Do you mean Yes you'd want him at Storm.......but probably it won't happen because Storm wont make a move for him ?
I don’t think we need him but won’t be surprised if he is given a contract

I doubt nofo comes to Melbourne, part of his falling out with the tiger is he was more or less told he wouldn't be playing first grade. I can't see him coming to melboure to be a depth signing.

If we were certain we'd make a gun centre out of Warbrick and/or Coates I'd do it. But I'm more concerned about trying to fit in Meaney, Sua and Howarth (is he centre or 2nd row?) than plonking Nofo on a wing and having yet another experiment.

We need gun middle forwards and a quality centre to replace Olam. That's about it at this stage.

Discontented, out of form, defensively fragile outside back? That'd be a great investment.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Was he that because he was at the Tigers?

I’ve got no idea….but maybe spending time with the Storm and then having to go back to that absolute rabble of a Club was the worst thing for him and his career.

Hard pass on Nofa

We already have essentially Sua, Meaney, Howarth, Seve, Anderson, Young, Bradley and Ieremia competing for one backline spot, don’t need another who has a poor attitude.

Talking about wingers, I really think our outside men are made to look and react as they do by the people inside them. (Anyone ever tried being a winger and having to rely on those inside them? FB is much easier with a roving commission - so long as you can tackle...)

Bullucked I agree. Look at all the criticism Suli used to get on the wing in defence.

I think we also need to use the wingers more on attack with bombs to them.

Look at Warbrick in the final against the Roosters. Plus we have Xavier Coates.

Holy shit…Sua has re-signed with Storm till 2028. He must have a heap of faith in the Club’s direction for him

It’s a good story for him and the club but definitely an interesting one. Still has a lot to prove and not entirely sure what this means for Paps now outside of I’m not sure we should expect him to be around for much longer?

Cole Geyer has left the club effective immediately, he has returned to the Gold Coast to play for Burleigh in the QLD Cup.

Good luck Cole!

Cole Geyer has today announced he is leaving effective immediately taking up a position at the Berleigh bears

I think the writing was on the wall RD 27 last year when he was overlooked to play

I think the grooming of Keagan Russell smith is also pointing to him leaving as well


Actually really disappointed
