I'm starting to doubt any forward is worth more than 800k, unless they are like Payne Haas and basically make 200 metres every week in the middle of the field

Fifi should come back to us when his contract is up, for a reasonable salary

The thing for me is that at the time the talk was that his signing would be the one that motivates others to also come in and play for them.

We haven't seen that though, they bought well a couple of seasons ago, they finished 8th last season in a season where losing more than you won was good enough to make the 8. Since then they've lost a few players in their spine.

He would be flat out making the QLD starting 13.

It has been helpful in keeping our juniors mate which in my opinion has been better than signing 99% of the people who were available last season. Very excited on that front.

Also who did we lose in the spine that was doing well anyway? Fogarty most of us wanted dropped, Rein wasn't any better than Clarke and Taylor (untenable at that point).

Sure probably not the best bang for buck signing but I'm hardly going to complain about it. Who else were we going to sign for the last 2 years that would've been our top tryscorer etc.?

I honestly doubt that Walsh's career would have been much different had he stayed. He was killing it in QCup and we saw how frantic Kev was with team selections.

Do you agree that he's still not up to NRL standards yet?

And always remember if your life seems dull and dreary..................it is!

I think he is an NRL player, but he is 19 years old. He isnt going to have the consistency in his game a 24 year old would. If you are prepared to let young players develop in first grade, you have accept they will make errors and you have to accept the inconsistency of performance.

I just don't think he's worth what he's being paid, it will be interesting when his contract is up, I can't see how he gets that same figure again and would he take a paycut to play in a team that is clearly in a development phase?

Maybe another club gets desperate, who knows.

It was more about keeping players in the fold. The Gold Coast have really stepped up their junior development lately and have some quality prospects coming through who otherwise would have gone elsewhere for an opportunity.

One of the biggest issues the Titans had were keeping the talent on the Gold Coast. Fans forget that Reece Walsh, Xavier Coates and Brendan Piakura all came through the Gold Coast system.

Fifita is on the market again come November 1st, he can decide whether he wants to stay or head elsewhere for his own career. Either way, the Gold Coast got their value out of him.

Holbrook's little whinge has paid dividends, they're comfortably winning the count

Warriors lose the count every week except against the top teams to keep us in the game, where we get heaps of penalties to even up the season.

7 / 2 this week

8 / 4 last week

An extra 30 odd extra tackles every week. Lose the possession and territory plus extra fatigue. We lost plenty of close games last year…

So as well as getting hammered in the penalty count; 5 penalties coming out of their own 40. CHT knock on try disallowed. No penalty for Walsh’s face slap. Challenged loose carry called as a strip and no evidence of a strip but not overturned.

We’re not a great team but we need a 50/50 shot to be competitive 🤷‍♂️

Smash em bro

The head high no penalty was a joke, I am not exaggerating when I say they were getting sent for 10 last year for exactly that sort of tackle

I believe he's NRL standard, but he would be on a different trajectory if he was in the Melbourne Storm system.

However the majority of clubs don't operate like Melbourne.

Parra look very flat

 
Big fan of Nico Hynes. He’s made a cpl errors, but he is making Moylan look like the player he was at the Panthers. I see Will Kennedy, and I just think he’s the new version of David Peachey.
‘The Sharks are running Parra ragged. But will they have the stamina to go the 80?

if he was in the Melbourne system he would still be in cup.

Ramien is so hard to stop if you let him build up a head of steam.
