Good news re: Blake. I hope he is in the full time FG plans if they do sign him.
can someone please tell me what the point of Melbourne is??eelavation said:Kris Keating - still talking but we're very confident in signing him he is a must signing for us imo, several clubs have shown interest including The Dogs and Melbourne.

they just throw money at the best juniors around and do NOTHING for the game
i suspect there will NEVER be a Melbourne junior in their team
cardinal said:You could say the same things about the roosters at least the storm are getting better crowds than the roosters or souths. They have the best recruitment going around and are starting to get rugby league played in a few schools which is a huge effort. Why don't you mention the bulldogs or manly who are always sniffing around our juniors. The sydney nrl clubs cant draw more crowds than the swans and the storm have to compete against 10 melbourne afl clubs. Unless you live in Melbourne and see how massive afl is on a day to day basis you have no idea what a good job the storm are doing.
El Diablo said:Melbourne are a waste of time. no juniors in 10 years yet clubs are getting players from WA and the NT which have no teams.
While Paea and Parramatta prop Tim Mannah stood out for the Blues, the star of the show was Queensland centre and Northern Territory-product Will Chambers.
Chambers, the son of a Gove mining supervisor who idolises Blues winger Matt King, scored both of the Maroons tries with brilliant evasive skills and pace.
The 18-year-old scored a try in his NRL debut for Melbourne against the Roosters on the weekend and showed why the Storm's recruitment team is considered the best in the business.

so Melbourne are signing juniors from the NT which has NO team
way to go
how about some Victorians???
El Diablo said:Melbourne knock back a Victorian and sign a bloke from the NT
way to go
even the Reds helped League more in their brief history
What is the difference from signing a player from the NT to signing Albert Kelly from Kempsey or Tim Smith from the Gold Coast?
El Diablo said:i have stated it a few times already. the NT has NO team yet have a local playing and Melbourne have NONE.
imagine if the NT had a team
and by the looks of things Melbourne are looking for players everywhere apart from Victoria
cardinal said:Yeah the NT could build a team around that 1 player![]()
cardinal said:Kempsey don't have a team in the nrl either but that is where Albert is from.
cardinal said:The long and the short is you get the best talent from where ever you can, and if the storm keep playing in a few more grand finals you can bet there are a few 12 and 14 year olds watching that will play the game and before you know it the storm will have some local juniors. In the mean time lets hope we can pick up the odd Inglis to go with Hayne, Inu and Mateo.
