Just saw a report saying RTS is looking for a return to a Sydney club to play another 2 years or so. With Warbrick joining the Wahs he will not be staying in NZ. Be a great addition

He will go to Roosters until Nawaqanitawase is back after WC and Tupou more likely retiring so need 2 Wingers. They have Garrick, RTS could be other. He is 34 next year, we can look elsewhere for backline.
If we needed experience and a place holder til a junior is ready then sure. But we are not in that position. We need ready made players to start and for a long time.
as stated by others past his best, hasn't been the same when left the chooks. So no thanks, would rather promote a junior and perservere getting them up to scratch.
Honestly... why does this club have such trouble developing wingers? It's the position we are absolute garbage at getting right. I don't rate any of the reserve grade wingers coming up, and we're not bringing anyone through that I see legitimately has 1st grade potential.
"I reckon the ruck 6 again nonsense will stop soon. All these nrl crackdowns are short lived. JDB could still prove to be useful. It's a long season. "
"He was only signed for this year with a club option for the second. This is not surprising at all. We needed an old head to help lead the Juniors, he is only here for a year, we needed to spend the unused money in our cap for 2026. Serious nothing…"
"Get him to play wing and get xerii/tago on the other center next to fox. The more players like Rts will help the younger wingers come through. Right now we have not outside backs."

He's done
No thanks, wouldn't be terrible but way, way past his best. Go younger.

Good player but no thanks; and we have more youth to come in.
Nah, he's too old and injury prone.

WE should go out an offer a miilion dollars to the young winger from Tigers....he will be worth that much anyway within 2 years.
Just make the offer to good to refuse!!!!!
Over the hill and way past his best.
He would be a perfect fit for Parra.
