Can see Bienek being released
Seems very far down the pecking order (unless that’s down to the salary cap)

I hope not. He's progressing slowly but he has size. You'd imagine it's a matter of time before he comes good.

Sao, Taylor, Bowden and hopefully one more overseas prop should be fine with Matongo, Fash and Brown as cover.

Isn't sao down to play 13?

Probably signals our intent of starting 3 props again rather than a ball playing loose man. Interestingly (to me anyway), when he's not coming off the bench for the first team - he's playing pretty much 80 minutes a game for the 2nd team. Playing at Lock, 2nd row or Prop. Good metres after contact and has an offload. https://www.warriors.kiwi/teams/nsw-cup ... /ligi-sao/

I too think Bienek will be released
Hasnt played or not selected for the last two Batley games.
He had previously been selected on the bench each time but didnt seem to be having much impact so perhaps Batley have sent him back.
In any case he must be kicking himself leaving London.

Didn’t FC pay a fee for him. Don’t think the club would waste money in that way. He was sent out on loan to gain fitness, perhaps he’s injured? Unless the club say otherwise, he’s firmly in their plans for next season?

Sao and Satae stats are very good for the NSW Cup side.

If rumours are to be believed, a couple of weeks ago we were in pole position to sign him before Leeds stepped in with a longer (4 year?) contract offer

Time will tell Homenaway, maybe they will announce any NRL signings when their play off places are settled.
