Melbourne Storm

[year of the roo]

Will be unbeatable when Inglis and Crocker are back and return to match fitness. I hope Benny Cross' injury isn't too serious either, he has had rotten luck recently in the injury department.

Oh crap I forgot about Billy. Kick out Inglis (3 ) and slot in Billy the Kid!

Don't ever play Turner again as he betrayed us and left the club.

I want plenty of size off the bench for finals, so no Friend or S.Turner.

On that criteria are you also dropping Webster & Hill?

And Friend and Kidwell?

 

[Philhawk]

No way!

Webster and Turner are the turncoats!

Hill - Forced out of the club due to salary cap issues

Kidwell - Ditto

Friend - Will always be limited to a bench player while Smith is at the club

Just on not having Friend on the bench YOTR, I think that's a silly move because we'll need some backup for Smithy on the bench allowing him some freedom to possibly move into the halves.

 

[Lidge]

The worst aspect of Rugby League is the farcical transfers, mid-season poaching & signings.

The NRL really needs an overhaul in this area - and should take a leaf out the AFL way of doing things.

It's just way too easy for a player to weasel out of a club for more cash, and the club's have very little control.

any news on Joel Moon crossing and Nate Miles, thought they would decide today i saw

Smith at Hooker for 80 mins is something I want to see a lot more of. We have Geyer who can move into the halves if need be, with Kidwell or Hoffman then able to play in the centres. I think we have ample options off the bench without Friend.

I wish him the best at Gold Coast though. Truly one of the unluckiest players I have seen being stuck behind the durable, reliable, brilliant Cam Smith.

Last year Orford was going to 'decide today' about 30 days in a row. These things take time!

 

[Philhawk]

Joel Moon - 60% - we've offered him a fair bit of cash and a starting position. Also being courted by those pricks, the Cowboys.

Nate Myles - Cowboys again have jumped the pecking order with Myles's manager Gavin Orr saying last night it's really either the Roosters of Cowboys.

This sucks.

Go this Friday mate. Friday Night match against the Sharkies!

 

[Hawksforever!]

Cheers Philhawk much appreciated. Here's hoping the storm enjoy another victory at Olympic Park!!!

 

[Fire Storm]

Turner and Webster are great player's that Storm should've tried to keep. And Friend. Awsome player of the bench.

Will be sad to see Scotty go. One if Storm's finest to ever play for the club. Injury prone over the last couple years unfortunately.

We can't keep them all mate. And Friend was never going to stay.

It was reported in todays paper that the Storm were going after Adam MacDougall from Souths. WHY?!?!?!?!

Not a fan of the cowboys are you philhawk???

MacDougall's signed to go back to Newcastle.

Don't think we were going hard for him, just a Plan B or C, in case our priority targets fell through. Not as though he'd be too expensive, and would have fit in under the salary cap.

And Robbie Kearns has re-signed with the Storm on a $2 contract. Won't play unless we get a couple of injuries. Cheapest insurance policy that money can buy.

Our biggest signing hope now lies with Moon. I'm rather doubtful that we'll get him though ...

Nah - I reckon will get him. The kid will be itching to play regular first grade footy. He'll get that in Melbourne. The coin on offer, moving interstate etc would be secondary factors only at this stage of his career.

is that true? surely your not serious

 

[Lidge]

is that true? surely your not serious

Dead serious. He's currently an assistant coach and as fit as the players. The club lodged his papers with the NRL just before cut off, and he's officially on the books with a $2 value.

Not expected to play, but if a couple of the front rowers go down, he's the super sub come semi finals time.
