Kodi Nikorima to join the Warriors this season - should be available for next weekend against the Dragons in the "Magic Round" in Brisbane.

Brisbane's surge now done. Comfortable win for the Bunnies and they are looking pretty good.
I'm still struggling to understand how people rated this Bronco roster so highly in the preseason.
They thought the forward pack was actually good. Same goes with the Cowboys.
it's got young talent, but lacks experience and leadership
-
Also, Wayne Bennett is such a bitter old flog. He created that dogshit roster at the Broncos, got sacked, but landed on his feet with a fucking good team. Taking any pot shots at Seibold would be rich as fuck.
I just can't understand why Seibold would leave the Bunnies and that roster, to go to Brisbane?

Opposite take: Bennett's style of play means he can work with a lesser roster while Seibold's style means he needs a talented roster to begin with.
Seibold should have stayed at Souths though. No take needed there.

His last game at the club was not so great.
But yes, his low mistake style is greatly helped by guys who can then create points from not much. And to be fair, Reynolds is very much back in form under Bennett. That Souths spine is really fucking good. Throw in an experienced and tough pack, and a super-experienced coach, they should go pretty deep this year.

Nikorima signing confirmed. Figured shown was $1.5M over the next 2.5 years. Will be available next week for the St George game in Brisbane.
As an aside, anyone else going next weekend? I'm planning on going to the Warriors v Dragons, Storm v Eels, Roosters v Raiders, and Bunnies v Cowboys.
-
@mariner4life got a membership this year to yoink tickets to the Wellington game. Hopefully SJ is healthy for that match but who knows. Quite likely he'll tear us a new one if he is playing, such is the luck of the Warriors.
Storm v Eels and Rooster v Raiders would be good games. Fingers crossed for us v the Dragons!
-
Right, are there any other players available at the moment that we can massively overpay? Any players looking to retire at the end of this season that can be persuaded to play another 2 or so seasons at a mediocre level on higher than market value wages?

@raznomore I reckon we drop RTS for Darius Boyd! Sure fire plan lads!

clearing cap space so we can sign Paul Gallen

@mariner4life can only improve on that if we snag Farah!!

TBH, if you look at what Milford gets and compare that with Nikorima, arguably he was underpaid at the Broncos and his salary with the Warriors is closer to what he's worth.
I suppose the Warriors could have kept that money and kept playing outside backs and second rowers in the halves.

Haha, imagine supporting Gallen, it took me almost his entire time playing for the Warriors for me to support Tate and he's not even hate-able on the Gallen scale.

Fuck the warriors are fucking shit. Easily outplayed by a limited Newcastle side

Yep, and came out way worse after the inspiring halftime talk.
