I think he had a spot in the warriors 17 last year and before but this season he was replaced by the two breakout power Tongans.

Indeed.

Good for depth and will have impact in the 17 when necessary or our cup team.

Wonder if Nathan Brown is still a chance also?

Along with the NRL W signings, seems like we're trying to address some issues.

Much prefer Bunty over Tui as well. 1 year is a no-brainer with what we need & what's available. Hopefully Nov 1 we get a big name middle for 2027.

had to think who you meant for a minute.
I think Tui has a bit more standing but as a result would probably cost more. Bunty more impact which we completely lacked this year.

Hopefully the one year deal is a lesson learned from giving Hunt 3 years. When these guys on the scrap heap, the club is the one who’s in a position of strength. No need to over extend themselves.

Low risk signing by the sounds of it for us and career defining for Bunty, I like it

Good signing. Great depth and passable off the bench for 30 mins or so.

Hopefully we can move Hunt on to free up some cap and get the Bird for Brown swap over the line.

Is Royce Hunt staying?

Honestly thought he was finishing up because he had all his family at the Titans game. He played his heart out too so it felt like a farewell of some sort.

Woo Hoo a prop!!!!
He will run on most weeks for us i reckon.
Back this up with a surprise Lindsay Smith signing and I reckon we’re a chance of three wins in a row at some stage next season.
Seriously, a prop, and before Nov 1. This will be like a Friday night win, I’ll grinning all weekend. 😎

Bunty Afoa stuck in reserve grade for the Warriors. Should Benji use his NZ connections?

Brown is better for our squad than bird. We lose nothing from the swap

First thing I did hearing this was Google Bunty’s minutes this year. A bit Royce Hunt like. No way can you carry both of them in the 17View attachment 28446
