@mariner4life said in NRL 2024:
I'm a little uneasy around this signing.
Tohu and Capewell in the same back row is a little slow of foot, and held together by tape and wishes
I think that's valid
Tohu will be playing in a wheelchair by the time he is finished. I get the logic though, minutes will have to drop but team talisman in many ways.
Capewell for all his strengths misses a lot of tackles, but probably plays the way Webster wants (knows him from Penrith). Capewell for me seems to be a Curran replacement in style, but with more leadership and maybe take the Tohu role of leader when not on the field.
The big question is who comes in to replace AFB when he leaves, that is not easy to replace
We have at least one year with AFB

@Kiwiwomble This should be a big story at this time of the year for the Tigers, but then they sack their board at the same time!

First good decision they've made in years.

"Not guilty" Paul Kent probably looking for a new role .. nah thats not funny, Tigs fans been through more than enough

Luai moves to the Tigers on a reputed five year $6million deal. So the Tigers are paying overs as shit teams have to do.

He'll have all that money to console him over how shit they are gonna be. And it will weaken Penrith which gives everyone else a chance
-
They arguably won the GF because Luia went off. He's a luxury player there who shines because he has no pressure on him.
The Tigers are overpaying for the wrong player.

NRL: How Kurt Capewell signing answers one of NZ Warriors' biggest questions for 2024 | Newshub
The experienced second-rower has signed a three-year deal to join the Auckland club.
I seem to recall this being discussed briefly before. Webby seems very high on Capewell, believes he'll bring max effort and training ground intangibles

AFB to be a Sharkie from 2025... dont know if we get any player deal though

So we get two years from him. Hope he keeps up his level from last year

Warriors chief executive Cameron George said they'd negotiated extensively with the Sharks to reach an agreement, which will not include a previously mooted player swap.

The front-rower's future has been the subject of speculation, since it was revealed he wanted out of Auckland.

Up to him to give us 100% for the next two years now

@Bovidae So we will be middle shopping I guess since Webster not overly keen in moving Marata.

RIP Carl Webb, a true cult hero of the game in the 2000s with some very memorable moments both at club land and at origin level.
-
Shit, I didn't know he had motor neurone disease.
Former State of Origin player Carl Webb dies aged 42
The former Queensland and Australian representative, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2020, died on Thursday night.
He was half kiwi IIRC.
-
I remember seeing Webb and a couple of other Maroon boys walking around Melbourne prior to game 3 of the 2006 SoO series. I was standing next to them at a crossing and I couldn’t believe how small Webb was. And also Thaiday. Both played well above their size.
Webb was a decent boxer too from what I recall.

Wests Tigers land Luai on five-year deal
Wests Tigers is delighted to announce the signing of star five-eighth Jarome Luai on a five-year deal.

@mikey07 Think Tigers needed a half more than a five eight, but lets see
