Really looking forward to seeing how this guy goes for us, also how him & Seymour go together with them already knowing each others games.

been saying this all year m8, its ok people on here saying we can start using green, kent ect as replacements and back up for next year but what about if these guys arnt good enough or ready at this level which i hope they are but there untried at super league level and there a huge diffrence from 1st grade and 20s.

heremia gone under the radar a bit in terms of our new recruits becuase some feel he isnt needed and hasnt got the greatest of cvs if you like but i really do think he will go well. hes a attacking hooker that loves to get out and very much play and bring the halfbacks into play like michael monaghan, im not saying hes as good not at all but if he can play in the same way then we will be a better side. people talk about how we sign players who were good but are no more like long ect but this guy is very much in his prime and playing his best rugby

I think a few people are also writing him off because of his time at Leigh, Widnes & Halifax but he's played quite a bit of NRL and also played for NZ since then so he's got to at least be a decent player.

he played championsip over here a few years ago and was quite poor and thats partly why people are writing him off but hes playing well now in the nrl and is the warriors first chioce hooker and was selected for new zealand last year.
our spine of the team for next is looking like
1.mckinnon
6.horne
7.seymour
9.houghton
14.heremia
theres alot more quality there then now and more experince generals if you like to control games

Moa is at the start of his career, who is to say he wont go on to be as god as Ogre/Fitz?

I agree, he is very young for a prop and if he continues to improve has he as done year on year he may well turn out to be just as good. Would be very foolish imo to not put up a fight for his signature.

i agree with all you say,but like i said lyn how much do we value him at?

i hope sam moa stays good youngish prop but the club can only pay so much for him and id like to think the club wont go over board and giving him more then hes worth.

more than Dowes or Radford or Lauaki, that is for certain.

id agree with this but he still shoudnt be near the top earners but potentailly someone with cap space be willing to pay alot more and more then hes worth

I would like to think we value a young prop with a decent injury record very highly...However for some reason unbeknown to most our club appear to favour players who are reaching the end of their careers and they favour them even more if they have a history of injury

omeley?

I mean in £££ terms.

the phrase "the exception that proves the rule" methinks.

fitzgibbon?

28 when we signed him - prime age for a prop.

He's the exception that proved the rule. Knackered now, though, poor Sir Fitz

the young forwards id like the club to look at would be ben davies, larne patrick, liam watts, mark flanagan

Wouldn't would you

So did I

Didn't realise you was a fan.

I think we need to try and move obst on. IMO he's 3rd choice hooker and 3rd choice half back and he earns too much to be sat in the stands if everyone's fit. We need to use youngsters as cover, not established 1st teamers

he was a panic buy, that is for certain, he is a good player but, as you say, en expensive luxury, especially as we've gifted Horne 2 more years.

woudnt mind him
