    Cartwright -> Parra

    The Offa deal to Tigers is shit handling by Brisbane. Offa is a good bench prop worth that 400-500k mark, which Brisbane currently pay him. They are happy to get rid of him and actually chip in for his salary at Wests, and they also think Flegler is worth 650? Whoever looks after the squad at Brisbane needs to go, it will be a shame to see Lockyer get sacked, so I'm hoping he quits to focus on media or whatever excuse they wanna come up with.

    I saw a journo's predicted Brisbane line up for Game one next year and things look Grim. I will see if I can dig it.

    If it was FoxSports, it won't even be close. The lineups they came out with for most teams left out players purely to generate comments on social media. Pretty sure their Cows side dropped Drinkwater and had McGuire on an edge.

    OK - that explains it Boobiddy. They left out Milford and had that idiot Brodie Croft starting and if that wasn't enough they had the worst player in the NRL, Isaako, in the starting 13 at wing. And had some N00b loser at Fullback.

    Haha all Warriors fans shouldbe saying nepotism. You sign up your son and your son in-law - from other clubs - and it's going to raise eyebrows.

    From the wooden spooners.

    While bizarre, surely Brownie has a say?

    However, it could be an existing admin getting his final say-so before being replaced.
     
  13. Magic AJ Parker

    Brownie?
     
  14. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    What's the latest with this Suuali business?
     
  15. morgieb MC Burridge

    Roosters have him now, they've paid a release fee to get Souths to release him.

    Warriors rubbish reports of signing Broncos' prop Matt Lodge for next season

    source: https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/leagu...gning-broncos-prop-matt-lodge-for-next-season

    The Warriors have dismissed reports they are close to signing Matt Lodge from the Broncos.

    Over the past few days there have been a number of media outlets saying that the club are interested in the 25-year-old prop on a three-year, multi-million dollar deal.

    However, Warriors’ recruitment and development manager Peter O’Sullivan told Stuff on Sunday that the reports couldn’t be further from the truth.

    “Where all the speculation has come from, I have no idea,” O’Sullivan said.

    “Neither myself or anyone from the club has spoken with Matt or his manager about any offer to come to the Warriors.

    It’s just pure speculation and I have no idea where it started from.”

    The Warriors have plenty of players for the middle next season, with Addin Fonua-Blake, Kane Evans and Ben Murdoch-Masila all joining the club for 2021 and beyond.

    “We’re right for our middles, obviously when we signed Addin, that closed us off in that department,” O’Sullivan said.

    “It’s not anything we’ve talked about and right now, our spots are full.

    “So it’s complete rubbish and I have no idea who’s fuelling it, to where it’s coming from, but certainly nothing is coming from my end, or Matthew’s end.”

    The Warriors have all 30 places on their roster filled for next season, so the only way the club could bring someone in would be if they were able to move on one of their current players.

    Meanwhile, Warriors coach Nathan Brown has also recently shut down reports that they are talking to the Melbourne Storm’s Jahrome Hughes about a move to the club for 2022, when the playmaker comes off his current contract.

    “I can honestly say we haven’t spoken to Jahrome Hughes,” Brown told Triple M’s Rush Hour with MG.

    “What a terrific player, he’s been outstanding but we feel very confident in young Chanel Harris-Tavita, he played under ‘Mooksy’ (Stephen Kearney) and got around 30 games and Kodi Nikorima had his best year last year too.”

    The Warriors have Harris-Tavita locked in until the end of the 2022 season.

    Nikorima has an option in his favour for 2022 and until he indicates that he won’t take that option up, the club won’t go seriously looking for another experienced half.

    Nathan Brown. The New coach.

    Do you really think he's worth the supposed 500K Broncs were paying him? I dunno. He's a "workhorse", his attack is nothing special and his defence is abysmal. He's like a Chinese bootleg version of Haas. He's probably worth about 300 right now, but the Broncos blew their load (while also re-signing Lodge and TPJ, just terrible balance), probably because he was picked for QLD.
     
  19. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    I think he is a high quality bench prop, and should never start, coming off the bench suits his game even if he is a better player than the starting prop. 500K is his absolute ceiling price tag, and while I'd prefer him on less it's not exactly bad. He had an absolute shocking year, but not many at Brisbane didn't.

    They must plan on latrelling him into a centre for 2022 when j.morris is gone.
