If I had to ask a prop to play 80 it'd be Carrigan if you can count him, otherwise Haas or Tino. But not ideal use of any of them.

One glance at that face rules him out I'm afraid

Yeah I've always liked BHU but he's just been awfully unlucky with timing of injuries. Wouldn't surprise me if he is the one that ends up making room

Hopefully he does stick around because think he'd really hit his straps coming on for Toby next to AfB

You wont find a bigger Big Ham supporter then me and i’ll be extremely disappointed if and probably when he leaves in 2025, but he just isnt on the same level of AFB, Big Ham on his day has the potential to be one of the more devastating props in the league, but he just hasn’t been able to stay consistent or off the injured list.

Even with BHU gone, the rotation is going to be hard to beat:

AFB, Rudolf, Hazelton and one of Hunt, Kaufusi or Colqhoun. Plus you’ve got Williams providing some more go forward hopefully rotating with McInnes at lock or spending time up front.

I’ll be very upset to see BHU go but we’ll be ok without him.

All of a sudden you have guys like Toby and BHU being second/third best props which exactly what they should be.

This is going to have a massive domino effect on the entire team I reckon.
Yep and then you have the other forwards start counting spots on that bench. Next thing you know we have them blokes start training and playing harder to jag their spot.

Definitely can be a domino effect towards our whole team getting better

Hunt, Hazelton, Colquhoun - fringe top 17 players
Hamlin-Uele, Kaufusi, Williams - off contract

Only Rudolf can afford to get lazy now

The Warriors CEO said, the deal has a player swap component, so somebody from our roster is going there.

We had a real coup here, cigars and champagne all round.

I was gunna call you out for an interesting interpretation but actually that article does say that.
The article it links to as evidence however, says the opposite.

"The arrangement excludes a player swap but we will continue to consider our options," George said.

- We will give you Hiroti

Great signing , must've used a stealth bomber to get this one over the line so quietly .

As for who goes in '25 , well they all have a season to prove themselves , to say " I am integral to this team , and you can't afford to lose me " .

This signing has just made next season much more interesting .
