AFB is better imo.

AFB is better imo.

Very different players for me. AFB is the explosive/high metres game breaker. JFH is the tough, hard nosed work horse/amazing leader. I'd have them as 2nd and 3rd best props in the comp behind Haas, so splitting hairs really. You couldn't ask for a better replacement if you were the Wahs, particularly as they almost got BHU instead.

Absolutely. JFH is a ****ing beast. They’ve lost nothing now. The Wahs window is wide open

So long as SJ can keep up this form they can compete.

Strange signing.

James Schiller just signs a 3 year deal with the knights.

Not sure he's that much of an upgrade above the likes of Jenkins is he?

Seems an odd one, although he looks quite good. Doesn't bode well for Ricky keeping him in the side for my supercoach benefit this year.

Right now most of the Knights fans I know hate Jenkins although they are quick to turn fans haha
Tuala not signed for next year so they do have an open spot for Jenkins/Schiller to compete for (they also have good fullback coming through who could perhaps play wing).
Schiller also a centre and Gagai off this year too.

Good question. I think he was always staying behind Hopoate but possibility if jumping Savage before maybe. Likely not now.

Penrith have turned their attention now towards Utoikamanu from the tigers to replace JFH.

I'd have Tino ahead of JFH

TMM is average imo, I don't see it.

Fair shout, I guess I was considering him a lock.

Interesting tid bit to come out in all the JFH to Warriors news...

Carayannis also revealed the Panthers could have secured the services of Addin Fonua-Blake after Warriors officials approached the club regarding a swap deal.

But isn't JFH for next year?
Guess that would mean they both swap clubs now?
Dont know if AFB going to Panthers before coming to us would be good or bad for us.

On one hand it would be good experience for him, on the other if he wins a prem with panthers this year, he might not have as big of a desire to win one with us.
Best case would be he goes to the Panthers, they make the granny and lose it (against us would be classic) and it motivates him to get back there and win it with us.

He has a clause in his contract that if he doesn't play origin this season he can leave the tigers

I’m guessing this was before AFB signed with us.
Wah wahs probably looking for a swap deal to accommodate AFB’s desire to get back to OZ so they could get someone in return.

AFB’s preference may have been not to go that far out In regards to living (where does his family live)?
