In this weeks RLW the mole is claiming that there is MASSIVE interest in Jeremy Smith from the Dragons who are interested in offering him a spot in the starting pack as opposed to coming off the bench.

Apparently Storm are prepared to release him from his remaining year of his contract (2008) if the offer from St. George is reasonable enough.

The Mole is seldom wrong in my experience but what do you think this means for the club? Possibly a contract renewal for Clint Newton, extension for Crocker of Hoffman?

If JS thinks he'll get a full season 1st string spot with the lizards good luck to him.The lizards have a nasty habit of wasting talent though.

Also didn't miss the little snippet about possible Tomane  poisoning #-o Here we go again

I really hope not, Smith has been great for us. :(

Word is that Newton will sign on for longer, so thats a possibilty, not sure about Blair  but he may come on to the bench permantely.

Oh my  :o here we go again!

As for Jeremy Smith, I'd be disappointed to see him go, although I do think one day he's going to cost us a game if he doesn't get the niggle out of his game.  He reminds me of David Kidwell of a couple of years ago.

Did anyone else watch the Titans game replay?  One of the commentators (I think it was Warren Smith) seemed to not think much of Jeremy Smith at all!

Whoops "I stuffed up"

Yeah I heard those comments about JS, and I agree to some extent and was waiting for the whistle to be blown. Hand on the head of a player on the ground.
Did anyone see the 36th minute when Donnelly stepped on JS's ankle while JS was on lying flat on the ground with 2 other titan's on top of him.
Donnelly clearly was aiming for his ankle, just look early on in the 36th minute.

On current form we need to be able to sign Clint as a priority, not a bad swap i think. The NRL site just had an article where Waldron said we cant offer clint what he is worth but he doesnt want to play for any other NRL club, so they are 'waiting to see any movements this month'...maybe this story is right?

LOL I really thought Jeremy Smith and Donnelly were going to eventually come to blows at some stage during that game.  They were annoying the shit out of each other all through the game.  :P

It was funny at the end though, post game, when they shake hands.
And see the storm players trying help Donnelly put kingy's top on.
Good to see all the former storm players (now playing for titans) mingling with the current storm after the siren.
