Recruitment 2022 Warriors Recruitment Discussion

[Wheels]

What is the latest on Papali or was that just hearsay? Is center/wing still the most contentious position(s) for the Warriors in 2023. I am a fan of Kosi taking one of the wing positions as I am pretty sure he will continue to improve and is pretty good close to the line and scoring tries. I have no clue who our starting centers will be for next year but personally if the squad ws to remain the same I would put Walker in with a preseason under his belt. I think he just has a bit more class than Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and experience than Vailea/Berry....

dont get your hopes up robbo wants club jnrs so we see few come through on peanuts

Sorry I'm behind the beat on this one - Everyone is wondering about sources but I can't understand it to begin with, I think it is the last line that I have got lost on haha

Are you saying that Robinson wants more club juniors playing so we won't be recruiting 'name' players such as Tapine or Flegler for a bit while we give homegrown young guns on cheaper FG contracts?

I don’t know for sure who GeePee is, but I’m pretty confident he does get good mail.

In Kosi's last 4 appearances 9 tackle breaks, 10 line breaks, 7 tries, averaging 150m a game but apparently that's standard winger stuff that every winger does according to some on here.... I think he's a beast and has hit some good form I'm on the Kosi train Choo Choo!

Should have 10 tries and averaging 200 bro!

I was more confused about the guy with the Kanye West avatar named TheCool that had so much info on what was happening in the local under 6's that I'd always take notice of. The other day I was thinking I wonder where he is, but at least this Five&Last is posting some content that's almost as good.

Of course you're thinking of 6 year olds when reading my post. As if the Muppets avatar wasn't a give away.

Cces or a someone who knows their numbers

A brief google of the Kepu twins

Otukinekina Kepu 6 foot 2 112 Kgs
Valingi Kepu 6 foot 2 110 Kgs

Have those weights been updated since 6 months ago by memory they were listed as lighter in my minds eye...how accurate is the warriors site kept?

Bunty Afoa is 6 foot 2 113kgs

So right now they would be about as effective as he is using a very rudimentary and flawed analysis.

I would be having those Kepu boys fattened up asap.

I enjoyed reading TheCools posts as someone who doesn't live in Nz so have no idea about players coming through. Think he and another member had a bit of back and forth earlier this year from memory then never saw his handle again.

He outed himself as Five&Last when asked a few pages back. I was having a joke and do like his posts. Some very good info on up and coming players.

Yes for a variety of reasons users often choose to change their username. Anyone is able to do so (there's a limit on how often it can be changed).

Upto the user if they want to make their new username public. If someone does want to make it public, please specify so in the "reason" box at the above link when requesting the change.

Whoosh over my head! The posts are eerily similar now you point it out..

The press release the club put out last November had them both at 112kg & 188cm.
Considering there's no profile on the Warriors site for either Jackson Frei or Tom Ale & Dunamis Lui doesn't have a head shot I doubt they update their preseason weight & height.
The people who run that site have had a mere all year as they had excluded all of Nathan Brown's results at St George in his NRL coaching stats which made for grim reading

100% correct.

He might be a reasonable footballer, but he's always doing or saying something daft.

Props my biggest concern, pretty ok with how we have recruited but it’s pretty much Addin Fonua-Blake… daylight…. More daylight in terms of prop. Suspect we will be rolling out a couple of 2nd rowers under the guise of a prop as we seem to have almost enough to make a team outta them.

There doesn't seem to be a correlation between weight and how good a prop is. James Fished Harris is about 104kg whereas big Tino is only 107kg.
Someone like Jared Waera Hargreaves, who seems to be an absolute giant of a man, is only 4kg and 2inches more than the big Kepu...seems pretty nuts.

Tohu Harris is at 112kg too, so let's use him as the bench mark instead of Bunty
