Tim glasby
Joel Romalo
Sisa Waqa
Ben Roberts
And
Ryan Hoffman


Think that's all
I didn't recall Tim Glasby in the package.
I said to the wife "how good would you feel, in the middle of the ground and they left you out."
Someone please tell me I'm blind.

didn't see him either.

travis robinson was signed for 2014-2015 originally so there would be no choice on retaining him.

My thought when Glasby wasn't in the package is could he have reneged on deal with Cowboys and stay with Storm. I know wishful thinking. Glasby has been playing consistently in first grade surprised they forgot him.

Sallymay what do you know re Kaufusi and Robinson. Disappointed if we lose Kaufusi shows some promise. I thought Robinson was here for 2 years too.

Big fan of Moors sad to see him leave thought he played well when he came on last night.

Romelo was in the video tribute as a player who is leaving however Matt Duffie was NOT in the video.

Saw MD walking around the ground at the end of the game with other players who are staying and some who are leaving.

would have thought IF MD was leaving, the club would really recognize and acknowledge what he had done for the club (which is a lot if we think back to 2010 - 2011)

Pretty sure Duffie is either playing for the Storm or retiring.

If true, that is excellent news. Too much invested in Mahe to lose him now that he is starting to fulfill his potential.

it's possible, I looked up the article about him resigning and no length was mentioned. same as Kenny Bromwich and it was later revealed he'd signed for 3 years so hopefully mahe did too.

Does anyone know if Kaufusi is contracted for next year? I was watching him in the Q Cup yesterday and he looks like he can really break a game open with his runs, he was tying up 2,3 and 4 defenders every time.
