    Is Gorgeous George still in Melbourne?

    Just looked at the Storms website for its listed players and Gorgeous George is missing. I can't see any photos at training since they did that bid training exercise. Is he still stuck in a restaurant somewhere?

    Melbourne Storm 2014.

    Is this correct - who is Penani Manumalealii? Is he contracted to the Storm OR the Sharkies? A poor opening 20 minutes of the first half saw the Sharks fall 4-0 behind before two pieces of individual brilliance turned the game. The first came when Melbourne Storm contracted five-eighth Penani...

    Gains, Losses and Re-Signings

    Re George Rose - unwanted by Manly due to Salary cap. Also had real trouble getting back into 1st grade in 2013. I heard he specifically sought out Bellamy to resurrect his career as most teams saw him as washed up. At his best he is a bull dozer close to the line and in his heyday he was a...

    Melbourne Storm 2014.

    I don't think the ride is over, but I think our normal expectation (like the Broncos) of a GF finish need to be tempered. Souths and maybe the Roosters will be pulled apart next year with salary expectations of their stars reeking havoc (I personally cannot work out how Souths can financially...

    Melbourne Storm 2014.

    But the club will be broke feeding him and paying for 2 seats every time he flies interstate. Can he play 5/8th????

    Melbourne Storm 2014.

    Agreed with everything that has been said. Funny thing about MacLean he is a monster like Garbutt but has no aggression - we need a forwards coach to teach these guys that their size can hurt people. Waqa also needs to be taught not to carry the ball ONE HANDED. Our BIGGEST issue in 2014 is...

    Knights game

    Knights were a better side on the day and personally our recent performances did not warrant us the proceed further. My thoughts on the game: 1. Widdop was underdone still. Did some dumb passes - Finch would have been better 2. Cronk's kicking was really off - possibly one of his worse games...

    Gains, Losses and Re-Signings

    Garbutt is signed for 1 year - note sure about Glasby.

    Sorry Manly you won't make the GF

    I am with the conspiracy theorists. You were the better team last week, but playing Souths is now a tactical problem where the NRL gods will rob you of a GF place. You will win this week, but expect the following: One of your goto forwards to be put on report this week and will miss a week...

    Cartwright fails. Time to go

    Amazed he has lasted so long - considering the depth of talent has had during his tenure.

    Will Chambers

    Chambers can be real defensive hole in big games - take a look at the Parramatta Storm 2009 GF. He left the Storm and was nothing, he has blossomed under the big 3 and BellyAche, but I agree with The Enforcer:

    Widdop Gonskiis!!!!

    Can't help but wish him well - Saints can't attract flies at the moment so they have cash to burn. Widdop is an great talent as his mental attitude has developed very nicely under Bellamy and the big 3 and he will shine for the Dragons. He is 24, has a young family and they are going to pay him...

    New Telstra Deal signed

    Since I am not a Broncos follower who get nearly all my matches on Friday and free to air, I wanted to know how can and how much digital matches will be to my mobile. See NRL Rights Deal http://www.afr.com/p/national/telstra_to_sign_nrl_digital_rights_FUDX31kPFMz8pRLxklpovK Does anyone...

    Bolters this season

    Keep an eye out for Richard Kennar only under 20s player picked for next trial match: http://www.melbournestorm.com.au/nycplayerprofiledisplay/Storm-NYC/Richard%20Kennar/5576

    Craig Bellamy - 2014 onwards

    The best prospect is that he will stay. News limited require him to "sell the Storm" to a prospective buyer so at least we will match the Saints offer. He wants a 5 year contract - no problems with that, as Cronk, Smith and Finch are the coaches of our next wave of talent and there is a...

    Kyle Stanley done his ACL again. Will miss entire 2013 season.

    Fact: when you do the ACL your market value halves, twice and your really lucky to get a one year contract. Kid needs to look for further career alternatives - the reality is no club will risk their salary cap on a player that can't make it on the paddock. We have seen it before real talent...

    If you were given dictatorial power over the NRL, what would you do?

    1. Make ALL player managers and club officials sign statutory declarations to their knowledge of player deals. This would include knowledge of gifting houses/forward payments and spousal job appointments. 2. Invest heavily in "touch footy" for both boys and girls right through to adulthood to...

    Finchy

    Finch + Widdop + Cronk + Slater + Smith = a team where a play can come from anywhere. If I had a guess, I will would agree, he will be a Kostjasyn replacement BUT with a ball player advantage. Handy pickup and a good team player.

    Sika Manu

    Sika was a rising star until his leg was absolutely crushed (i think) a season ago, since then he has not carried 10 guys on his back as he usually did. With confidence (and fully fit) he is a wrecking ball worth a bucket load of cash - overweight as he is now and lacking confidence he is...

    Widdop

    Fair suck of the lollypop - You are picking on him for 2 Ben Teo barging runs that they practice all the time. The last one ran over the top of Hoffman as well, I wish we trained Sika to do the same thing as Teo. Bellamy will be waiting for Cronulla to try the same thing on Monday night -...
