Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3427913, member: 9853"] Warriors hope to land Te Maire on a three year deal this week. No mention if this might involve an immediate swap for Walsh. [I][B]Kevin Walters:[/B][/I] [INDENT]“I don’t want to block Te Maire’s development so if he gets a longer-term deal elsewhere, that’s great for him."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“In an ideal world, we would keep him, but the reality is Te Maire deserves to be playing regularly in the NRL and I’m not sure if that’s going to happen here. I would love to hang onto him, he has been fantastic for us, but it’s going to be difficult. With Reece Walsh coming in and Tesi coming back from injury and playing as well as he is, Te Maire unfortunately may get squeezed out. It’s not a case of us not wanting him, but I’m confident there will be better opportunities elsewhere for Te Maire.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“To be honest, I see Te Maire primarily as a five-eighth. He has done a great job for us at fullback, but I feel six or seven are his best positions and we are well covered there in the halves. Ezra Mam is a long-termer at five-eighth and we have our captain ‘Reyno’ Adam Reynolds at halfback. Te Maire may leave the nest here but the nest is always open if he wants to come back. It’s been a great two-way relationship. We helped get Te Maire back into the NRL and he has repaid that with some great form this year.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
