    Just hope this doesn’t mean we just put Kosi in that spot, for what ever reason we have had a recent history of rocks and diamonds type of players.

    Surely Tuapiki (have I got his name right?) can play wing?

    He looks to have the goods.

    The biggest trade news of the week was Clint Gutherson being given permission to speak to other players. Officially it's for the 2026 season, but that is just code for "if someone wants you next year you have our blessing".

    Now i find him infuriating as a player, constantly whinging at refs., and carrying on like a dickhead. And his body is absolutely cooked, certainly too far gone to be a fullback in the modern game. And he's on massive money. But, he's the heart and soul of that Parramatta side, he fucking loves the joint, and the fans love him. It's one of those horrible decisions that clubs that are serious have to make.

    I can't see him playing at the Eels next year. Someone will pick him up on the "experience is invaluable" excuse. I guess Parra will have to eat some of his salary though

    he's pretty small. Especially for this modern "wingers need to be metre eaters" NRL.

    900k and won't be playing fullback next year, they want to keep him, but not at that money. pretty good pick up for someone though as a utility at reduced price, even busted. Parra surely have to contribute money somewhere

    Mulitalo to test the market, most likely a Sydney club as beneficiary (Souths probably), but Warriors could do a lot worse if they want a strike wing especially since offloading Montoya

    Aussie very clunky in attack but too good for Tonga.

    Tonga in the game the whole way but no real direction in attack and too many kicking errors.

    Aus defended well but they look they are a bit small through the middle.

    Olakauatu is a fucking beast. Tonga need to get him one on one 5m out like manly are so good at.

    Get him and AFB doing it alternatively and they'll run up the tries.

    Penrith got their GOAT, and we got an assembly line of Bluey, Nathan Brown, Payten, Elliot et al. This is why we fail

    Bluey was like leagues version of Razor at the time due to what he had done with the kiwis and at Leeds, and they always seemed desperate for him to take over the Warriors despite Cleary doing a good job especially after the mess Mick Watson had left on and off the field.

    Fair to say Bluey was well out of his depth at NRL level and ruined Cleary's good work.

    When I first saw him play, I told my mate that he'd be the starting QLD 7 one day.

    Maybe the Warriors can work their magic on him like we did turning Barnett into an Origin player. 😉

    We're as likely to do a Townsend on him where he's mud for us and then goes on to win premierships with other clubs.

    Ha, my mate then went on to say the exact thing in regards to Barnett. Hope he goes well and is more James Maloney instead of Jeff Robson.
