I don't think Slade is doing bad enough to be dropped, but I'd love to see his bench spot go to Joe Stimson who I think is as solid a defender and offers a bit more in attack. Perhaps CB is reluctant to mess with the lineups this close to the GF though which would be fair enough. I guess if it aint broke don't fix it...

Ohhh I'm so disappointed ...I don't care what any of you say I love Slade (I agree he is slow though) I'll miss seeing him at the club

As a big fan of Slade, I think this is great news for the Falcons.

I spoke to Slade today he said it was more then likely he would stay...he hasn't signed anywhere else yet

Blazza on suicide watch

I dont mind him staying but wouldn't it be a better playing opportunity at Newcastle?
If B.Smith is left in reserve grade next year I'm not confident we'll keep him.

Exactly my concern also. B Smith fit and firing has to fill that bench utility spot. He has to... Not just through fear of losing him. He offers that true spark you typically want from a bench utility.

No way Brandon Smith will be left in reserve grade. Won't happen.

Not sure I understand the logic from either side. Our best player plays the position and we've just given his successor a long term deal. But we also want to keep the other guy around? You'd think Griffin would want a better chance at playing regular first grade for longer.

Yep this. Let's not forget that B. Smith has very recently re-signed until the end of 2022 (with a contract he signed before there being any talk of Griffin leaving) so I think it's fair to say there's no way in hell that Smith is going anywhere

Dave Taylor signed with Toronto Wolfpack...so not coming to Storm.

We all expect an invite to the celebration party Blazza...

According to the Courier Mail, Billy Walters set to sign with the 2017 premiers. I don't know a lot about him so is this a good pickup?

Was good for Easts this year. Solid depth signing.
