what makes you think money is important to brandon?..he took less to join storm than cowboys offered ,what he wants is to play hooker and the two hookers one team doesnt work for him...harry cant play any other position so brandons looking at clubs that want a full time hooker ,the same as dale wanted more money and nicho wanted to start...brandon cops some unfair crap on storm fan pages from some areas..loyal...jeez he sat on bench 4 years behind the goat and got on with it..

I thought he already conceded that he's not an effective 80-minute hooker - his style of play just doesn't suit that role, and he's a lot less effective when he has to play extended minutes, so the Storm role actually gets the best out of him.

Because if it wasn't, he would have already put pen to paper on a deal at the Storm.

why hes the daly m hooker...why would he want to share the role,be interesting to see how grant goes on his own ,his efforts when on his own havent been stellar...storm need a single hooker and brandon i feel sees that and is happy to test the waters...he covers 3 positions so he will be very attractive.

Bugger now it is for me too

Gist of the story

A guy called Bucho from Townsville blackhawks has signed a train and trail contract …has been told he will possibly sign a top 30 contract if he gets though the IDQ camp and Geelong training

He is a centre the size of Mika Sivo catch is the last 3 season he has played about 8/9 games due to injuries but Storm coaches saw him play the last few rounds of the season and we’re impressed

Storm offered a train and trial he wanted to take it immediately but decided to talk to friends and family first who encouraged him it was a good idea. He also spoke to Ex Storm boys Patrick Kaufusi and Shaun Nona who said it was the hardest most rewarding time of their lives

Once he took the contract he will move to Melbourne start training nov 4 he will move from the blackhawks to Brisbane Tigers

Sounds like another good redemption story. Might not be the last player signed from NQ either ;)
