A lot of the Storm NSW Cup players are unsigned, so they are effectively free agents. If they join the merged NSW Cup, I'm speculating here, but I'm pretty sure they would have to sign Cronulla contracts tying them to the Sharks, not the Storm. So when Origin hits, only the players in the side contracted to the Storm are eligible to play for the storm in NRL.
And from what I gather, there won't be many players (maybe 4-5 that are available, off the top of my head... Rory Kostjasyn, Hep Cahill, Gareth Widdop, Luke Kelly, there may be others.
You are a liar, an ignorant dickhead, a sh*thouse troll, a hypocrite, living in denial moron whose greatest achievement in life was farting without sh*tting himself.
... if benji ran straight more and not do his flick pass and kicks on 2nd or 3rd tackle tigers would be a better team and not have to wait 4 years to make finals.
your a idiot
so melbourne will continue to have 1 1/2 times the cap of other clubs..
As I can only assume.But is it our team?
Do we get the money?
Is it a joint partnership?
What if 70% of the team are our guys?
I began writing for Rugby League Review magazine this year. My boss there recently had an interview with Greg Brentnall who is the Storm development officer I believe, regarding the Storm and Cronulla merger.
Here are the facts:
*The team will still be known as Cronulla Sutherland Sharks
*All home games will be played at the Sharks NSW Cup teams home ground
*Any surplus Storm players from NSW Cup will be sent to the Sharks, however due to the Salary Cap issue, they will not be Melbourne aligned players. They will actually be Cronulla players (I suggested earlier they would be free agents so to speak, but now those players will be contracted to the Sharks only)
*The Storm will not have any part time players outside of their top 25.
So it isn't really a merger, it was a takeover. Storm NSW Cup players had nowhere to play and the Sharks took them all.
Great work by the Sharks and I can tell you in all seriousness, you have picked up some f**king fantastic depth and even some NRL quality players with the right coaching.
The NSW Cup players that the Storm signed will play with their feeder club Easts Tigers in Brisbane.

Sharks might get Vea and Killingbeck back I suppose
Pretty sure Kelly, Widdop, Kite and maybe 1 or 2 others have been signed to the Storm NRL side.For example?
Will the Sharks get players of the calibre of Dane Chisolm, Luke Kelly, Mad Pup, Billy Rogers, Gareth Widdop, Sione Kite to name a few.
Most of the others from this year are nuff nuffs.
