It is so good we are loosing all these players. Who is going to play next year? After origin time we will not even have 25 players, because Slater only cares about being fit for that.

Disappointed to see Mahe Fonua leaving especially given he is first Victorian to play for the Storm and also first Victorian to play 50 games. Hopefully he may come back after his three years at Hull FC.

I think they delayed the official announcement until Mahe played his 50th. Well done champ and all the best.

Sad to see him go. Hoping he'll be back after killing it in the UK. Best wishes to him.
