Come on people, let's get behind this bloke and get him to Melbourne. He is off contract at the end of the season so there is no better time to recruit him to the southern capital.

Storm fans love their front rowers, especially those with a bit a mongrel in them.

Get on board.

What more can he add to our side besides a bit of knuckle? The bloke only spends 15 mins on the field at any given time then starts throwing them. A liability i reckon.

I think we could do better than Weyman..the game has changed with the introductions of just 10 interchanges...we need forwards who can play 60mins per game.

I think he will be over priced for what we would get out of him. we need to get one or two backs for next year so thats whrer the focus will be i'm sure

But then again if we don't sign blair and lima then we would be in the market for a couple of props

i was a big fan when he first started out, but like ice mentioned if he is only going to play 15-25 minutes then whats the point. He does have mongrel and does hit hard, but we want metres aswell...not sure how many metres he makes but i cant see him getting as much as lima.

He has had injuries hence his lack of minutes, but he is a great impact player.

With a bit of luck there is no reason he couldn't replicate Jeff Lima's exploits. Jeff was out of shape when he arrived, now he is an international player.

I reckon he will be at a reasonable price, his suspension will probably put a few of the other clubs off. Bellamy will straighten him out.

no we don't want Weyman at all.  He's an undisciplined grub, who frankly has not lived up anywhere near the raps that were put on him when he first started.  Whilst a change of scenery might be good for him, I don't think he's a priority on any level
Storming our way to glory!

He would be a very high risk/reward signing. Alot of risk for alot of reward. Probaly not a bad signing really at the right price. Another Canberra prop was a bit of a dick before he got here. Would need to trim down though.

Nope, he's injury prone. He's hardly ever on the field, less games than Benji.

Injury prone, undisciplined and - worst of all - not actually very good.
Ball control is poor and his few option plays are decidedly ordinary.

I'm not so sure,

But If Bellamy decided he could get value out of him, I would trust his judgement,

He has turned a few average looking fowards into bloody good ones before ,

but I would be surprised if he is a priority.
