I was thinking the same thing when I read the comment.

I like Drinkwater and didn’t want him to leave. But what position at Storm ? Not full back. Maybe Centre ? Unless the Club seriously expects Munny to leave in 2023…then 6 opens up. Can’t see him coming back to Storm personally.

I'm hearing Drinkwater to knights with the exit of Pearce. Given he's a Terrigal lad, it'd make sense. I wouldn't say no to him coming back to Melbourne though.

I was hoping for hamiso, but he's locked up til the end of 23

Widdop is too old to be worth bringing in on the coin he'd want

Apparently we're in talks with a New Zealand rugby player called Will Warbrick, a six four all black. Allegedly a JAC replacement. If they secure him and still have Coates and Meaney, then surely Jennings is on shaky ground?

Wing ? The protype of the future. 194cm 100kg. Holy shit. If he picks up League quickly….he could be devastating. Imagine Reimis, juzzy, Xav and this bloke in the backline 😳😳. I suspect Meaney might play the Nicho bench role. Mr Fixxit.

If we get Warbrick all of a sudden we have game breakers on both wings. Wow. We would be spoilt once again with attacking beasts, although this time we are not only limited to left edge attack, our right edge would be diabolical

Not sure he's after that much coin.
From what I've read, after going "home" to the UK, it seems that he and the family were desperate to come back to Oz. He grew up from 14 or 15 in Melbourne so it might be a thing.
I certainly wouldn't say no to Drinkwater, after his time up north I think he knows which side his bread is buttered.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
