The Mole has reported Finucane’s apparently going to stay with the Storm.
His manager’s quoted saying he’s happy in Melbourne and prepared to chose staying over taking a larger deal elsewhere.
Stoked if it’s completely true. I think he’s really important and has been fantastic this season since returning from injury.

Ok I bash the lack of leadership on the field but if it's true he's knocking back big money then that's a true captain leading by exampleriders of the storm wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 12:15 pm The Mole has reported Finucane’s apparently going to stay with the Storm.

Fox Footy confirming other recent reports that we are keen to sign Nick Meaney from Dogs as a replacement for Hynes. Apparently Craig has met with him.
Would be a good move. With Paps still uncertain as to return date from concussion , and the concern about what another concussion would mean for his future, we need a solid backup . Meaney can also play wing and centre and kick goals. I am not saying he is a star, but he is still only 23, and with our salary cap restrictions he would be a sensible option.

Meaney's a decent player.
Would be even better in a system like Storm's.
Possibly an equal replacement for Hynes if not a slight upgrade on Hynes with his speed.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

You didn’t read my post did you Lucas...I said upgrade in Hynes in terms of speed. Leg speed. Meaney easily has him covered in that area. And there’s no doubt Nicho has shown some defensive issues in terms of less than sheer desperation to stop tries on occasion. I’d be very happy with Meaney playing Nicho’s utility role in the team. Sound like Craig might as well.Lucas wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 9:02 pmUpgrade on Hynes.

I did read it. Yes, he might be quicker. But an upgrade on Hynes, that does not make.Storm Spirit wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 11:37 pmYou didn’t read my post did you Lucas...I said upgrade in Hynes in terms of speed. Leg speed.
