Warriors coach Stephen Kearney had to ask a reporter if he was serious after he tried to compare newcomer Kodi Nikorima to club legend Stacey Jones.
Midway through a press conference with media today, Kearney was asked about Nikorima's debut for the Warriors in which they snapped a four-game losing streak with a comeback win over the Dragons.
After giving Nikorima a passing grade, saying he will "get better", Kearney was asked a peculiar question.
"Just physically speaking, I've noticed he resembles Stacey Jones quite a lot," the reporter started.
"Is that part of the appeal of Kodi?"
Kearney, visibly bemused by the question, paused for a second before firing back a question of his own.
"Are you serious?"
The reply got some giggles from other reporters before Kearney offered a cheeky answer.
"Two Stacey Jones' in the building. No, that's definitely not the appeal," he said.
"The appeal is I think he's a fairly good footballer and I think he can help the team.
"One Stacey Jones is enough, believe me."
