They’ll be going with Hope for this year & with a year of cup Haywood will be ready as back up in 2027.
Centres we have May, To’a, Makasini & Herbert as depth. That’s enough I’d say?

Toa and Herbert are not up to it.

Makasini needs to be on the wing on the left edge. Not in the centres.

He is thriving because he just needs to catch and run straight. Nice and easy.

I gotta admit .. I’m not a fan of Hope … they are in a spot of bother if Api goes down ..,

Big expectations for Mak … I think he might start on the wing .., but I guess I prefer him over Herbert in the centres .., it’s still an area of concern given problems with Toa that persist

Normally I would agree...

Except we need to expect a brain explosion from May.
Great player, no doubt.

It's just May is the kind of NRL player that is found making sweet love to the flashing light on a white car with blue squares painted around it.
We need a reserve ready when this happens. I keep hearing To'a is injured but I hope he is that reserve.

rumour going around this year
Barnett to Parramatta and then Parramatta releasing Lomax to Melbourne.
Nelson Solimona looking to go to New Zealand

Big Nelson doesn’t need anyone’s permission does he ? Think he is a free man

Thought he was boxing though 🤔

Where are you guys all hanging out hearing these rumours ?

Masi on the wing is fine for now while a rookie but he’s a genuine left centre, they are rare as anything not sure we’d want to go away from that

Once fit to play, I’d like to see how Skelton goes at right centre in State Cup. Geez he can hit in defence. Then he would be competing with Herbert for the right centre position behind Toa. I’d keep Masi on the left wing (& left centre if May was injured)

he has been training the house down all summer and dropped 15 kegs

He didnt look much different to how he played last year in the all stars. Im happy for him to prove himself of course, however that should be from reserve grade as Bunty, Twal and Pole were very good in the trial. May is an obvious walk up start. So that leaves Hunt out IMO and he needs to force his way in the hard way.

Well I reckon there’s a fair chance the Warriors would be open to a straight swap Mitch Barnett for Fonua Pole this season if we were interested.
As much as I could see someone like Mitch Barnett adding some real toughness and steel to our forward pack, I would not let Fonua go as I see massive upside in him and think he will be one of the best middles in the NRL within a couple of years.

An old bashed up player on the decline coming off major injury and has not played since at the very back end of his career swapping

For a young up an coming player who has his best years Infront of him and will be a weapon


On your suggestion it sounds like you have worked in the West Tigers recruitment before
