New Zealand Warriors

I'm struggling to see how they'll avoid the spoon next season, they let go off Fien, Witt and Foran? this season, now Jones is retiring as was pretty forseeable, leaving there halves stocks dangerously low, especially with Joel Moon more or less failing in 6 this year. Which leaves them with no established half and a bunch of guys who've played 5 8 with limited success in Hohia, Moon and Ropati.

Three of their best weapons in my opinion are McKinnon, Hohia and Locke whos looks good early, however they are probably all suited to fullback more than any other position, Tate coming back into the side will be an added bonus but without any halves I don't see them getting much quality ball.

Added to that their backrow seems to lack any spark as it's jam packed full of work horses and their coach hasn't seemed to have formulated a proper attacking structure for about twelve months and I'm just not see any answers.

Have they made any signings for next season? Or is there a bright halves prospect coming through that they decided to hang onto instead of shipping to Newtown? I read rumours of Dureau going there.

 

Hahaha, cold.


If I were the Warriors I'd boot Cleary, get a good coach in and try and get a hold of Dureau and try and make a play for Barba.

If I know the way the Warriors work I can imagine them trying to snare someone like Barba anyway and just thinking 'Sweet, little black fast guy, stick him at half and its all good.'

 

Ahhh of course, I actually rate Seymour, I think he could shine along side a good genuine halfback, whats the story with this Maloney character?

 

I know, it seems like a classic Warriors maneuver.
