Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

[Since 73]

He has two years left, he wanted both years guaranteed, Storm were only willing to pay for one. Matterson declined the transfer.

I rate matterson.

I used to watch him at the rorters and wish he'd jump to the Mightys.
Such a good ball playing backrower he would often get selected at 6.

His career has gone off a cliff at the eels. He isnt the first.
He wanted 2 years so obvioulsy doesn't back himself to find enough form to get a 2nd year.
That says it all.

The storms rep for turning careers around wouldve been His best move.

Yeah early Ryan Matterson was ok but a bit overrated for mine.

Then he got quite lazy with work rate and was more concerned about chasing the coin over working hard at his footy.

 

[bad boy bubby]

As soon as he chose to take the 4 weeks off and not pay the fine for an indiscretion he put a line through himself.
No one wants someone who won't take one for their team.

 

[shaggs]

He also has HIA problems

Pele is back in the NRL at the Rabbits, was it one first grade game for us.
Lazy as, he would not put a shift in

dude is a bum

In a nutshell it looks like the court upheld Parra and Lomax's previous agreement regarding his release from the club and contract.

Storm left with huge legal costs as Lomax saga reaches shock conclusion

Parramatta and Melbourne reach an out-of-court settlement that leaves Zac Lomax unable to join the Storm until 2028.

Not exactly.

They settled it outside of Court so no ruling was required. Storm agreed to pay Parra's legal fees and Parra agreed to shave 1 year off his return date without their prior agreement.

This one side settlement really shows how poorly the Storm rated their chances in Court.

And also Parra were going to call Abdo, and the text messages would have been given as evidence.
This could have been possibly someone telling the Storm that this should end

Wonder how much Parra would value a Braden Uele this season…..

Are we getting a replacement because if not we need him this year.

Injuries to middles are going to happen so we need experienced depth.

Are you thinking along the lines of somehow getting Lomax?

That’s the play I’d be making.

This is the sad truth.
As far as middles are concerned, the cupboard is pretty bare.

The coaching staff need to be putting serious time into Tuku and Felix.
Otherwise I'm not sure where the reinforcements come from.

Tuku in the mix for sure especially if Toby and Braiden don’t lift substantially.

Felix I’d like to see a full year in NSW Cup this season. But if his form warrants selection in the backend of the year I’d have no problem with it. But it wouldn’t be a Fitzy thing to do.

Was a good shout and would of strengthen us immensely for a year but he just signed with Rugby Australia to play for Western Force

 

[Stake Removed]

Felix and McCulloch are ready, I think important to note a lot of times the no 17 gets 10 to max 20 minutes..
Hunt used to do that type of role, Felix or McCulloch could do that, ease them in

Great to see the selfish bum out of the NRL.

Yep far kim

Interesting to see both Trai Fuller and Chevy Stewart, have been offered up by there clubs

 

[bad boy bubby]

Just saw this little snippett at the end of a story about Bula being looked at by the Dargons, in The Age by Prosenko.

Anyone else heard this one?

"In other contract news, Cronulla is expected to announce the retention of Billy Burns for a further two seasons. The Perth Bears had expressed interest in Burns, but the back-rower has opted to remain in the Shire."

Dragons to pounce on Jahream Bula if Tigers can’t seal deal

St George Illawarra has identified Jahream Bula as the long-term replacement for Clint Gutherson. Now the pressure is on the Wests Tigers to seal a deal.
