The idea behind it makes some sense but I legitimately hate these types of reports. The "third party" could be literally anyone. Unless it was a Storm official there's no story at all.

Article is by Dunny Widdler. That in itself should tell you all you need to know.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

I mean regardless if it’s true or not we are going to have to choose one or the other. A 25 year old that’s been struggling with injuries over the years & not knowing if that will continue & most likely won’t get back to 2020 paps or a 20 year old superstar in the making with much more upside and potential. I know who I’m choosing and I’m sure I know the storm deep down know it too.

Gotta feel for paps though.

I read a very good article by Brent Read ( who is one of the few journos who give us a fair go ) , who did indeed call BS on it. He reckons it was a plant by another club who was trying to elicit a stern denial by the Storm which in turn would unsettle Sua ! Pleasingly he also said Sua , as a Victorian, is very happy at the Storm.

Article in Zero Tackle suggesting Toby Rudolf as a good target for Storm to recruit. I was wondering what other stormers thought.

He's a good one. Taylan May though... No thanks, not interested, just no!

Rudolf - 11 runs for 93.3m, 1.3 tackle breaks, 0.86 offloads, 1 total linebreak, 25/1 tackles/missed tackles, 89% tackle efficiency, 4 total penalties

Welch - 11 runs for 90.6m, 0.92 tackle breaks, 1.56 offloads, 2 total linebreaks, 27/2 tackles/missed tackles, 88% tackle efficiency, 15 total penalties

Pretty similar. Don't think Rudolf is what the forward pack needs.

Hope this works - he is SUCH a valuable asset to any club.

Moeroa I can understand, Anderson at best a reserve winger but Ieremia?
