After working so hard to keep him, the GC are going to pay Dave Fifita to play against them. Looks like he is off to Souths.
He better hope Wayne can refocus him, or he's going down was one of the biggest wastes of talent ever.

Probably the most accurate description.

Kiwis still going with CNK at fullback. I would've given Kini a run at FB before the final(assuming Kiwis make the final).
NAS dropped for Willison is a good move.
Taumalolo is back. He and AFB were massive against the Kiwis last year.
Ugh. Dude gives his all, but he's past the point where he is all is enough. Hope he can turn back the clock this weekend.

Interesting bench TMM, Whtye, Clark Willison.
Personally think it is a big out of JMK and Crossland and TMM will probably rotate hooker role.
Would have loved to have seen Kini at the back though

Yeah, TMM to play the Warriors role he played when Webby ran out of other players to use. But JMK is a big loss. I think all Kiwis fans wanted to see Kini there, just not the one who counts in Stacey.

Rumoured to be going to the 360 league or whatever it’s called , brave little player but his body is a bit cooked, had some horrific injuries, might be cashing in .

Wahs on the open market as of Nov 1
R Berry
T Boyd
K Capewell
L Hanson
CHT
Eddie Ieremia - Toeava
Sio Kali
F Lussick
TMM
Marata Nuikore
Taine Tuapiki
RTSInteresting list, some would be happy to see go others would like to stay for sure. We would be so lucky that someone else would want Rocco would be my first ask, RTS can play R360
Kind of hoping Capewell, Nuikore, Tuapiki, Kali, Eddie Ieremia - Toeava all stay. One of Boyd or Hanson has to stay, I dont see Jet ready for first grade yet and if Metcalf breaks again need back up. CHT played well with Metcalf and as a combo and although I wanted him out in his previous stint, happy with his effort last year.
I like TMM but coaches dont so see him gone.
Freddy well down pecking order now so should be free to go -

I want RTS playing fullback, he's looked so much better there than CNK in the PC.
Would be weird to see Berry go, he's a Webby favourite.
I thought TMM signed on for another year just recently?
I'm good to see Capewell go, we have young backrowers up the wahoo. Niukore I'm on the fence, he was cabbage this year, but has been good in the past.
Does Boyd want to sit behind Metcalf next year? Is Hanson any good? I only saw a few games of NSW Cup so didn't get a decent enough gauge of how good he is. Anyway, we have the greatest schoolboy rugby player to ever walk the plant in Inch so we'll be right.

Berry go, Boyd keep as depth. Capewell if he's cheap. CHT can go. TMM hasn't done enough to prove he's worth a first grade spot any more.
The whole backline needs fresh blood. -

As a Crusader bound to walk on water.
Thought Capewell was ok this year and need some balance to ensure young ones do basics right. I would not be surprised though if he signs a 2027 contract with a new club, final hurrah in Perth perhaps? Young ones with one more year under their belt I could handle.
Marata could move into the middle more, still solid.All gossip has RTS gone already, Im up for a new fullback no disagreement there
Luke Hanson Im not confident on him at first grade level, just saying he is more developed than Jet at this stage and probably better back up.
Could not blame Boyd if he left, was good cover and Webby raves about his communication and team spirit, but should be playing first grade somewhere
