Tells me Todd Carney will end up at the Storm!
Widdop pushed to centre and Blair possibly as a bench utility.

This guy cant get his act togather and I think Melbourne would be perfect!

no way will storm look at getting anyone of that calibre anytime soon! there is already enough doubters about the salary cap still, that will send everyone into a frenzy!

and the youngens coming through will do a great job when they are given their chance

though 1,6,7,9 combo of slater carney cronk and smith would be devastating and possibly the best spine of any team ever!

Melbourne Storm's not a rehab centre.
It's true that we've re-invigorated a lot of careers, but that has been through our team's needs and coaching staff's vision. And guys like Howe, Crocker, Finch, Newton, King, Woolnough and Norrie have only succeeded through their ability to embrace the Storm's culture and to work really hard.
I'm not sure if Todd's able to do that?? And I doubt whether the club would risk ruining that culture on one player.
Personally I hope we go nowhere near him. Some people are like poison. I'll compare the situation to Peter 'Spider' Everett's move to Hawthorn in the AFL. His presence over about 5yrs disrupted a very strong culture of greatness at that club, which then took about another 10yrs to restore. Brendon Fevola is another. Whatever he touches turns to shit

Widdop has developed into a really good 5/8th in only his first year in the position, better than GI ever was at 5/8th and he won a Churchill medal!!! I'd rather Widdop than Carney any day.

It`s funny Bula but when I read that article about Carney I had much the same feeling but I really hope we don`t. To displace Widdop or Blair for Carney would be a mistake and very unfair to these guys who have busted their butts and worked hard to earn their spots. I`d rather see what money we have to spend going towards making sure Cooper is locked away long term and a couple of forwards :)

Didn't Bellamy come out recently and say something about only recruiting blokes who fit the storm culture. And carney would definitely not fit
