Matt Duffie stays put to rebuild Storm...YEEEEH !

[Storm Spirit]

Obviously a young man of the highest integrity.  Proud to see him wear the Storm jersey. Let's hope he has some impact on Justin O'Neill's short term career decision.

Must say it increasingly looks like the older crew of Lima, Quinny, Finchy, MacDougall, and to a lesser extent Whitey and Hoffy are going to be the ones who face the acid test in coming months. Also if Adam Blair wants to jump ship but that means we retain Sika Manu....it will be very tough...but possibly for the best.

If Storm are serious about their LONG term future as a power house club...IMHO they will need to made a tough decision on players in the 27 yo + category who are being squeezed by the younger guys (obviously not Cam or Bill who are 27).

[Michael :P]

Well, he cant leave now he's gotten a young Melbourne girl pregnant.

Well done to that young lady too, obviously a dedicted Strom supporter who's sacrificed herself for the greater good  .

So that's why he did that post try celebration!

No sure, just mucking around.

Like I said in another post though, Bellamy should have a word to him if he was just showboating.

Or a tribute to Widdop??

Did Duffie re-sign or extend his contract or something? I cant see anywhere where it says he has.

[steaming stormer]

article in todays paper saying he plans on staying to help re-build

[I love Cooper]

Yay I love the Duff even more now!!!

[Super Cronk]

Awesome. Good player who with more full-time training and pre-seasons under his belt will become one of our best wingers IMO.

Guys like him Widdop & O'Neill on the other wing are the future of this club. It is important we keep them and sign them up NOW before they start blitzing it & asking for a bigger slice of the pie.

I thought that try celebration was him acting as though he was "Up the DUFF"!!!!

[sallymay]

haha thats what my friend said


the ball "gone up the Duff"

[1999]

1. Widdop
2. Duffie
3. Slater
4. Inglis
5. O'Neill
6. Finch
7. Cronk


Would'nt whinge about that backline next year, seriously guys we need to play widdop..

i dont think slater would be too bad a centre personally, with his speed and footwork and ability to promote the footy.. plus imagine the trick shots with cronk abit wider out.

I'm sure we would if we were allowed to sign anyone  It needs to be sorted out so we can move on

Next season id move Duffie into centre. Widdop on the wing, and keep the greatest fullback of all time
at fullback.
