

interesting Twal's comments on instagram on the photo of Douhie doing the weights "welcome to the middle cuz" ... number 13 anyone
Just speculation but if true, that would tell me that the club is happy with Hastings and Brooks as 7 & 6.

I like the sounds of that it’s really our only way to get all our bets players on the field at the same time
Won't be for some time.
However, Carayannis said that the club doesn’t want to risk the health of one of their brightest stars for a season that has already all but finished.
“No, he won’t play,” Carayannis said to 1170 SEN Breakfast.
“This was his due date to come back but some at the club want to take a safety-first approach.
“He’s only 23 and he’s coming back off the back of a second ACL (injury) on the same knee.
“Their (the club’s) plan is to let him rehab for a little bit longer but there were some suggestions that he would miss the whole year.
“Adam is definitely keen to come back before then.
“He’ll be on the sidelines for at least another month before we see him play again.”

They say waiting every week 9 months after ACL reco before return to sports lowers your chance of re-injury. If we can push him back until after the 2nd bye, it would give him enough time I think.
