Samrani is gun, why we getting rid of him. Get rid of paulo and hopgppd all they do is lay down in the ruck and make so many errors.

  I want Samrani to stay, he's coming along nicely. If we were to import a new forward for 3 years, as good as he is, he'd eventually be blocking a host of young forwards coming thru. Lets reward our juniors

    Samrani is the one we can't let slip. We need to sacrifice and get rid of paulo, hopgood can stay as he shows plenty. Paulos time is up as an eel and we need to let tuivati, moretti, Teacum Brown, Ryda etc all play. Need to let go of simmo and put Richard in, we need youth in this team more than we need experience. Also papali needs a spot, i've said before we have Iongi who is like Hayne and Papalii who is like a Benny Barba. We are wasting youth on old heads like simmo, Paulo, hopgood.

    To some no such thing as blocking.

  I wouldn't say he is a gun but he is a decent player who can get better. Hell i even think we should look into him replacing Russell at Centre in 2027.
  
  You are right though, he is signed for 2027, we should keep him.

  So if we land him, next year we'll have Dad's Army in our forward pack. Jr, JDB, Walker and Barnett
  
  Lets hope he chooses Broncos over us. Don't want to lose Samrani and $860k for 3 years would basically mean we won't be shopping for any top line 5/8 or centre.

Get him we need him !

If true I like the aggressive nature of the move.

JR knows his team can't compete with the big boys in the comp he just doesn't have the talent.

Again if we get this across the line it's a win for the club and it continues the upward trend.

The key here is if this is real they need to finish the job.

  3 years not too long? I think that also means we wont resign JDB.

"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…"

"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."
