Pop Leutele in next week in the 5-minute-end-of-game role? Or will he need longer than that?

He said in his first interview Lachlan (the storm S and C ) is going to make him do a mini pre season for a few weeks ...I assume that would be 1/2 weeks 4 games left 2/3 finals or last 3 rounds 2/3 finals

Listening to the Johns family podcast Matty was talking to cooper about the whole Cam Harry and Brandon situation he said he couldn’t say much as he didn’t know for sure and cam hadn’t said anything to the players yet be he believe only 2 of the 3 will be at the club next year ...he wouldn’t say who he thought they would be...I mean he is pretty much best mates with Harry so you would think he would’ve asked him at some point

Looks like Welch is staying on after turning down the Dragons.

Great news on Welch!

So is today D-Day for Cam Smith's decision?

How bitter is Paul Kent on Cameron Smith? :lol:

The pure hate in Kent's voice every time he talks about Smith on NRL360 is hilarious. I rarely watch it anymore (Kent, Hooper, Crawley the primary reasons), but I still catch the occasional clips when talking about the Storm.

Yeah, I watched NRL 360 this morning... don't understand why Kent is so angry at Smith, then he says its under the guise of doing what's best for Melbourne Storm. He can get stuffed, since when does he care about what's best for Melbourne Storm.

He doesn't care. He has made that abundantly clear. It is just a convenient excuse to be able to lay the boot into Smith once again.

He is a whingy bitch whenever a player/club blackballs him from contact. I do note that he is quoting Matt Tripp in his article today (someone added a pic to FB). Not sure why Matt Tripp would be answering this flogs calls. That is concerning.

Three Melbourne Storm players who have helped the club to a 10th consecutive NRL finals appearance have signed contract extensions for the 2021 season.

The trio – Ryley Jacks, Nicho Hynes and Darryn Schonig – have totalled 17 games this season as good squad depth becomes even more vital for teams to contend for the premiership.

Also joining Storm for 2021 on development contracts are Jonah Pezet from Newcastle and Tagiolupe Tivalu, who has been with the Sydney Roosters for the past three seasons.

Pezet, 18, is a halfback whose father, Troy, played 28 NRL games for South Queensland Crushers and Parramatta, while Tivalu is a 22-year-old front-rower who played his junior rugby league with the Souths Logan Magpies.

Pezet is signed through to 2023 and Tivalu to the end of 2022.
