I thought that myself but with IFL and KR being out of the country, he probably hasnt had a disciplinary yet. I would guess that hes reporting daily as normal but training on his own

Unusual for a forward these days he tackles around the legs. David Meade would be a good signing, but i would be suprised if another NRL team doesnt pick him up

Is Gubb any good?

I saw the Mead rumours and wondered if he could be a player Rads has spoken to. It sounds like he can cover a couple of positions which would be handy.

We are looking at Charlie Gubb from NZ according to this



There seems to be a lot going on at the N Z Warriors at the moment, it seems Ryan Hoffmans straight talking to some players is not going down to well with some of the players and as well as that Shaun Johnson has ruffled a few feathers by reportedly going to the board and pointing the finger at certain players.

All this is on the N Z Warriors Front Row forum, thread 6 to be dropped, see below posted 29th May.


"OPINION: The Warriors are a club in chaos.
The repercussions from the Warriors' big night out in Auckland after their Anzac Day thrashing in Melbourne – belted 42-0 – continue to be felt.
It will be some time before the club and everyone involved can move on.

It's understood a group of the Pacific Island players have found captain Ryan Hoffman's very direct Aussie manner difficult to handle."



"The teams' stuttering season is on a knife edge and only an improbable win against the Broncos next weekend seems capable of somehow injecting confidence back into the club and getting the team back on track.
While desperate to promote unity to their disappointed fan base, the team will have to work hard to contain friction​s​ within the p​layer ranks.
Behind the scenes, some team-mates are at odds with each other over how the recent issues have been dealt with.
It is understood the hard-line taken by coach Andrew McFadden and captain Ryan Hoffman, most particularly toward ​some of the ​young players, is not going down well.
But despite all the revelations and confessions since that appalling lack of judgment by six fully contracted players to head out on the town on April 26 and fill themselves up with energy drinks and the pain-killing drug Tramadol, you get the strong feeling the full story is yet to come out.
It seems the Silly Six, or whatever you want to call them – Manu Vatuvei, Ben Matulino, Bodene Thompson, Sam Lisone, Albert Vete and Konrad Hurrell – even allowing for Hurrell's claim that he abstained from the pill popping, had company on their night out in the shape of a former Warriors player whose identity has yet to be revealed. It's understood this mystery guest was a bad influence."

I've been singing the praises of Charlie Gubb and saying he's just the sort of player we should be going for for a while. Hard-working, strong tackler,makes good metres, and still young with his best years ahead of him.

[edit] Reading the link. at 26 (if that's right) Gubb is fair bit older than I thought. Still young enough, though.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Jun 08, 2016 2:00 pm  
Gubb is a crowd favourite at the Warriors and like typical crowd favorites he does a lot of eye catching stuff but has his flaws.

Positives are without doubt his enthusiasm in everything he does. I doubt think he is the most gifted player ever, he is a reasonable size but he seems to love the contact, especially in defence. He comes on hair flies everywhere as he throws his body about looking to hit anything that moves.

Cons mainly his Ho forward, which is ok when he gets involved but he can go missing at times/be pushed out but that may be due to the effort he puts in, in defence.

I think he would go well in SL, big hit machine and the lower intensity may see more in attack from him.

Not going to clock up huge meters but very much in the Wane style of Prop.

Just watched the Warriors Broncos game from the weekend. Gubb came on for the last 30 took 1 drive in, in that time and must have come up with 25+ tackles some that you wouldn't expect a middle to make and did some nice running off the ball.

Team playing workhorse I think sums him up.

Crowd were on their feet cheering when they saw him warming up waiting to come on the field.

As did I. Makes lots of tackles, works hard, doesn't take the ball in too often and doesn't play too many minutes. Got Shaun Wane prop written all over him :thumb:
