We don’t need to pay a bloke to sit on the sideline for 25% of the year.

Eight rounds in - is it fair to say Josh King is our new Dale Finucane yet?

Yep, I just finished giving him a rap in the game thread. Who the hell saw this coming!?? (besides probably Bellyache)

I’m not even sure Bellyache could have envisaged this. Phenomenal from round one. Hats off to him, comes across as a bloke who loves the hard work.

How long is he signed for? Sign him up long term now.

I reckon he is until the end of 2023.

I wouldn’t think it’s for too much either.

But wouldn’t be a bad move to have a chat until the end of 2025

I'd like 2026 or 2027 myself. Get 150 games out of him.

He won the iron bar at the IDQ camp so obviously the storm coaches saw something in him

Anyone reckon Belly could get the best out of Jack Hetherington?

I reckon he could get the best out of anyone, the question is how much untapped talent is there?

Bellamy can say all he likes but he's never going to retire from coaching lol.

Only people I feel bad for are the assistants that thought there was a slight chance of taking over for him.

Fox saying Olam has agreed to terms until the end of 2025. I really hope this is true.

We already had a club option on him for next year, another 2 on top of that would be a great result.
