Not sure it happened in this game or not, but the Eli Kotoa continuation to play was pretty bad. I remember Richo saying part of the problem with Toa injuries is that Tonga played him when they shouldn't have and it created a chronic problem.
Great buy from Richo. I had someone tell me a while back they were looking at warriors middle - to be fair I thought they were younger but all good. Still a good age.
We look like we are going to be a very strong KOE team too and that’s important.
Doesn’t matter when you have Paseka, Crocker and Olakuatu out.
Not sure if this is even worth mentioning as I don’t have a lot of info, but I have intel that tigers are on the verge of signing a young warriors prop. Not sure who.
Relax everyone, we won! Don’t forget, we’re only one loss away from half of this place wanting Benji out, thinking we need a complete squad refresh and warning against an impending apocalypse!
Selfishly I want to see him play, but I think you're right - it's probably best to let him have a full time preseason and come in at some stage next year.
I think the he could have gotten the same point across without that. Maybe that’s just the way he talks to his teammates, but still a bit rough. Not just the c word, it was you f’ing c word.
Little lachie wouldn’t have lasted there!
Just wanted to add...no more than 800k for 2 years though. We need to keep Bula and we need funds for some of the younger players coming through flegg.
Douehi is mentally tough and that is something we desperately need with our young squad. We need to keep him.
Also, you can’t evaluate him off the back of previous years as he was always with players that weren’t up to it.
I always really rated him as a young rugby fly half.
The momentum swinger was that stupid escort from Luai. Absolutely no need for it. He does that a lot. On a truckload of money and meant to be more disciplined than that as a leader.
Bula has immense potential and hasn't gotten near it. Still a solid player, but not worth 900k in my opinion. If we keep going on upward trajectory and he keeps improving, then possibly.
