Gains, Losses and Re-Signings

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Tu’u Maori is listed as part of the Storm squad as well.

He's going to be a good player if given the oppurtunity and will probably do even better down in Melbourne, I was hoping he would get signed from the Jets to the Roosters.

 

[Noa]

new signing - coming soon.

 

[Noa]

Tohu Harris will be added to the full-time squad with a two year contract.

huge effort considering this was his first year playing against quality League players.

i like the look of Maurice Blair, paired up with Cronk, he has some potential.

and Elijah Niko was devastating in the TC Grand Final. Can't wait, march is too far away

 

[kia ora storm]

Niko is going to be the find of the season IMO.

If he stays fit he will be the big back that we have been looking for...Duffie and O'Neill are guns as well but they don't have the size of Niko and this will add another dimension to our backline next year.

 

[Avenger]

Cronk >>>> Parra.

 

[MsStorm]

Cronk >>>> Parra.

Go away you

 

[sallymay]

damn noa i hate Avenger i heard that rumour
its back again cooper has been officially offered a contract from the eels

 

[afinalsin666]

i think i'll cry if cronk leaves

 

[boots16]

damn noa i hate Avenger i heard that rumour
its back again cooper has been officially offered a contract from the eels

I can't see how this is possible. Cronk is signed to the Storm until the end of 2013. There was talk that he would be released from this deal as we looked to get under the salary cap but with the release of GI and others this has now occurred. The only way Parra could offer him a deal that he could accept is if he is released from the Storm and why would Storm do this now???

 

[slammingsam]

Kidwell and Walters assistant coaches.

 

[kia ora storm]

Good signings IMO...both Walters and Kidwell were strong players in their careers and Walters has had some success in Europe with Catalans.

Kidwell is still learning the trade but took Souths to the TYC final which is a good effort. He will mentor a lot of the Kiwis at Storm and attract more to the club as well which is a good thing.

 

[parra_jesus]

As I posted in the NYC thread, gun Union 5/8 (NZ Schoolboy rep) Matt McGahan has been signed. Damien Sironen as has been signed signed as well, he is a prop.

Any relation to Hugh McGahan and Paul Sironen ??...if so; both were legends.
