Recruitment 2023/2024 Warriors Recruitment DISCUSSION

[Up the guttz]

Could it be to replace Curran? Why they are looking at a back rower? Man I hope not!

Prob more likely siro

We also don't know what we offered either. Might not have been big money. Maybe Webby/Cappy intend on releasing some other players to try and sign some big names.

At that point he’s just taking up a roster spot.

We have good starters at that position and it’s the only position we have quality younger guys coming through that are actually close to first grade ready.

And that’s ignoring the fact he’s just not that good anyway

 

[Mullayo]

I don't rate Seyfarth or Sironen. Not too hopeful of Ford either, as an undersized crap team castoff.

If we're pestering the Tigers players get a prop. They have 8 in their 30 and at least 4 of them are Kiwis,

There are always some depth players in our top 30. I think Sironen is off contract this year, so my guess would be they were looking to replace him.

I don't know why, personally I don't like the warriors recruiting back-rowers as it's one of the positions we do produce a lot of. I think Cappy/Webster would have their reasons though.

The weird thing about the article is the use of the word lucrative. I'd be thinking (for that player) close to minimum wage as opposed to lucrative...

Sironen gets replaced by the likes of Laban, Maiuu, Sifakula and that money goes towards prop signing for 2024

 

[Mullayo]

Here's our team’s contract status, I've sorted them into areas of supposed expertise, starting with hooker candidtates - 2nd row - lcok- prop. Then halves, 5/8,FB.Wings, Centres.
And my opinion of what to do at their contracts' end.

Freddy Lussick 2023 2024 - ?
Jazz Tevaga 2023 2024 -? 29 discipline?

Josh Curran 2023 2024 - resign if not in jail
Jackson Ford* 2023 2024 - probably release
Bayley Sironen 2023 - release
Niukore* 2023 2024 2025 2026 -31 release

I like the signing tbh would of played a lock role to give Tohu Harris a spell got a feeling there will be a few players playing 2 positions threw out the season according to Barnett and Webster re interviews.. too me he plays under a very weak system may be different now with Sheens & Benji at the helm, I look back to his performance against Broncos RD20 where Tigers won, he set up a try, made a line break ran for 82m, made 50tackles with 1 miss. So the potentially is there then I look back at his junior career 2017 bursted on to the scene, 2018 won U20s player of the year, also played NSW u18s on debut season than played for NSW U20s. Upside also 24yo so still has plenty of time to learn his craft, gotta also add in a different environment people change quickly and he looks like one that has great work ethic, has a good attitude, doesn't shy away from effort. Downside talent isn't fully there yet but under a different coaching regime he may do great, Madge went to Tigers it definitely went backwards in terms of coaching as much as I love Madge and don't want to discredit him but something must of been really wrong under Madge

To add on, everyone was disappointed in the Montoya signing at the time, since he was apparently (i don't follow other teams) average at the struggling bulldogs. He's pleasantly surprised.

Ah yes the old Montoya reference when we are rumoured to sign or have already signed an average player.

 

[Noitall]

Tigers are trying to offload Seyfarth, Nathan Brown is his replacement apparently. If he wants to stay in Sydney, we need another Sydney team with too many props to show interest in him to hopefully see a multi club transfer. Tigers also have their top 30 full and as I said, want Nathan Brown. With all those props, even if they can’t offload Seyfarth then maybe they would release a prop to fit Brown in?

 

[Ref]

Seyfarth is a silly option given the number of second rowers we have and the number of up and comers.

Wait and see what Trial 1 shows us with regards to the young guys.
Big bodies are just what we want at this point. I would sooner a Sifakula than someone elses reject.

 

[playdaball]

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of him! At least we’re looking for players

He should be pleasantly surprised he was about to be out of work.

 

[jonesy101]

Maybe. I do like how he's taken his opportunity though.

 

[Blain]

Seyfarth is pretty highly rated - But I don't know why we wouldn't just keep Siro. Maybe they've already made the call he wont be here in 2024 perhaps. Or have been going for a straight swap even, with his Tiger links.

 

[Noitall]

I see a young Fijian second rower at the tigers Kitione Kautoga is desperate to leave the club after debuting this year. They really rate him on their forum and his tigers player profile doesn’t seem to be there at their site now.

Second rower you say....🤔

 

[The Truth]

God. Our brains trust see the faster rules as an opportunity to stack the team with second rowers. Unbelievable.
Anyone remember the 9s?
Teams with impact caused the most damage.
If you are fatigued and out on your feet, who would you rather tackle.....The likes of Sironen or the likes of Addin Fonua-Blake?
