I know our forward stocks are starting to look good but I still think we`d be mad not to sign him. I think he fits in well with guys that we have and he is always hungry and looking for work when he gets the opportunity. Hopefully CB will keep him here

Kirisome Auva'a, Maurice Blair, Brett Finch, Mitch Garbutt, Matt McGahan, Bryan Norrie, Junior Sa'u, Lagi Setu, Denny Solomona, Young Tonumaipea, Siosaia Vave, Dayne Weston.

The above players are yet to secure their future at the Storm past this year.

Denny Solomona has re-signed for next year, he was asked at the post match function by a fellow supporter and told them the club had kept him for next year.

If that is the case then I can only assume that the club will soon announce another 3 or 4 resignings as a group with Solomona amongst them.

I wonder what players off contract at other clubs we're looking atm. Need an experienced front rower and maybe a couple of outside backs.

Looking here - http://www.zerotackle.com/nrl/rugby-lea ... tion-2013/

There really is no one that stands out to me. Frank-Paul Nuuausala would be an interesting signing. Also Tim Lafai has been alright for the dogs feeling in at centre.

Guess I'll just keep faith in the recruitment guys. They seem to know what they're doing the last few years.

You would have to think that we would be focussing on the players we have over bringing guys in as I really don't see anyone on the off contract list that makes me go 'get rid of him'

Junior Sa'u off to Salford whilst Setu will join Canberra in 2014.

To be honest I get the feeling Bellyache wasn't too fond of either's attitude, particular Junior's.

We must be heavily invested in our own youth. Not too upset with Sa'u leaving us.

Handy back ups, weren't setting the world alight, would not have been upset if we'd kept them, not upset with them going, good depth players that is all.
