To sum it up: Slater will sign on until the end of 2017 and use the Nines to get back to full health.

Or he will sign on to play until end of 2017 and get injured during the nines and miss large chunk of 2016.

Slater to do a Locky and play at 5/8?

With Green there? Slater is about as much of a chance of playing pivot as I am of banging a Playboy bunny!

We've been getting the "it's close to done" talk for the past few months. There must be a lot of clauses in the contract.

The Herald Sun is reporting that it will be a one year deal with an option (probably in the club's favour) for 2017. I can live with that.

Slater wearing an Auckland 9's shirt instead of a Storm shirt at today's launch. Whatever that means...

[Mattpoet]

It means he'll be the face of the tournament.

I can't wait to see Billy at the Nines.
I'm a Storm fan but I can handle not winning the premiership. Having Maori in-laws and the crap I've had to cop over the years has made me use to crap and 40-0 makes me think nothing matters except for Finals Footy.

Now official.
