Didn't see this one coming.

Three signings in one week, can't be bad (and seemingly under the radar too)

I like to reserve judgement until they play for us. No reason to doubt anyone at all, just like to see them for myself first.

whats your opinion of him as a player, don`t know too much about him myself

Played in the lower leagues over here I think . Quite an average signing imo.

Are we using a qouta spot or does is he eligible along the manu route played here a while in the lower leagues at fax and widnes IIRC.

Didn't the brother announce this one weeks ago?

When I saw 'NZ International' I got my hopes up, but then I notice he has only played for NZ once, and has turned out for Leigh, Widnes and Halifax

Where did this one come from?

Not overally impressed seems to be more of a hooker than a halfback, so seems to be too much like Obst.

Strange signing IMO.

stats.rleague.com/rl/scorers/pla ... emaia.html Why have we signed another hooker. Very disapointed with this.

He's a good player, I don't remember seeing him play in the halfs tbh.

He's defiantly got better with age and is playing the best footy of his career.

I'm a bit confused tbh, we've got houghton, obst and Newton coming through. Is hooker a priority?

So we can develop him into a right winger

Hooker or half back? Does it spell the end for horne or long?

The only thing I can think he the end of Long or Horne?

halfbacks for next year signed Ellis, Obst and Heremaia

Hooker Heremaia, Houghton and Obst.

Is there any need to sign Horne and Long now?

The only thing i can think of is that he will play LF in place of Fitz?

Is Obst only on a 1 year deal?

If so it's a good signing cos we need someone to spell Houghton in every game for me.

Warriors fans dont seem too bothered about losing him. Most are wishing him all the best but cant hold him in very high regard if they're not fussed hes going.
If I recall correctly, he gave the game up for a while after being in England before. Went home to NZ and became a chef and played club footy. And thats where he was spotted by the Warriors.

Or Washbrooke.

I think Ellis replaces Washbrook.

Mckinnon
Briscoe
Yeaman
Gleeson
Sharp
Horne
Long/Ellis
O Meley
Houghton
Moa
Manu
Tickle
Heremaia

Obst
Radford
Dowes
Westerman

If we've signed a hooker/halfback to replace fitz then we're fooked

Just guessing but he seems to be a defensive player rather than attacking player.

He won't be playing lf, Obst has a two year deal.

On the assumption that Phelps,Lauaki & Fitz won`t be getting new deals that leaves us with one spot available, surely we must be looking at a forward to complete our quota.

Sorry I don't understand?

Obst 100% has a 2 year deal though.

Only guessing but I'd imagine he's off quota?
