Well Jack Campagnolo won’t be cause he is overseas playing now

If we’re giving a jersey to anyone I’d give it to Jake Toby or Caius even Ben stephanovic from the bears

I've seen it said somewhere that we have 2 roster spots available, I'm assuming we now want a half and a middle forward. Anyone got any idea who we're looking at?

Treigh Stewart appeared to have some potential in preseason matches....is there any thought he could fill a centre position or is he really only pegged as yet another FB ?

and apart from $$$$$...is there any reason Storm wouldn't be into Blaize Talagi to play Centre ?

Apparently he's announced that's a preferred position (if you believe NRL 360...which I don't).

Aaron was being shopped around a month ago about 2 weeks ago Leigh said they were planning to sign him …am i surprised no am I upset yes more upset that’s it’s immediately hopefully he has to wait for a visa and comes to our next home game but that’s unlikely

Good luck to Aaron hope he gets to play good footy and travel heaps

We didn't give him much of a go. Never let us down, was always more than solid when called upon.

Hopefully opens up a FG spot for a younger forward maybe?

Feel for someone in Pene's position. He probably thought he'd get more opportunities when he returned here.

We have 2024 left - who can we sign mid season to fill the team. My thoughts are we need another back. Knowing the Storm they already have a player in mind for a mid season (switch / swap) from the bottom 4 clubs. Given the prior deals with the Tigers, maybe someone from them.
