Rumoured Targets 3

[The Axe of Druss]

It’s about the loyalty both ways. Jackson has every right to take the money and run. But since everyone is so touchy about it I will acquiesce and say you are correct. Just remember this guy has said many things over the years about every club he has been to and how much he loves the fans. Like Salford. They literally idolise him there. He left for Wigan the next year. After Salford saved his career from the DCE punch on.

It's a pro sport mate, don't be naive

I've always thought Liam Martin would be the first forward I sign if I was starting a new team. He is amazing.

I was supposed to post he won the CCM for the 2024 GF back in 2023?

You having shit opinions will always be worth noting champ

 

[Rod]

I can't figure out Martin out tbh. Sometimes he looks like the best forward in the game and other times he looks like a faster and more unhinged Todd Lowrie.

Even last night it was hardly a vintage CCM performance. He was basically responsible for the Storm's only try. His effort plays and kick chases make up for a lot though.

He’s very good but he’s honestly only their fourth best forward. I would pick any of their starting middles over him.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Martin isn’t a stats monster by any means (in fact his stats on paper look pretty pedestrian) but his intensity and grit are off the charts. The bloke is absolutely full of mongrel. Honestly would love a player like him at our club.

Yeo is a better player for sure! I just like Liam's style.

Liam Martin just has that dawg in him. A modern Jeremy Smith.

Good comparison, very similar to guys like Smith and Mick Crocker, stats won’t amaze you but a lot of their best work isn’t recorded on a stat sheet

Man I used to love Jezza, even before he came to us. What a player.

Martin’s evolution has been something I doubt anyone saw coming. He has gone from a rugged bench forward to one of the most influential players in the game. His brother committed suicide sadly, and all he has ever wanted to do was make his brother proud. His mother drove him large distances to achieve his dream. Every bit of it is deserved. Probably My favourite player in the game.

Wow I didn’t know that about his brother, that’s terrible and sad for him and his family. It makes his Clive Churchill medal the other night even more special.

Apparently we have signed Adam Blair to do something to do with not loosing young talent? Can’t see article behind the paywall

I thought this was Dobsons role?

Jeez how inspiring. Peak outside the Melbourne Storm system bum.

 

[Yosh]

Isn't he a great trainer and professional?

Are you really going to hold a few lean years of his playing career against him even well after his retirement? Blair also played 51 tests for New Zealand which is second all time only behind Ruben Wiki.
Blair has always had a positive reputation in terms of professionalism and work ethic, was also a mentor to the young Polynesian boys during his years at the warriors.
