[Cronk7]

Pity both of them couldn't be retained.From what I read earlier,Newton sounded like he really fitted in well in the short time he was there.

[Super Cronk]

You can add:

Out: Anthony Perkins (Cowboys), Matt Rua (Retired), Joel Thompson (Raiders),
In: Justin O'Neill (already signed by the Storm but agreed to new 2 year contract - one to watch), Sinbad Kali (Central Coast), Aidan Guerra (Norths), 9 Vic players (someone stated that this included Russell Webster, Drury Low, Gareth Widdop, Cameron Micallef, Josh Millgate, Jarrod Stack, Adam Leslie but I have seen these names confirmed).
Unsure: Pale Ale, Ben Matterson, Scott Anderson, Ryan Shortland (not sure where he is going but I'm 99.9% sure they featured him in the visual tribute to those players leaving the Storm after the Parramatta game).
Signed: Folou and Lima are both signed for next year.  I believe that Manu has already signed or will be if not already completed. 
 

thanks for those Bootsie.

[MENACING*STORM]

Thanks for all the info.  I'm really looking forward to the 2008 Storm Family Day and seeing all our new signings

Also can one of the mods merge the "Signings" and "Team for 2008" threads together?  Cheers

PS I'm not being a Forum Cop    I'm just a lazy bugger to read the two threads 

[Thunderstruck]

merging threads isn't pretty.

Not a problem TS - I'll find that extra ounce of energy to click the extra mouse button

Garret crossman has also signed with Hull KR.

[Mrs Cooper Cronk]

I didnt know Matty Rua had retired!! Man that sux!! He didnt even really play this year and after all the work he put in to get back!! Oh well!!!

[nacho]

[Mrs Cooper Cronk]

Is he?? What will he be doing does anyone know??

When did Crossman sign with hull?? Last I knew he hadnt made up his mind - or the club hadnt decided if they could keep him yet?

he signed with hull kr the other day.

IIRC Rua played 1 game for us this year, spent most of his time with the devils (?). He has only retired after this season i take it.

[Mrs Cooper Cronk]

Thats a shame that Crossman has gone too. I wish all th boys who have left us this year good luck, but I wish they all had of been able to orwanted to stay!!!

Glad that Rua is staying on. Hopefully he will help our boys learn the way of his hard hitting - its only going to make the other teams hate us more!!!

I love it!!

[Marcus Bai]

Rua didn't deliver unfortunalety he can still hit big but his runs lacked impact, and even befroe he left for Canberra that last season when he played for us he didn't play very well. He was awesome in 99 tho.

He was one of my favs so maybe i'm being a bit harsh but best of luck to him, great to hear he is styaing with us in some way

[OzHEDude]

I heard tonight from a very rich man that is buying the company i work for that one of the McDougall brothers are coming back from the UK and he's joined us. He said he probably shouldn't have told me, but he is friends with the boys.
