To be fair, he did have a poor game under the high ball

I would seriously consider just holding Katoa if you still have him, Warriors website confirmed he will be back next week.

I guess there is the worry that he returns from the bench now that they have a few troops back, but he has shown the ability to score well when coming off the bench.

That said, Crichton is a fair upgrade, so maybe just ignore me.

I’m considering holding JTB due to lack of options I like. BE42 I think. Will go backwards in price but maybe not too much.

People on twitter annoyed Barry Toohey enough that he asked him and AOB about it in their pressers earlier this week.

Ponga said he has free reign to roam and hasn't done anything different (intentionally), nor was it a specific plan.

Idea is probably planted in his head now though so we'll probably see him float back to the left more this week.

These deals are meant to be subject to the NRL auditor approving them as appropriate to market rate, and regardless of whether he is worth a mil a year, it seemingly is the market rate for him.

Just because he can score well against good opposition, doesn't mean that he necessarily does.
Last year was easily his highest fantasy averaging year since leaving the Roosters, and even then he averaged 59 in games they won vs 46 in games they lost.
So, sure if you think the Warriors are going to win more than they lose... opposition does tend to make a difference for attacking players when viewed across multiple games - better opposition tend to give up less tackle breaks etc...

FalconSloth wrote:The list of off contract hookers includes Mahoney, friend and mccoulough who would all be amazing for the club. However, the list off off contract halves is this:
Jack Cogger, Cade Cust, Rhys Davies, Drew Hutchison, Nicho Hynes, Ryley Jacks, Cooper Johns, Mason Lino, Luke Metcalf, Sean O'Sullivan, Tyrone Roberts, Braydon Trindall, Brandon Wakeham, Dean Blore, Kieran Foran, Matt Frawley, Blake Green, Adam Keighran, Lachlan Lam, Benji Marshall, Tyrone May, Nathaniel Roache, Tristan Sailor, Jaeman Salmon, Will Smith, Connor Watson.

The only real talent that is proven is Marshall, Foran, Watson and Green. Marshall doesn’t have much longer in his career, Foran is too injury prone for a team lacking consistency, Watson just isn’t the type of guy we need at halfback but could be good for a hooker, and green would probably be the pick of the lot but at 33 is getting old.

So a good hooker from the list above (plus B Smith if C smith plays on) and some additional strike power in the backs to go along with the signings in the forwards (Tino signed and Ese’es And Asiata looking likely) and then some young kids that are floating around.

And then as soon as November rolls around they should be going all out on Keary and Flanagan who are both off contract at the end of next year. At the end of next year Ash Taylor is also off contract so hopefully we can sign him on a smaller deal to partner Flanagan or keary
