Tetevano is an absolute unit and has the aggression to match. He's on such little coin because of his history of off field issues. If we were to go after him id just hope these issues are behind him, because normally I would be against signing blokes that bash their missus. Manu does need a lot of work on his defence, but I reckon if we could get him out the potential Cronk signing he could be a day 1 starter for us. Im doubtful that they would let go of Manu though and especially Liu who has become such a key player in their forward pack over the last season. To be honest I think they would release Taukeiaho before they release Liu.

Yeah that would be the only issue I see with Tetevano. I would gladly release Kata if it meant signing Manu. Was surprised by the article saying that Taukeiaho was only on $150k especially considering he's signed through to the end of 2020. Agree on your statement about the Roosters in regards to Liu and Taukeiaho. Taukeiaho has had a lot of niggly injuries the last couple of years. Hasn't gotten close to his 2015 form.

Junior Paulo’s under contract for next season but if Canberra need to shed players he’s really the one we need, it would have to be significant money and a long term offer because he’s currently getting 500k a season and we’d probably need to pay well over that to get him here which would be big money for a prop forward with less than 100 games of NRL.

His go forward’s all but guaranteed so while someone could argue it’s too much money to have tied up in a prop you’d need to consider the added value you get out of guys like Shaun Johnson, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and particularly someone like Isaac Luke.

He’d be absolutely worth it in my mind.

BTW, not buying the rumor about the Raiders wanting to part with Joey Leilua, he’s 50% of the most damaging center/wing pairing in the game, why give that up.

Zac guilford?
I saw he missed out on a super rugby contract.
I don't really follow much rugby these days- just the AB games and crusaders when it's convenient so I wouldn't know but he used to be a good player and is still young(ish).
I know we need forwards but beales injury doesn't sound too flash. If he was on the cheap would he be worth a look?

With the Roosters signing Cronk they'll have to shed a few players you'd think, especially if they want to keep Pearce. Time for the Warriors to get the cheque book out and try to sign Manu, Liu and Tetevano.

The Warriors are trying to change their bad culture, is it really worth taking a risk on Zac considering his past?

What level are we talking here? In rugby league terms? Having a cruiser on the roof? Or pissing in his own mouth?

Coz there's no way I'd sign a guy who drinks cruisers.
that's a good point...

A Rarotonga bar worker confirmed to The Dominion Post this morning that "the All Black player Zac'' walked into the bar naked and bleeding and assaulted at least one person .

At least now he has admitted to being an alcoholic which is a step in the right direction.

Was a big fan of Guildford when he burst on the scene, very good winger.
Seems to come with too much baggage though cycling through Hawke’s Bay, Clermont, Tasman, wairapa bush, Waikato, Hurricanes, crusaders and Waratahs since 2007 and not being kept on tells a tale
