<p>That's pretty fucking risky. It won't be cheap (although not a top price contract), his head is questionable, and we'll likely lose a young player, probably Lolohea? Johnson, RTS, and Luke will be on big dollars, a couple of the forwards as well, the cap auditors will be sniffing around if we go down this path.</p> -

<p>Haven't the Warriors repeatedly stated that Lolohea is on a multi year contract and he's not going anywhere?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I say go for it, I'd like to see what the Warriors can do with a genuine organising half (who's actually talented) for once.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think he'll be pretty cheap if the aim is to get out of Sydney etc.</p> -
Pretty odd to confirm they are in negotiations without a deal done, no?<br><br>
I can't imagine he would come ultra cheap and wouldn't be surprised if a team like Melbourne or Brisbane where he knows people in the set up took a sniff too?<br><br>
Hope they get him desperate to see Johnson paired with a talent since his debut season when Maloney was motivated. -
<p>given all his off-field issues, surely he should come cheaper now as his future isn't that certain is it.</p>

<p>Season looks over for Warriors. Down 22-6 to Cowboys. Looks like Penrith and Gold Coast will take the final two spots.</p>

<p>34-6. Warriors were woeful. Jason Taumalolo was Jason Taumalolo. </p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might be time to begin enjoying the NFL season....</p>
<p> </p>
<p> -
<p>Bunji looks finished in the NRL. Dragons have dropped him for the final two games of the season so they can trial their prospects and no other clubs appear that keen on signing him for 2017.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meanwhile Elijah Taylor is considering a move to rugby union if he can't get a NRL contract in 2017.</p> -
<p>It's sad to say, but his form absolutely warrants that decision. It's such a sad way for a great career to end. </p>

<p>This is interesting.</p>
<p>I wonder what position he'd be eyeing up in rugby? Big enough for 6/8? Or more a midfielder. </p> -

<p>Mid-field. Manly, Wests, Newcastle, Souths, St George, Warriors, Gold Coast should all be trying to sign ET.</p> -

<p>Apparently he's only dropped for this game but will be playing the final game of the season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kind of silly that no clubs are interested, he was second in the Dally M just last year, and was injured for a bunch of this year. From what he said last night I think he'd come at a bit of a discount just to stay in the NRL.</p> -

<p>Well if he doesn't get a contract next season, he could aways give rugby a crack. Looks as though he would make a useful 10.......</p>
