We also have signed Bronson Garlick (2022) for next year

The Storm have also announced the signing of NSW Cup mainstay, Bronson Garlick, with the 25-year-old hooker inking a one-year development contract with Melbourne for 2022.

Garlick enters Storm's sheds with over 100 NSW Cup appearances on his record, including 12 with the Newtown Jets during their short-lived 2021 season.

It seems to me we are low balling on a couple of options so we have more money to pay Brandon Smith and keep our other stars.

But our recruiters are the real stars.

Apparently we are in the running for Mark Geyer's son as well although Penrith are as well.

The article from the excellent Brent Read confirms that Cole ( who has signed with us ) is Matt’s son, and Mavrik ( sic) is Mark’s son.

Curtis Scott got sacked by Raiders

I really like watching Curtis. I hope he gets his life sorted and gets back out there.

I wonder if his papers are 100% stamped here as well. From memory we moved him on as much as anything to acommadate Cam Smith's salary, who they thought would have retired by then. His behaviour obviously wasn't great (and has got worse since he left) but I felt it was prodominately a monetary decision to move him on.

Whilst I agree, finances were probably a factor, I don't think his behavior since signing with us and since leaving will result in him being welcomed back with open arms.

I wouldn't be a fan of the club going back to that well...

Not saying open arms, per se. But offering minimum salary if he can't find another gig? Might be the wake up call he needs.

I don't know what Scott actually did well after a really solid first full season in 17. His defence didn't stick and he was a stiff with the ball. Pair that with his attitude and I wouldn't go near him.

No thanks …we got rid of him for a reason we don’t need to bring in that much trouble

Jayden Nikorima scored a hat trick in Queensland Cup over the weekend. Unfortunately it was against Brisbane Tigers.

I wonder if the Club thinks Munny is a big chance of leaving ?

Our best chance of keeping him is if the expansion side gets put on hold for a while (as it should).
