STORM SIGN BACK

Wests Tigers flyer Josh Addo-Carr is poised to sign a three-year-deal with Melbourne.

After making his NRL debut for the Tigers against the Storm back in round seven, the 20-year-old has impressed Craig Bellamy enough to sign a deal which will see him move to the Storm until at least the end of 2019.

Scoring a try on debut, Addo-Carr joined the Tigers this year after graduating from Cronulla’s NYC system.

Meanwhile, the Storm have signed Ryan Morgan for the rest of the season.

It’s understood the Storm will announce the deal once the contract has been registered with the NRL, although Morgan has already joined his new teammates.

I know he was signed from Cronulla, but have the storm ever had players from their lower grade teams pinched? On the positive side, this no doubt cleared up money for Ava and Simona.

I just don't get the point in buying a player for a year, having them show promise, and then offloading them. Baffles me. By all accounts, it wasn't costing much to retain him either.

 

[madunit]

Yeah Storm have lost a fair few lower graders

Rory Kostjasyn, Luke Kelly, Robbie Rochow, Hep Cahill, Willie Isa, Gareth Widdop, Justin O'Neill, Dane Chisholm, Jy Hitchcox all played NSW cup for the Storm in 09 and 1p

 

[madunit]

JAC would've only been on 85k. Hardly freeing up cash for topping up contracts.

 

[Clifferd]

I'd leave to if Nathan Milone was getting picked ahead of me

He will be a gun at Melbourne, probably better than koro

 

[madunit]

I live in the hope that this could lead to more game time for Fine. He's a better centre than Kev. Kev is at his best on the wing. I can tolerate his rushing up defence a little when he's a winger

 

[YNWA Tigers]

Is this effective immediately or from 2017 onwards?

Thanks for the list and contract values. I honestly couldn't think of a single one, but that say more about me than anything else.

Agreed. At least on the wing he has the sideline to work with.

2017 onwards.

 

[YNWA Tigers]

2017 onwards.

I see. Safe to say he won't be getting much, if any, game time during this season though unless we are absolutely desperate and got nobody else. Not that JT would pick him over duds like Milone or similar anyway.

 

[Tigerted]

The brilliant Milone is @ the apex of Taylor's pecking order re our backup players to cover for injuries etc to our NRL 3/4's.

How Milone is playing @ any level beyond park footy baffles me.

We have a no. of decent options like Fine & chee cham.

 

[YNWA Tigers]

We have a no. of decent options like Fine & chee cham.

Yeah but they are only decent. Milone on the other hand is AWESOME!!!!
Other teams are not even trying to sign him because they know JT would never let such talent go to another club.

JAC, Fine, Chee are just meh kinda players.

:sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

 

[Vic Mackey]

FFS this is a joke. We get a great deal on stealing a kid for nothing then have another club probably offer $20k more and we refuse to meet it. Wing is our weakest position by some margain and we're letting a potential star go who reportedly wants to stay.

Just when you think this club is turning the corner...

 

[macnaz]

Just shits me !! This is the type of player we need . Good luck to him at the Storm , they will now have another crowd favorite to excite their fans while we plod along .

 

[jadtiger]

Its all good this means that the future legends like Buchanan and Milone will still be with us.Great work again Taylor

And where is Mark Oneill in all this ?. Wtf is he getting paid to do .

Kinda have to wonder how much say JT actually has when it comes to who comes and who goes.
Yes i know he should be the one in charge of that, but can't help but wonder if the pressure comes from higher up.

Every time i think of the talent we let slip through our hands (Fifita, Koroibete, Taupau, TMM, JAC and probably Cherrington to name just a few)...damn it, if we kept half of them only, we would be right at the top of the ladder every year instead of, every year, battling hard to win that wooden spoon.

Hey as long as we keep the best in Milone, Buchanan, Brooks, Moses, even Farah and Sironen...surely they will make us a lot more competitive...FFS.

 

[Clifferd]

The funny thing is he will get a starting spot from Round 1 onwards there too, in a successful team that's up there every year, one of the most professionally run clubs in the comp, best coaches in the game, best players in the game, getting paid more than what he was at the Tigers on a longer term deal

Meanwhile he couldn't get a run in our team that just plods around and scrapes the barrel each week.

At least we are consistent with an occasional blemish like the win last week.
Consistency is the key mate. :sarcasm:

Throw in Nathan Brown and Jy Hinchcox
