Good signing. For those who are opposed, respect that...
...but we are in our championship window. This is precisely the type of signing you make.
Wrong right now to think these young guys are ready to step up and replace Haas's workload just yet.
As for the price; well we had serious competition for him. It is a player market after all...

Can't get any worse than when we were paying Ofahengaue, Lodge and TPJ $600k - $800k each
It's a good signing and what we need... but really depends who we trade for him. I'd be fine with giving up someone like Karapani. He's been very good, but we could easily replace him.

Here is the "hit list" put together by Peter Badel:
As revealed by this masthead, boom Broncos development player Antonio Verhoeven is one option, while the Warriors may consider Billy Walters, Jesse Arthars, Deine Mariner, Tom Duffy or Jordan Riki.
Warriors CEO Cameron George has said:
“The absolute intention is to get a player in return, 100 per cent,” George said.
“The Broncos are fully aware of it and they have been good about it, to be honest.
“They understand they are getting an international front-rower that’s an absolute champion of a bloke and a good leader.
“We can’t be a good and caring club and get nothing in return, that’s just not how the game should work.
“We will look at what the alternate options are for us to consider now. They have been great to work with, they have been fully briefed.
“With the timing of game day, it’s stopped conversations for the time being but hopefully we can come to a resolution soon.”
“Antonio is a good young Kiwi kid and Andrew McFadden (Warriors development chief) has mentioned him,” George said.
“We are open minded on what Brisbane can offer us.
“We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes at a club with their salary cap, so we are willing and able to listen and look at options.
“We aren’t targeting one particular position, we didn’t know where Mitch was going to land so we haven’t zoned in on a particular position.
“Mitch is here for the rest of the year, we have one spot left in our roster and it could be filled by anyone next year.
“There’s no real set plan here, but the Broncos know there is a deal to be done.”

I found the below interesting
Alternatives could be anything... could be them looking at options from elsewhere in the NRL

“We can’t be a good and caring club and get nothing in return”
Hmmm…. Isn’t being good & caring not needing anything in return?

Unfortunately for the Wahs, the reason for him wanting to leave is already out there, and they aren't going to be able convince him to stay. I think they can ask for a player in return, 100%, but if nobody from the clubs that have made offers wants to go, there really isn't going to be much Warriors can do. They'd look like absolute pricks now if they told him he can't leave or made him sitout a year.

I'm not even sure if Barnett is a good prop? I've never paid much attention to him.
Could be Arthars for this season and we get Barnett in 27.
Jesse is off contract so we can't give trade him for 27 season.
He's been scratched from the squad, didn't go to the world club challenge, Andersons taken his place and from reports he seemed like someone not fighting for his spot back when he was in Qcup.
