Was nothing but a shove tbh. Stupid but nothing should come of it.
Actually he should be fined and moved to wing.

Looks likely, based on the numbers;Reimis looking at a week after MRC charge.
He is still nothing big money though. We signed him for peanuts and then upgraded him. If say he is in the 400k range.The only small thing I have is we’ve paid fullback money for DWZ to be a winger. I’m hardly happy about this.
Still too much for a glorified wingerHe is still nothing big money though. We signed him for peanuts and then upgraded him. If say he is in the 400k range.
Dwz a glorified winger? Lmao relaxStill too much for a glorified winger
Hes playing on the wing fyiStill too much for a glorified winger
He threw a few bad passes! We missed a couple of opportunities due to that. If Remis could pass to the right DWZ would have scored two tries. But overall a good performancePay finally listened, put some players in their best positions and we've moved off the bottom of the ladder with a well deserved win...yay.
Plus the Prince is back
Bahahahaha in the presser Pay claimed to have taken it to the senior players, his idea apparently!No it was def the fans lol
He was our man of the match, and many peoples favourite player last year, but you think 400k for the ex NZ captain is overs?? Righto.Still too much for a glorified winger
For a winger yes. Especially when tht was the last of our needs- we need a hooker, half or fullback.He was our man of the match, and many peoples favourite player last year, but you think 400k for the ex NZ captain is overs?? Righto.
I’d have rather gone after a hooker for instance. Grant was an option for instance.Dwz a glorified winger? Lmao relax

You do realise that $400k is just over the NRL 30 player average being $9.6m / 30 = $330k. What you are saying is DWZ, as a current NZ test player, is worth barely more than the average NRL player. Is it possible that you might be undervaluing what he's worth since quite plainly he is a lot better player than average. Or that you are undervaluing NRL players in general, just a thought.Still too much for a glorified winger
It is entirely possible for a team to have both a decent (test level) fullback/winger and a decent hooker. It is not a decent (test level) fullback/winger or a decent hooker, we can have both. In fact we need both and we shouldn't let a very decent (test level) fullback/winger at a bargain price go elsewhere until we sign a decent hooker. Take advantage of what's available whilst simultaneously pursuing what's needed.I’d have rather gone after a hooker for instance. Grant was an option for instance.
Last year we needed a fb. We still do really. We picked him up for absolutely nothing as he wanted out of Penrith, and He was fantastic for the rest of the year.For a winger yes. Especially when tht was the last of our needs- we need a hooker, half or fullback.
That was my point, he is fantastic value for money. The fact I suggested he is likely on 400-450k is because he was re-signed at the end of last year/beginning of This year, and we had very little wriggle move in our cap.You do realise that $400k is just over the NRL 30 player average being $9.6m / 30 = $330k.

I don't think we need any halves either. On our books we have Foran, wakeham, biondi-odo, Averilo, and then Lewis and cogger as back ups. We have too many halves in a sense.For a winger yes. Especially when tht was the last of our needs- we need a hooker, half or fullback.
So you think we didn’t go for grant was because we paid $400k for a winger seriously mate dwz is a gun winger but its only $400k champI’d have rather gone after a hooker for instance. Grant was an option for instance.
Oh but Twin, didn’t you know?It is entirely possible for a team to have both a decent (test level) fullback/winger and a decent hooker.

It is quite common on TK for some to assume that just because we didn't sign their particular flavour of the month player that we didn't "go after them". The fact is every player agents knows that we have cash to splash in 2021 and would almost certainly be interested in talking to us, they are mostly on a % of course so it's in their own interests to follow the money. The fact that we haven't signed Grant, yet, is no indication that we didn't, and still don't continue to, pursue him and other options.
