lol bench prop or NSW Cup prop
If all fit and firing having Bunty, Hunt and Pole as impact rotation should get us some momentum in games. Starting to actually have a squad with rotation players forming- not use to this from our club…..
Oh and 1yr like what is going on - not the wests tigers normal way to do things

Wouldn't think so. Hopefully Bunty brings Kalani Going with him. Then we can say Going is coming!

I dunno, he is probably our biggest body available now. That can be an advantage. I’d say Bunty or Hunt would be competing for impact prop now.
He's known for some fearless runs.
Kinda lost in the wilderness over recent seasons.
One year deal.
His time to shine or superleague awaits.
I like it.
He has a lot to offer.

1 year deal too so will be determined to compete for an extension or offer from the Perth Bears or a club who loses a middle or 2 to the Bears.

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 17

good signing
after not going for moale i felt as though they were after an experienced head that wouldn’t cost a lot and help guide our young forwards

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.

Here are his NSW Cup stats averaging about 50 mins per game with close to 95% tackle efficiency.

Great experienced squad depth imo especially to come in if Temu May has to miss with injury or Origin.

Half the price probably as well.
I did say I see us building a much more experienced side over the coming seasons.
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.
