Official thread and signing news

[STORM MAN]

Wow
If true that would be awesome sallymay to snare Teo.
I think he is playing some great footy these days.

[Mattpoet]

and how do you know that sallymay? have you extended your operations to stalking potential players as well as the current squad now lol?

as for what scooter said re: the season guide, that's exactly what i said in a different thread. i can only think that if it is wrong then maybe it was an educated guess on the part of big league.

Lol can I start a possible rumour....Ben Teo is here in Melbourne this weekend ... Maybe just maybe the QLD boys have talked him in to signing with the storm or at least having a look around the facilities


Or maybe he will sign with the rebels

Lol or maybe I'm just getting my hopes up

I'd love Teo signing with us.

[yourhero]

Would be a great signing... but you would think that he would command a decent wage which we likely cannot afford. I threw his name up before we re-signed KP on big money. We lose Hoffman sure, but a bunch of guys who recently re-signed would take up any savings there (Jesse, Tohu, Kev).

[Ice]

Teo will definitely command a decent wage but with the salary cap increases in each of the next few seasons it maybe possible. Besides Hoffy's money we also would've saved a bit on Widdop and given we haven't really replaced anyone in that position who'd be on anything like that sort of coin then who knows if that money has been distributed yet elsewhere or not.

As an example i don't read too much into things like if we can't afford to keep Hampton then we have no money for anyone else. I think it might be more a case of the club only paying him what they think he's worth and not wanting to pay what others are prepared to which doesn't necessarily mean there's no money to spend on others.

As for any other players we're losing/letting go i'm sure the club has a plan in place to replace them and is working on it. There's still over a couple months left in this season and also the off season to boost the squad so there's plenty of time to do so. Whether it be Teo or someone else i have a feeling that we're going to pull off a real decent signing for next season.

Gutted in tears and sad

[bula]

Wow I'm shocked! Didn't see this coming.

[sallymay]

Sisa Waqa in a straight swap with Reece Robinson Canberra to Melbourne

Gutted in tears and sad

I don't see this part mentioned officially anywhere... is there a link?

[nacho]

Wow! never realised Sisa was so old either. Approaching 30 and being somewhat inconsistent inform - Im not overly depressed hes going but hes a good character to have and can do some exciting stuff.

I just hope Makira can continue this for us as hes the 8 year younger replacement!

As president of SWAS I am unsure of the future of our group.

[glennb]

We in the news about Robinson coming to Storm? Also that is 6 players that have left, (7 if you count Rose) and we have signed one. Are we going to have enough players next year?

[absentee]

Very disappointed that Sisa is leaving especially since he has such a cult following.

Perhaps Koro-mania will be running wild in 2015.

[sallymay]

Hasn't come out yet but apparently Reece want to be with his brother

[Storm Spirit]

Hasn't come out yet but apparently Reece want to be with his brother
