Official THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Signings/Transfers ONLY!!!!

You keep them all if you can.

Tom and Oregon have options so least likely to leave. Jesse won't be expensive. Wouldn't be surprised to see him extended soon.

Just comes down to cost for BHU and WIlliams. If they are happy to take a bit less to stay you keep them. Some good players will miss out round 1, but there are always injuries so you need 10 good middles.

Realistically you'd think two of our current props will have to make way. I'd prioritise keeping Hazelton and Colquhoun for their cheap contracts and succession planning, so probably two out of Uele, Hunt, Williams, Kaufusi.

Money will come into it but if we could get away with losing Hunt and Kaufusi we'd be laughing.

Yep this is what the well run clubs do. Depending on what happens in 2024 we'll be in a very good position to chop a player or two on mid tier contracts.

Corey Harawira-Naera looks set to retire due to the seizures he's been suffering.

Really unfortunate news for him but health first.

Poor bugger, only 28 as well.

I hope he can have a safe and happy life away from the game.

I’d be willing to part with Hunt or Kaufusi to bring AFB over sooner.

I'd be willing to part with both to bring him over

I'd be willing to part with both to bring him over

But if you were Warriors would you be willing to take them to release him early?

Nope

 

[stalefish]

we got the deal done for "25 without a player trade which obviously worked for both parties

you'll be very hard pressed to try replace the dally M prop with an offer of a foreign bench player, when they have the choice of having AFB for another year..

if they want to raid us later on fair game, they'll have the money to do it

but theres no chance AFB is here before 2025

Even if the warriors were open to a swap for 24 I feel the hardest part would be getting someone open to moving to NZ on a shortish notice.
More luck getting Williams with the Flanno connection or BHU to the Dragons with them letting Su’a go to NZ who has indicated he would be happy to go.

 

[stalefish]

how do you do that as a coach??

approach a player and ask him to leave??

fitz doesnt work like that

hes here for 25 to add to the squad.

 

[stalefish]

If a swap was on the cards it would have been done in this agreement

 

[bort]

Here’s how it works

They offer BHU/Williams/Kaufusi good money to go next year

Motivated to make more money, and knowing there is an opportunity, that player and agent raise the concept of moving early.

They let Addin’s agent know too, so he can push for it also.

The Warriors concede because both their incoming and outgoing players (and agents) are pushing for it. It also frees them up some money this season to do <other good use of money>

8 AFB
9 Brailey
10 BHU
11 Nikora
12 Tieg
13 Rambo

14 Cam
15 Toby
16 Williams
17 Kafusi

****. I want Hazleton there bad, but that’s how I see the team looking. Thankfullyish we always have someone injured so he’ll be there at some stage for a while.

Hunt can get gone.

One injury is near certain but two would be too many I guess

Yes!

but I’m a Sharks fan, sooooooooo

Or, we get AFB now for 24 and the Warriors get Su‘a (end story here).

Secure the bag!

I have trust in Jesse if that does happen.
