Cronulla and Melbourne NSW Cup alliance

[madunit]

Just trying to see who Storm have signed from the NSW Cup
Definites:
Luke Kelly
Gareth Widdop
Justin O'Neill
Chase Stanley
Atelea Vea

Those who I'm fairly sure have been retained by Storm:
Rory Kostjasyn
Sione Kite
Hep Cahill

Those whose contracts ended this season and who haven't been resigned to my knowledge:
Luke MacDougall
James Woolford
Billy Rogers

Notable left overs:
Dane Chisolm
Jy Hitchcox
Willie Isa
Fred Makimare

among several others. I rate Chisholm highest among that last lot. Some of the tried he scored this year were freakish and came from deep within the realms of his own backside. He played at Fullback, Centre, Wing, Five-eighth and Halfback this year for the Storm.

The Storm have a lot of backs joining the Sharks NSW Cup side. Attack wise they are great, some of them though are quite poor defensively, and it's mostly due to their poor positioning and lack of peripheral vision. Tackling wise, they are very sound.

hmmm reading your update here MU I'd say the Storm have well and truly secured the wheat and the Sharks are left with the chaff. Chisholm is the only one to get excited about.

Lot of water to go under the bridge with this before it can be called a success IMO.

That's pretty much the case Frenzy, although the players the Sharks have picked up will provide to be great depth.

Meaning the Sharks shouldn't chase depth signings, they should go all out, no holds barred and buy the biggest and best wherever they can.

The Storm also confirmed they had formed an alliance with Queensland Cup club Brisbane Easts, as well as NSW Cup side Cronulla.

Under the partnership arrangement, Storm will send NRL squad members not playing in their first-grade squad to either Cronulla or Brisbane Easts.

Great. The GOOD ones will go to Brisbane Easts. The crap ones to Cronulla.
AWESOME!

Now this just seems like a plan for Melbourne to be able to keep their juniors in NSWRL comps, unlike Canberra and Manly who are about to be booted for being affiliated only with Qld Cup sides.
