These would all be handy players to replace these players should they leave and Bellyache would turn their careers around like he has with the veteran forwards he has recruited.
WTF...?
Don't get me wrong, these players may be getting on in age, but the veterans like the ones I mentioned above under Bellyache would be excellent. They are most likely going to get shafted from their clubs soon and if recruited by the Storm, they would end up finishing their careers on a high note, Bellyache would get every little bit out of what they have left to offer and they would have the chance to win a premiership and enjoy the Storm's first class culture. They can't do that if they are recruited by other NSW or QLD clubs.

Also, we also don't need any more forwards, the main squad and the U20s are overflowing with them, so recruiting old outside backs to replace ones most likely to leave the Storm at the end of the year and have Bellyache have them play like 20-25 year olds would be a masterstroke. They would also come with a pretty cheap price as well.
I'd rather chuck Fonua, Solomona, or another U20 player in the deep end than resort to those sort of players. We might lose one, or at worst 2, out of Blair, O'Neill, Nielsen, Waqa and Quinn... but we won't lose all of them! There will be plenty left over to accompany Slater, Chambers and Duffie in the backs.

Would love to see Taylor and Rose in our jersey. I also think Ben Te`o could be a good addition. Does anyone know if Lagi Setu has been picked up yet?

I have a few that I wouldn't mind seeing in purple. Sam Kasiano is off contract at the end of this season and he is just a wrecking ball. George Rose would defintley be a good pick up if we were able to get his signature, he is playing in NSW Cup so he will be keen to leave Many. Don't think we need to buy any backs.

yes! Sam kasiano is a wrecking ball. Takes 3-4 men to get him down, would love to see the big fella in a purple jersey.

Would Craigs style let him play the same way though. Bromwich has those skills after-all.

What about Martin Taupau, 23 years old age playing in the NSW Cup, he's a future Kiwis captain no doubt about it and doesn't seem to be able to get any game time at the Bulldogs due to having Tolman, Graham and Kasiano in front of him. He's off contract too, I hope that Bellyache atleast has a play at him.
