STORM CONTRACTED PLAYERS

[glennb]

Last week I was texted a rumor that George Rose from Manly manager was talking to Storm. Anyone else heard this one?

[mattystorm1987]

no, manly have made him a offer and he wants to stay so he will resign.. we should have tim browne from dogs signed up soon, still in talks with joe picker as well but unless he drops his price i cant see him coming here either..

[blazza18]

We targeting any experience props Matty ? Would seem the spot are vacant since Norrie and Ryles are both possibly moving on.

[mattystorm1987]

not that i no of.. hopefully we can keep norrie but i doubt it..

[mattystorm1987]

well big george rose knocked back manlys offer, and we can scrap big george or tim browne joining us bellamy is not interested for some stupid reason.. vave n garbutt tipped to move on aswell as norrie n mcgahan cos of cap pressure.. FU&K ME WE CANT LOSE EVERYONE WTF IS GOING ON!!!

Matt lodge and pride petterson robati get ready cos were gunna need ya..

[sallymay]

Think kirisome is leaving too...he posted a pic on insta asking for housemates at his home...donno if that means in melb or back home in brissie

[mattystorm1987]

so who we gunna buy to replace all these players that r tipped to be leaving?? we must be bringing a few nyc players up

Perhaps we will keep Dayne Weston, otherwise there might be some NSW and Qld Cup props being signed by the Storm.

So we gain Munster and Robinson and lose;

1. Ryles
2. Blair
3. Sa'u
4. Setu
5. Widdop

For sure and potentially;

6. Norrie
7. Garbutt
8. Vave
9. Finch
10. Weston
11. McGahan
12. Auva'a
13. Tonumapea

Surely we've got some decent cash lying around!!!? We only have 21 players contracted for next year and well short of min squad requirement.

Once again we will be in the market for props. I'd imagine at least one centre as well.

weston looking to stay on.. i think out of that we will keep 9,10,12,13 but who knows.. would like to keep all them plus buy someone too.. PPR to play center??? we must be going to use harris as a prop aswell..

This is what I'm a little confused about and I fully support what Craig/Frank and the rest of our recruiters are doing but I'm a little surprised at how our roster is filling out atm. Keeping the young guys is fine but at some stage we've gotta be able to target some veterans who can help out too. Salary goes up again after this season.

I know we wont attract any big names but surely we have enough to get some quality guys in.

So based on some of the information floating around, this is what is happening with our current props:
Staying: J Bromwich, McLean and Moors
Possibly / definitely leaving: Ryles, Norrie, Setu, Vave, Garbutt and Weston.

That is a fair list of props to leave. Surely we will re-sign at least one or two of those players.

Your hero I think we will re-sign Young Tonumaipea because he has shown promise and is a VRL junior.

[Mattpoet]

I reckon Lodge, Petterson-Robati, Kennar, Welch and Umaga are chances to be upgraded to senior list next year

Agree with all except for Umaga. And I would Keep Chang over Young.

[storming]

we need to keep 2 out of vave, garbutt, weston
