Courier mail spreading rumours the warriors making a play for NAS.
My first gut reaction was WTF?!
My next thought was, who else is leaving? As we have 30.
Hoping this one not trueI thought a few of our 30 have been given permission to check out the market.
I don't mind NAS, he's a NZer and everyone knows my feelings about one of the guys we have playing prop, plus we don't make the grand final so we don't have to worry about him being suspended for it.
Right now he gets penalized even for doing nothing wrong because of who he is, changing the refs view is also hard.
I believe they are still contracted for 2026, but yes as of Nov 1 can look for 2027.
This would mean one goes early unless its someone else. Dont mind if on a massive discount and if Webby can turn him around like Barney, big ask though and for me depends on who he replaces..

Hiring that stupid grubby slow slug might be enough to turn me off.

This Pacific Championship has certainly bought the passion out. This one made me laugh

The ARL Commission allowing those boys to play Origin and for the Islands is the best thing that ever happened to International Rugby League.
-
Having someone like Haas, a first pick Origin and Kangaroos player, play for Samoa whilst still in his prime is going to mean others will follow now and for years to come.

I thought the competition was a huge success

Samoa get to add Hammer next year as well.

We have a few guys coming back to, Hughes was a big loss
Yeah Hughes and JMK will make a big difference, we just have to hope players aren't rubbed out via injury and suspension come RLWC time. The Origin eligibility might have changed by then too, so we'll have some depth at fullback.
-
Hughes and Brown in the halves, yes please. And I was a little harsh on Foran even though he could barely run or take the ball to the line, he marshalled a few good plays for us. Plus he’s an active talker out there which was important particularly for some of our younger boys.
-
@ACT-Crusader I agree on Foran. I had my doubts with him, but he organised & did the basics well, and his kicking game was mostly on point. Just what you want from your veteran half.

When is winning not enough? If our elders, past and present players don’t speak up then you’re part of the problem. I’ll speak from my lens for those that represent multiple heritages. I’m ready for...

Interesting interview i heard with the Eels' head of football this morning. Decision was by mutual agreement. Appears Lomax wouldn't commit, so Ryles and Co did not take the risk, and moved him on early to provide a bit of surety, and time to fix the hole created.
It was an impressive interview actually, seems the Eels are very aligned at the moment, and while R360 is obviously a factor, i think there was more to it, including around where Zac plays every week.
-
The league forum I'm on is melting down over R360, I find it weird that the most traffic about the comp is on a league forum as opposed to rugby forums. Obviously this is just the forums I'm involved in, but I thought there'd be way more discussion of rugby players who might be going.
As it stands it looks to be a comp played in cities with no real rugby history and with a bunch of league players.
-
lol the one that I tend to visit has barely raised an eyebrow.. now if Haas goes I suspect that might change. Most acknowledge the challenge and Parra fans a little upset as early in a contract, but most see it as SBW wave 2 and we will all watch the NRL backtrack on their 10 year pledge if it doesnt work .. so most think not a huge deal.
But youre right a comp with no history with a mix of people from across codes ..but do get paid very well if it flies
