I guess you could say that we haven't signed a lot of 'stars'. They have either been guys with potential or guys that no one else wanted & couldn't crack a regular spot elsewhere. Kearney was a good one though, he was one out of the box in that Magpies U21s' that won the premiership that year. And Noddy was becoming one, he was hot property in lower grades because of a certain A. Johns...

Tawera Nikau's son is playing SG ball this year. He's a good prospect.

I'm not sure about Kidwell being a big signing as he struggled to find a club.
Michael Jennings was chased by the club not long before he played first grade, if you remember John
Lang left the club.
Moi Moi's manager actually forged his signature didn't he? We thought we'd signed him but wasn't to be I guess .

I can't wait for the list to be released.

Steve Bell wasn't a star when we picked him up. He made his NRL debut for the Storm v Bulldogs in 2001 at Colonial (aka Telstra Dome and now Etihad).

Eagle sounds like you are mentioning the stars you have signed from us Bell, Kimmorley and Orford  :lol:

Clint Newton and Finch(GF's and SOO's) are Stars imo.

But they don't fit what I consider the criteria for this thread due to being given a lifeline rather than be persued to change clubs.

Scooter,those 3 are the only stars at some point during theyre career i can name as ExPat melbourne players because i cant remember any others who
were playing elsewhere as stars and signed with storm,making 2010 a pretty ridiculous premiership as i cant think of a marquee player who signed for you

Crocker was never a star,more of a thug who crossed the line from mongrel(Choc,Bird,Gallen,Ennis) to absolute dog (Sandow,Farah,Webb)
