Rumour KIKAU for AFB swap

[D.O.W.]

Why would we pay so much to get Luai when we simply dont need him at all? We have plenty 6s. Burton isnt moving from 6, we have plenty of centres and he wont play 7 either. Luai isnt a 7, but lets say you believe that he is, we also have Sexton and a few others that can play 7 already also. Good juniors coming through too. We could do with a few more forwards like AFB. But thats all we need. And the right coaching of course. Jury is out on Ciraldo.

Personally, I’d rather spend the money on middles, just putting it out there the deal is very cap viable… but if the club is recruiting origin caliber players, couldn’t begrudge that either - market is slim pickings.

Based on Kiks last season performance and the emergence of Preston as an edge back-rower, I’m saying yes to that deal.

In fact, if that deal happens - Luai + AFB is viable

Give them Burton and we can still get both Luai + AFB AND more than likely Terrell May

If the Warriors are going to make things difficult we might be better off signing both May and Hamlin-Uele for less than the price of AFB. Plenty left over for Dearden / Mam / Luai

You don’t have a regular source and this source is the daily telegraph.

To be honest, that sounds more viable than AFB for Kiks.

I’d say No, make it work another way

 

[Matilida]

no not for me.

 

[Rassayri]

Why would you do a player swap when all we have to do is wait a year for him doesn’t make sense to me

Because the Warriors could easily trade him to another Sydney club.... we miss our highly sought after impact prop and all we have to show for it is an overpaid backrower who will be tits on a bull without go forward to lay a platform.

Hmm tempting

Sounds like complete BS. Completely demented if there's any truth to it.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Don't shoot the messenger !
I have been told by not my usual source of info that the Warriors are asking for Kikau as a swap for AFB as early as 2024,
If true, opinions ?

Prob because Capewell isn’t coming

The Wahs should ask for Fox cos they need express pace in that backline

I’ll say yes to any of them going for AFB

 

[Bad Billy]

No. fucken. way.
Dye RFM’s hair blonde and send him.

People forget that 'trades' (albeit this isn't the NFL) mean that both sides receive value. Both clubs need to get something they want, and that usually means giving up a player you don't want to let go. Warriors will want value to entertain AFB's release. Whether it's Kikau or someone else, chances are we'll have to give up a player we don't want to lose if we want to beat out other clubs competing for AFB.

Ask yourself - if Critta wanted an early release, would you entertain that for little to no value? No. You'd want something equivalent in return.

Nasheed here,
If we did this we would just be swapping a prop problem for a 2nd row problem so nah
Unless we knew in some world where we is 200% sure it’s the only way the deal would happen

With DWZ on one wing and RTS on the other, they have no need for JAC.

Plus JAC isn’t stupid enough to go to NZ with his Let’s Trott brand going gang busters.

Always a Bulldog

What did we get in return when we let Barba and Klemmer go?
