oh yeah......a SHITLOAD of coin which will be 80% impressive in terms of signings compared to the LEGENDS they are replacing.Ice wrote:blazza18 wrote:
Cronk leaves at the end of 2016, Slater end of 2017 and Smith 2018. Just like how Bellamy envisioned it in a recent article.
Makes a lot of sense and the best possible scenario when it comes to the big 3 leaving. Again while it's going to be very tough seeing them finish up which is inevitable, on the bright side we'll have a shitload of coin to replace them.
Time moves on....end of an era...a legendary era...but time and tide waits for no man......

I know there's absolutely no replacing the blokes that are leaving but the reality is and as i said you have to look at the positive at the very least we're in a good position in that we'll have a heap of money and have the best possible chance to try and minimise the loss at least as possible. Cameron Munster is a very good start i reckon...

Nah Ice...I agree with you...it is an opportunity.Ice wrote:I know there's absolutely no replacing the blokes that are leaving but the reality is and as i said you have to look at the positive at the very least we're in a good position in that we'll have a heap of money and have the best possible chance to try and minimise the loss at least as possible.

i was being POSITIVE to your comment..
We can NEVER replace Cam. Bill and Coops but 80% replacement is reality.
Across the whole park we will have a better mix in some ways.
either way...it is REALITY ..the time will come when my whole life in terms of Storm legends is replaced and we just have to cope.

Daily Crapagraph reporting Cooper is in deep negotiations with Dragqueens for 2017....

If Coops does leave...well I suppose we should all feel eternally grateful that Storm managed to keep Cam, Bill and Cooper together for as long as they did...

Unfortunately quality, even promising halfbacks are rare these days. In our current squad, halfback is the position we are least likely to be able to fill with a quality replacement.
I'd love Cronk to stay but won't begrudge him for leaving. We have been very lucky to have him.

I'm not so sure. Yes, quality halves aren't as easy to find as other positions but money speaks all languages and no doubt we'll have plenty of it to throw around for a replacement you'd think should the club decide to go down that route. The good thing about it is you'd think that Coops is the sort of bloke to be totally upfront with the club if he's made up his mind to go so it'll give us plenty of time to find a replacement.yourhero wrote:Unfortunately quality, even promising halfbacks are rare these days.

What's the latest Cronk rumours, is he going to stay with Storm, move to NRL Sydney club or play in SL?
