Lima and Hoffman

[mouse13]

Both are rumoured to have signed for Wigan. According to Sportal.com.au

Good news if true. If we need to shed players, the mid-teir older players are the ones. England is the ideal place, as these loyal blokes wouldn't want to play against us. And more importantly, if it is indeed true true, these players would most likely be on contracts at the same value (or if not greater value) than what they were on with us - meaning it would most likely not compromise future cap.

And of course, all the best to both Ryan and Jeff if it's true - they've given us their all, and have been practically one club players. Such a pity they've been forced out on the back of off-field deceit by the admin, rather on the back of on-field success by their own accord.

Hoffie has been a good player for the club...shows his passion on the field and has been consistent.

Lima has dropped off this season but can also walk away knowing that he did as much as could for the club and the boys.

Won't shed a tear for Lima, but will miss the Hoff for sure.

Sad to see anyone go..

 

[kia ora storm]

Will be gutted if Blair goes...

 

[Noa]

Maybe harsh but the right calls have been made here, we all expected Lima to go but Ryan hasnt really kicked on from where he was 2 or 3 years ago.However the impact he's had on the club shouldnt be under-estimated through his passion, commitment to excellence and professionalism, some of which I hoped has rubbed off on the young players.So thanks Hoff.

Good luck to both of them.
Hoffy in particular is going to be missed. He was always so positive and professional off field in media interviews, etc. and I am sure he would have passed on that vibe to the younger players.

Both now confirmed along with Brett Finch.

Hoffy's signed a 1 year deal. We may see him back in Storm colours after that?
