I'll take Cayless, Perry and Phelps.

But I'd rather Kearns, Bell and Orford.

A couple of young backs that might be worth looking at are Luke MacDougall and Brenton Bowen. Both incidentally are lesser known brothers of other players. I reckon they could be handy additions to our backline with Geyer's career winding down, and others playing a fair bit of rep football. Bowen in particular would be good as it is a tough gig to get a backline spot with the Cowboys and if he is even half as good as his bro, then it would be a massive win for us.

MacDougall I'm not as sure about. He is a standout back in a poor side, so who knows.

then we could make this massive team where we'd have like 50 replacments for each position :) hehehehehe
LOL right, but this isn't the English Premier League and even if it was the Storm certainly isn't Chelsea so I was wondering where might the Storm find an accountant creative enough to squeeze all those players under the salary cap?

There is a team like that. The Sydney Roosters.

I think the Storm should get a winger and a halfback or five eighth both on the fringe of first grade. But they must be from NSW. I'd be happy with Nathan Merritt and Terry Campese.

Daniel Fitzhenry from Wests.
Very under-rated player, with a great kicking game and can play almost anywhere apart from prop.

Well yes if the NRL had a Chelsea it would be the Roosters, the Storm would be more a Wigan perhaps? But only on account of the fact it is probably the only EPL team where that code of football is not number 1 in town, because I can't see them having nearly as much success as the Storm did in their first season.

oh dear... Melbourne Storm = Wigan Athletic... that'll do me!

If only we had the JJB Stadium transported to Swan Street... that'd be sweet!

Maybe it's time to do the EPL = NRL list again Christabella... haven't done that one for a few years :lol:

Yeah lets get him. He does seem like a good player and my mum has a crush on him :)
He's apparently got a really lame sense of humour too...although i don't know what thats got to do with how he plays his footy :roll:

I've just read about a player who is off contract this year, and is EXACTLY what we need. Paleaseena (spelling) from the Warriors. A tough, hard running forward who would provide brilliant punch off the bench. Chase this bloke hard!!

Exactly what we need. An impact player who can provide great go forward off the bench.
