Dammit...would have loved him to stay to see Bellyache get the best out him.

Maybe he wanted too much coin.

Or maybe Craig wasn't too upset to see him leave.

And here's the official line....

"Melbourne said salary cap pressure meant they were unable to re-sign Setu and also confirmed Junior Sau's departure to Super League club Salford at the end of the year.

"It was the club's and both Junior and Lagi's preference to remain with Melbourne Storm, however due to salary cap constraints and other circumstances we were unable to offer them a position on our playing roster for 2014," Storm football manager Frank Ponissi said."

Just a rumour. Apparently Kris Keating has signed with us.

Yuck.

Adam Hawse originally.

This would be such a meh signing that to me anyway, doesn't make much sense.

Unless it's for the rest of the season as cover now that Widdop's gone down, I don't understand it either

If Craig has chosen him and he's wearing a purple jersey...he'll get my unswerving support and loyalty.

Remember boys and girls...we are from Melbourne and we Members and supporters have class.

We are Melbourne Storm.......not some rabble from NSW, Canberra or Qld....

Exactly.
No disrespect, but this comment and others like it would assume that you know more than Craig Bellamy, Kevin Walters, David Kidwell and Frank Ponissi.

I know where my money is....

How about we wait to 1). see if it's confirmed and 2). what's the context of the signing in relation to other players.

As fans we're allowed to voice our opinons on our team. We don't have to fall in love with everything the club does.

I don't like Keating. My opinon won't change whether Bellamy and co do. Now that doesn't mean I don't trust the decisions the club makes either. This rumoured acquisition is just odd.
