    The Warriors are trying to do the right thing by Barnett who is asking to leave on compassionate grounds - so the Wah's are never going to get a dream swap. The names being floated are pretty mid but I guess they're better than nothing.

I don't mind giving samarni but I just don't think Barrett is worth 820. Not sure we wouldn't just offer Kolo that extra year or may that money at the time

That's a bad idea on so many levels, I doubt there is much truth to this at all.

Yes for me! Prefer Barnett over kman from souths which some people on here were willing to pay 1.2 million and sneeze at 800k for Barnett. Hopefully he is the same after knee injury and we get good use out of him. Shame we lose samrani in the process. Fan of his progression too. Most had him in the team this week. I thought Barnett was going to brisbane?

Wow .....a reasonable to good youngster coming through ....is he worse or not a better option then Brian Kelly.

Wtf is going on with recruitment. a 3 year deal at 860K for a 32 year old prop coming off an acl....

The Lomax debarcle. The miss on Galvin, Keon K and now the emergence of Ethan Sanders at Canberra rd 1 v Manly (fuck that made me cry)....thanks D Brown....

I don't see the value in $800k for a 33 year old prop, who will be 36 when he finishes? There is no way this deal is true unless he is coming here before the June 30 deadline. Which when I hear 3 years and a trade I'm hoping they part ways before he returns from injury an starts with a new club.

  Try 900 on 360 Parra have tabled a 900k per season deal for Barnett so I'd suggest like Kolomatangi and Galvin before him JR and the club have a hard on for the given talent.

Dumb move by the club. Offering Samrani and trying to get Barnett. What a fucking wank..

"This is Samrani's chance to steal a spot. Russell leaving opens a spot and Samrani can take it. A bigger body on Shibasaki can work.
Ryles has seemed to have leaned on Penisini a bit but if Samrani plays well it will make it more on the line for…"

"Where does the FG come in? At the start to make it 1-0? Or does a player who should have went off for HIA slot one for practice around 75th min mark?"

We finally made it to the last spot in the 17. The bench back-rower.Dean Pay and Junior Paulo won out the bench middle spots. Narrowly beating Daniel Wagon (who i secretly hope gets the 17 spot as he is underrated to me).Once this is done i will do…
