[Penelope Pittstop]

Thanx for the list, well done !!

 

[kia ora storm]

Beattie and Ryles would be good buys for the Storm as would El-Masri for his goalkicking but there is no way we would fit them under the cap.

 

[Earl]

Ryles won't leave StGeorge.

Where would you fit El Masri?

and Beattie is a has been.

 

[Lucas]

Not sure how accurate that list is. I am certain that Chan and MacDougall signed 2 year deals when they signed with the Storm last year, and there are plenty of names missing from that list!!

Would it be worth giving Mark Tookey a chance over here?

 

[The_Savage_1]

el masri - no f'n way!
tookey - no!
beattie - if the price was right
ryles - ditto but can't see it happening

mcdougall and chan signed 1 year deals i thought

 

[Surandy]

According to the Storm webiste Chan and MacDougall are listed as signed until the end of 2005. I've sent an email to the Storm seeking clarification.

 

[simostorm]

Looking at the list of players I dont see any I'd rather have then our own players of contract. Storm will be doing well if they can retain as many of our players as possible.

 

[Earl]

We need backrowers.

 

[ortz18]

Prtichard resigned

 

[Earl]

Paul Gallen and Chad Robinson go alright. And wouldn't break the bank either.

 

[Stormin Norman]

i saw a while ago that jamie feeney was leaving the bulldogs has he signed else wear if not he would be a quality signing

 

[Earl]

He hasn't signed with anyone yet, but he has definatly been released. At the right price he could restart his career in melbourne.

 

[simostorm]

Next year there will be some better talent coming off contract.
With Kearns and Kearney maybe retiring then, thats when we should snap some big players up.

 

[Hoggy]

A couple of low-priced guys, Michael Howell and Justin Smith.

 

[Earl]

Michael Howell goes alright.

 

[kia ora storm]

Chad Robinson would be a bloody good buy and would be great as a utility player for the Storm.

;-)

 

[simostorm]

Ned Catic would be great also.

 

[Earl]

Hoggy's a bit of a Tony Jensen fan, so maybe we should grab him?

 

[LESStar58]

Heard that Shannon Hegarty and Jonathon Thurston might link with Souths...interesting.
