Official thread and signing news
The club would be spewing. Seeing a captain leave after a handful of games is not an encouraging sign, I don't want to sound like old mate Six Rings but all successful clubs have long term leadership and continuity, I think management had hoped for that initially

But we all know the Club wasn't going to offer Dale 4 years at 29 years (turning 30 this year).nacho wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 8:21 pm The club would be spewing.

Might have thought he'd take 2 years...

We have given Jordan Grant a train and trial deal.yourhero wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 10:55 am https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... 7e96d282d9
Not so much a "signing", but a player outside our Top 30, not even on a development deal, that is listed as a possible inclusion at some point.
Jordan Grant
Before you get too excited, there’s no relation to Harry Grant. But Jordan Grant is making his own mark on the Queensland Cup. The 26-year-old prop is a new face to Storm feeder club Easts Tigers this year and joined Melbourne in an NRL pre-season. He previously played for Mackay Cutters where he nailed a spot in the Intrust Super Cup’s Team of the Year in back-to-back seasons. and he also took home Mackay’s player of the year award in both of those seasons. He’s scored two tries in the four games he’s played this year, is averaging 169 running metres and two tackle busts per game. Defensively he is outstanding, having only missed a total of three tackles this season.

Technically I think Booth falls into this category also.

That thought regularly occurs to me. Through the whole competition how many remain from that game? Actually, looking at that team there's a few names in our team I'm surprised with.Shuttlesworth99 wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 11:18 am I still find it crazy to think he played in the 2012 GF!

In all honesty, I think the person that takes over from Craig is Ryan Hinchcliffe, and I would support him 100%…

Nicho off to the sharks. Huge deal for him.
Stoked for him though, personally I hope he kills it. One of the good guys.
I’m guessing he is going to play 5/8. Maybe they resign Shaun Johnson to play half back? Moylan has to be gone.

Wishing Nicho all the best but still think he’ll struggle to some degree. He’s a decent player but I suspect he’s looked better than he may be long term within the well coached Storm team and system.Shuttlesworth99 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 7:35 pm Nicho off to the sharks. Huge deal for him.

I agree completely. Leaving the Storm and becoming a better player never really happens. But Nicho got what he wanted - starting spot and a great contract.Storm Spirit wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 7:49 pmWishing Nicho all the best but still think he’ll struggle to some degree.
