Poms are soft ??? the Fowards dominate the Aus Forwards its all the back line in Australia that kill England.England will never help themselves in the 6&7 position because they always get some 2nd rate or end of the road Aussie in them positions.

He`s not a prop but I wonder how The Eagle thinks "Beaver" would look in a Storm jersey.... maybe we could convince him to come back for next year :lol: :lol:
Was i just trolled? :O
The article says he feels like he can do another super league,not another NRL season
Poms are so soft and the competition second rate,Even Bourbon would have to agree
the ESL doesnt cut it against the NRL,Pad that retirement fund old chap,see you home
in a few years as Prime Minister for Labour in the warringah seat

Burgess himself wanted the competition of the NRL which to me says ESL is to *LIMA LIMA LIMA DUCK!*ing soft
Just having a giggle Eagle.... no trolling intended :D

Not the greatest list but I wouldn't mind
Lopini Paea, Pritchard and Tagataese.

Greg Waddell? Suppose to be the next Inglis, surely he can't be off contract.

He sure is off contract. Panthers havent tabled an offer so I believe. Their waiting for Pritchard first.

Garret Crossman,  was handy for us when he was here 3 years ago, seems to be in reasonable form and I can't imagine he'd be that expensive.  Worth approaching for next year to bolster our front row stocks?

I think it's the officiating of the game & interpretation,(quick play the ball & 20 second tackle counts) that is killing teams like Bradford that built their rep on the brutality of their engine room. Plenty of heavy hitters still in ESL that could benefit from a season or two in the Storm system.The question is - Would they forgo the money they could make for a chance to enhance their craft ?

Would be great to have the likes of James Graham or Ben Westwood over at the Storm ,but its down to money.I dont believe that Sam Burgess has come on the figure that was stated.On the subject on Bradford its F**CKING Brill to see them where they are with their plastic supporters.

from what i have seen of brendan oake this year i am happy with, i dont think he would look out of place in a storm jersey and im sure he would be on a salary we could afford. id also like to see lopini paea too.  good solid player..    also tagatese and john mannah............ 

frank pritchard is a great player but is on way too much money for us........ i would rather buy 3 or 4 solid players than a star player and an unknown... but thats just me......

I just heard watching Ch9s' ESl coverage that Mitchell Sargent is heading back to Australia at seasons' end. Anyone know where he might be headed? Is he worth a look for the Storm?

No one appears to have put their hand up to sign him,(or if they have it's low key) & he appears to have kept his nose clean,(sorry couldn't help myself  :P ).He's covered a bit of ground since leaving Storm but if he's still un-injured the blonde bomber would be good pick up.
