Maybe a 3 year contract is worth a lot more to Litten than a 1 year contract.

Only guessing.

Same with Hadley, 3 years would be a bigger contract (worth more money) than 1 year.

Or, to quote LR, "Hull KR were prepared to offer more money than we were and they go with our blessing and best wishes."

we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, it may be just the fact these 2 players want more first team action and we cant give them that, in a salary cap sport we just cant keep everybody, every signing is a risk and so is letting players go,

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Wed Jul 31, 2019 3:12 pm  

I'd imagine plenty of money is already committed for 2021 (when another 11 players are out of contract).

Those stats for Sao and Satae are pretty impressive, we shouldnt lack go forward at all, from what ive read on the warriors forums both of them are workhorses defensivley too i think in one game Satae made 22 tackles in 23 minutes lol

Both have been championed by the warriors fans to be in the first eleven more, and Satae is meant to bend the line for fun.

Cant wait to see the, both just wondering how tall and heavy are they both, Satae looked huge on a video i watched

Yes, chuck in Ma'u and Jones and things are really freshened up. Ma'u is 30, the others 26, so theoretically coming into their prime. Plenty of competition in the backs too, hopefully get a good pre season into them and hit the ground running. Really looking forward to seeing Fonua again.

Your right Mrs B

It may take our new look pack a while before it turns into a unit, but the signings of Josh Jones & Savalio made a few sit up and take notice.

The overseas players seem to have great recommendations, and the return of Mahe bolsters a very good back line. And with Albert Connor and Fonua, we’ve got some class acts to look forward to.

AP has done our club proud, we are contenders, after years of mediocrity. I’d put the pass prices up, and offer some kind of share issue again.

and Griffin as I'm not entirely sure he has the work rate to play back row plus he's been very good this year at centre.

Its a good headache to have, at least now whoevers being inconsistent, making dumb errors regular can now have a rest with quality backup in the house

Shirts all to play for, should encourage some consistency

I spoke to someone at the club last week and said I cant begin to even try and name our three quarters for next year. They said that by the time theyve finished we will struggle to name our 17! Big talk, see if it comes true
