NZ is a basket case, no players or coaches want to go their. Luke Metcalf is the next talented young player who will properly only stay in NZ for half his contract while he establishes himself as a first grade player.
Yeah but it's not their fault. The NRL should be doing more for them. Covid raped them up the ass they have not been able to develop their own players in 2.5 years, they have been away from home, they've made some signings while in Aus but as we now see those players don't want to live in NZ. It's pretty poor form from the NRL to just leave the Warriors be like this.
You would have expected some sort of support in helping them with rebuilding their junior base in NZ. I don't even think their reserves have been playing regular footy in 2 years either.
As far as Reece Walsh goes, he has huge potential, but I am surprised he went to Broncos. Would have thought Dolphins would be his pick.
Surely Broncos are a few mil above the cap now? Signed Cobbo, Staggs on big money, Reynolds on big money. Farmsworth just resigned I am pretty sure and so has Oates. Haas still on the books, Carrigan worth a bit more now. Fuck their squad is awesome. They go close too grand final next year.
