Would also be happy with Allgood. Young, hard at it and would definitely thrive in our system i think.

Yeah, to be honest i'm not overly upset at 'missing' out on big Fus. While he was ok for us he's been pretty average since but that's only my opinion. That said coming back Bellyache may have got more out of him though we'll never know. I'm happy to wait a bit longer to see who the club sign in regards to a big man, i'm pretty confident it'll be a better one but only time will tell.

Still hoping we keep a roster spot open and just give one of the younger forward prospects a chance.

Do we normally sign these many players with no NRL experience?

Now I know this isnt signing news exactly but I feel like we should do everything we can to get on the Welch bandwagon and keep him long term. Ive listened to him speak in a press conference with Britt and also the preseason montage posted on the storm website. He speaks with such confidence and purpose and you can tell he is an intelligent man. Idolises Hoffy and I get the feeling he may be able to fill his shoes as a clubman.

seems a natural leader too, always lead from the front as u20s captain

early call there sallymay, would be the first player to captain both the nyc and fg sides if it happened.

Unfortunately Michael Koko has suffered a serious shoulder injury and requires surgery.
