His words …my time was up at Melbourne
Storm being professional, hard nosed business people to maintain Club success.

Difficult to see legends of our Club moved on...but love that success comes with sentiment at the right time...and will be pursued without sentiment when and where necessary.

JBrom...forever Storm wherever he plays.... :hello1: :hello1:

Confirmed we are making a play at Sims, I would like to boast about calling it here first but pickings are slim. He's on $800k atm so would hit the cap hard even at 60% of that.

If Taupau goes to the Cowboys immediately, I do wonder if McLean becomes a short term cheap option.

According to media, we only have $100,000 left in the cap, so we can't get Sims this year.

We should just retire someone and then unretire them to get the salary cap space - in honour of playing souths who do this lots of course

lima lima lima duck me.....I would LOOOOOOOOVE to have Suli back at the club on the other wing to Coates.

They would literally be unstoppable

If they can offer him the coin he's on in Union, good luck to them.

So far it seems that everyone they have attracted is on the downhill end of their career.

Happy for him
I would’ve signed Wes LoLo though but that’s just me

Good day for the club. Dolphins would've been coming in hard for Harry and Jahrome.

Great to see the three re-signings. Jahrome and Harry are massive signings.

Xavier must be loving the place to re-sign given he has been here for such a short period of time. Don't forget he is only 21 still.

The Coates one raises an eyebrow. The other 2 now have legitimate claims of being captain next year with Jesse moving on. Massive signings.
