Disappointing for Dan & Tyson.

Obviously the club rates Cooper Johns, Jonah Pezet, Jayden Nikorima & Tyran Wishart.

Wishart a hooker, yea? Pretty low on those now. Someone random will even be the round 1 starter next season.

I was pretty shocked by Atkinson and Smoothy leaving given both debuted in first grade with the Storm this year.

Thought Atkinson might have been a long-term project given how young he is.

I'm fascinated that Schonig is not in the released players but not re-signed!

Yep and Garlick apparently can play hooker as well. Wonder if the club will give Nikorima a go in the trials as well.

Its almost like the club forgot Schonig existed.

Would be somewhat ironic if Nikorima made his debut because Brandon was suspended for "a drug related" incident.

Has Nikorima even signed on with Storm ?

Lots of articles saying he will......but nothing from the Club that I can see.

Honestly I knew about all of them execpt Dan …I’m just sad

It’s honestly reminding me so much of 05-09 when all we did every year was say goodbye to all the younger players cause we had to keep the big 6 (Johnson cronk Slater Hoffman Inglis smith) then suddenly the big 5 then 4 then 3 while only having Ressies underneath those guys apart from Finch and Crocker now it feels like history repeating with our new big 6 (grant Smith paps hughes Welch Munster) again …I just hope history doesn’t repeat

Jayden has 100% signed …his management showed photos signing the contract

I think we are better off than 05-09. The talent depth appears to be spread slightly deeper. Good news about Nikorima but weird there’s no announcement by Storm about it.
