Leaving Foran behind in Sydney to heal and spend time with his kids, what could possibly go wrong with that..

[mariner4life]

@Virgil does he miss his favourite pokies?

[Sneakdefreak]

He better get back over here. He's been named at stand off to face the GC Titans.

On that puff piece/interview they showed when he was warming up on Sunday he mentioned how the Warriors give him time to come back and see his kids ... so it might not be too big a portent of doom him staying over now. I hope.

Has any player got better at the Warriors than when he arrived?

Marc Ellis, John Kirwan, Wade McKinnon...

Whetu Taewa.

[mariner4life]

Fucking who?

[Nepia]

You bloody Queenslanders! He's an OG Warrior.

[mariner4life]

He played a season, had already played tests, and you reckon he got better?

Or are you just trying to be clever?

[Nepia]

Haha - that was some speedy googling. Yep, he was only picked originally as a squad filler and forced his way into the starting lineup.

[kiwiinmelb]

That thing with him wanting to fly back and forward to spend time with his kids could be difficult to manage long term .

Would not be surprised to see him look for a club in Sydney eventually.

@kiwiinmelb he genuinely was, and i thought the change in the wrestle interpretations would suit him, but alas...

Downtown Lewis Brown.

He was in the reserves at the storm , so he probably would be the winner

[mariner4life]

Paul Kent reckons Matulino is on his way out of the warriors. That would be an astoundingly poor piece of roster management.

And according to reports, my theory that Shane Flanagan is conducting an experiment to see how many grubs you can fit in to one club, the Sharks might look to offer Josh Reynolds a deal when the Bulldogs let him go.

[Nepia]

@mariner4life Wow, that definitely would be poor roster management - get rid of the one talented forward with a bit of a difference to his game.

"Paul Kent reckons Matulino is on his way out of the warriors. That would be an astoundingly poor piece of roster management."

But we may get Aaron Woods in return.....

A lot of Warriors off contract at the end of the season: https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/players/off-contract-2017/

I know things aren't great at the Tigers these days, but after orchestrating getting rid of the coach at the Tigers why would Woods want to jump into the Warriors fire?
