May before he even gets to training?The Storm has lost an international backrower in Ryan Hoffman as part of the purge of talent to get the club under the $4.2 million salary cap.
But Melbourne might not be able to match what the Eels and Tigers can offer.
Maitua cannot even train with a NRL team or use their club facilities until mid-May when his ban expires, and that could reduce his price significantly, to under $100,000. The lure of Melbourne Storm's environment -- being out of the rugby league spotlight in Sydney and working with the former assistant Test coach and NSW Origin coach Bellamy -- is strong.
We live to play, we play to win, We try and try, we won’t say die, we won’t give in

Similar to Steve Turner where he couldn't train or use any facilities.

I've read a few of your posts about this since it was mentioned via The Footy Show on Thursday night & I'm curious as to why you're so down on Reni?stormsally wrote:May before he even gets to training?The Storm has lost an international backrower in Ryan Hoffman as part of the purge of talent to get the club under the $4.2 million salary cap.

- because he's a thug on and off the field
- because he's a drug user
- because he would be a terribly bad example to our young players
- because he's not a team player
Need any more?
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
You'd think that's behind him though.

...and besides all that, and more relevant imo, he has done SFA for 5 years.
No thanks

I agree with you Eagle (lotti) I think we should not use our criminal quota on him, we should spend it on a rapist like you guys have...
So because he made a lapse in judgement it makes him the Devil of the NRL. Glad to see that society is so forgiving, & ppl wonder why the world is as screwed as it is...
I'd give the guy a 2nd chance under Bellamy because I'm sure Craig would make it well known (if others close to him havent already) that one more slip-up & he is history. Lote, Wendell & even Greg Bird have all been given another chance & made something of it (as will Stewart IF he gets fit & back on the field) so why shouldn't reni be given the same right...

Apparently Craig and Reni Maitua are reasonably close and have a healthy dose of respect for each other.
No better or stronger basis in the whole world on which to finish a career on a very high note.
