2013 Official Thread + Signing news

[1999]

I just personally don't rate him, plus your forgetting along with Fonua that Blair is also here for 2013. A'uvua and Kennar look the goods in the 20's also, we do have depth to call on if Will or Justin go down.

[Michael :P]

Id rather go inhouse for depth, especailly not someone who will cost what Sau would. Would like to see Duffie start being used as a back-up center and Kennar will be a star, sooner rather then later.

Jaiman Lowe is retiring at the end of the season.

I'd love Harrison here. Was a good player a few years ago but obviously has had a rough patch with the coach. Don't want anything to do with Monaghan.

[storm boy !]

I think under bellamy he could do well.. ?

I think there won't be too many recruits made for 2013 (apart from a few ageing forwards, like Bellyache has done for a number of years now). We have so many young players in the U20s to choose and if we don't they will just be wasted. It worked in 2010 when Duffie, O'Neill, Widdop and J. Bromwich all making their debut, so I reckon there might be a lot of debuts next year for the Storm.

An updated line-up for 2013:

1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Duffie
3. Justin O'Neill
4. Will Chambers
5. Mahe Fonua (debut)
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cam Smith (C)
10. Jason Ryles
11. Kevin Proctor
12. Ryan Hoffman
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe

14. Ben Hampton (debut)
15. Bryan Norrie
16. Siosaia Vave
17. Kenny Bromwich (debut)

Players departing/Possible departures at the end of this season:
Dane Nielsen (Warriors)
Sika Manu (Panthers)
Rory Kostjasyn (Cowboys)
Richie Fa'aoso (Sea Eagles)
Jaiman Lowe (Retiring)
Anthony Quinn ??
Todd Lowrie ??
Maurice Blair ?? (I don't know if he's signed for next year)

[storm boy !]

Not sure where this board's obsession with Ben Hampton comes from. King of the missed tackle.
