Geez I can't wait for the day that we can finally stop having to buy players from the 'old blokes' home!

Who have we bought from the old blokes home in the last 10 years?

Off the top of my head Richards & Halatau (2nd time around), Cayless, Tuqiri, Bell, Utai, Anasta, Ballin - all around 30 plus when we signed them and I think that's near past the prime in Rugby League (Cliffy Lyons & Beaver Menzies the odd exceptions). Pretty sure we've chased a few others over the years also, but missed out on signing them - Luke Lewis comes to mind, plus there have recently been rumours of bringing Heighington back also.

I doubt we could afford him with all the money we are throwing at Taumalolo.

Typical..I get Taumalolo IN…you take all the glory..

James or Jason ?? :smiley:

Did this guy get picked up by any clubs , seems to be nothing on him

 

[tigger2010]

I read knights were keen but not sure if he signed or not.

I didn't know you were allowed to play NRL with a zimmer frame. I fully expect WT to fork out $300k for him.

Ryan Hoffman wont be resigned by the Warriors . At 34 he'll fit right in with Hino in the backrow in 2018 .

A.Toupou has signed for 1 year with the Knights

A.Toupou has signed for 1 year with the Knights

I think he'll go alright for them. Their back row options are pretty good for this year, it's just the prop and hooker department that need work:

8\. Sam Mataora
9\. Rory Kostjasyn
10\. Daniel Saifiti
11\. Jamie Buhrer
12\. Sione Mata'utia
13\. Mitch Barnett

14\. Danny Levi
15\. Jacob Saifiti
16\. Josh Starling
17\. Anthony Tupou

Just heard on 2ky he signed with the Knights for this year, they are saying he will be a good signing.

Our chances will increase dramatically if we have 6 byes and don't have to play the Roosters or Raiders

Coulda been a decent pick up for reggies…
No loss, rly.
