Brian Norrie has retired effective immediately.

Sad he had to finish because of injury, and will probably not get the recognition he deserves as it is after the season has finished. His contributions a few years ago were significant and I will remember him for those more so than this year. Would like to see him stay at the Storm in some capacity as he would be a big help with our younger forwards.

Looking a little more likely that Kaufusi may be coming

Could be why Glasby stayed?

I get the feeling Glasby made up his mind that he was staying some time ago while Norrie only recently made the decision (after consulting some medical experts) which would make sense as otherwise they would've got him to walk through the guard of honour etc.

So Kaufusi to the Storm is definitely more likely now.

RLW Mole just replied to Sally after she asked for info on Kafausi - his reply... "coming home..."

Bromwich, McLean, TLL & Kafausi - that's a forward pack I could get use too.

Can we release Trav Robinson? Seems to be the forgotten man.

Who knows. Can barely even remember him being either the 18th or 19th man.

He was going to play v nq but 2nd tier issue scuppered that plan.

I have another couple of thoughts on that surprise debut mentioned earlier - Francis Tualau or Charnze Nicoll Klokstad

I got a twitter update on my phone today about another Fijian winger playing reserve grade for Storm then it quickly dissapeared when I went in to look at it. Very odd. Maybe talking about Vunivalu

I heard a rumour it's Willie Mason and I hope that's wrong because he would be a waste of space.

Bula...last night there was a random Fijian guy hanging out with Suli Sisa and Marika on their players table no one knew who he was and he left early...wonder if that was the Fijian you read about
