It sounds like the Storm are getting sick of this dragging of the heels with Orford still to decide what he's going to do.

Great article, get on with it Orford.

From Sydney Morning Herald:
Halfback Matt Orford plans to decide whether to stay or leave before the June 30 anti-tampering deadline. Orford's agent George Mimis said up to six rival clubs were prepared to sign him on a one-year deal.
I guess the Storm aren't one of those 6 clubs. :wink:

Whichever clubs are prepared to pay big bucks for a one year contract sure have rocks in their heads. It is all about having long term plans rather than chasing short term success and having to re-train the squad to suit another half backs style of play.
Matt King rules!!!!!

Storm isn't part of the 6 clubs cuz Storm isn't a RIVAL club. :wink:

Either way it turns out, I now hope that the CC doesn't get a team in the NRL. Just to shove it up Matty Orford. After all the screwing around he has done, he doesn't deserve to have his wish come true as he has been selfish enough already.

Hopefully Kearnsy is all right for this weekend, and that Kingy can get through with Norths in his comeback match. Terrible news about Robinson....and McFadden :wink:

Great initiative targetting the AFL fans this week by the Storm - now I can get in for just $5.50!! 8)

All AFL card holders can get into Olympic Park for 10 bucks. Not bad.

I am so over this, upset and angry that this situation hasn't been cleared up earlier. I'm still thinking as to whether to go to the warriors match - yes I am a staunch storm supporter but this is really giving me the.......................

Can't build a team around a halfback who's probably going to move on in a year.

Sorry Matt, you are not worth the asking price unless you are going to stay long term as the team's focus.

Bye bye.

Gees no offence but that's harsh. After all you'll be the one missing out on a great game and for what? Personally I go to watch the "team" no matter what's going on with one particular player. Don't get me wrong, it's pissing me off too but you've gotta look at the bigger picture here :wink:

I know it p*&%#@ me off so I wonder if the noise of that f*&^%@#* bell and the chanting that goes on when he is lining up for a goal has played on Ox's mind.

I say keep him at all costs, remember the club lied to him about the 'great' facilities we would have down here and he is still working out of a tin shed and public toilet
