Seems a good team guy, good around the squad, solid, workmanlike on the field, had his injury issues, keep him fit he’ll be a decent asset but given the forwards we’ve signed and have I’m not surprised we didn’t renew his contract

Your biggest problem will be keeping him fit. He's injured a lot

Matt Shaw has been Tweeting that Waqa Blake has signed.

To be fair Baldwinson was one of our stand out forwards in 2023 before he got injured. Hope he finds some fitness and gets his career back on track.

Blake signed 2 year deal

Would expect him and Armitage to be first choice centres. Gill as backup with Myers. Myers can also cover wing.

You'd expect the first-choice backline to be Tafua, Blake, Armitage and Okenbor. These guys won't have signed up to be backup players.

That said, there'll be injuries and suspensions (Yes, Tafua, I'm looking at you), so Gill and Myers will get plenty of game time.

Welcome Waqa. Competition for places in the backline for the first time in years. What is going on?!

Another good addition to the squad regardless of what some idiot RL journalists have been spouting this week on Twitter. 150+ NRL appearances and 60+ tries. He has the potential to cause havoc next year in the Championship.
