Yep, you have to get the timing right, which also means letting go an aging star a year too early rather than a year too late. No clubs do this as well as the Storm.
What improvements? Foran for less than 20 games? Luke and RTS brought a defensive weakness. Otherwise they have most of the same weak players as last year, with their 'best' all round players getting old.
Exactly, which is why shit clubs experience so much coach churn. They need somebody who will help them overachieve, but unless they find a Brad Arthur they won't get one. The established coaches avoid these clubs, so they're stuck with mediocre coaches like Kearney, Stuart and Cleary.
Every club needs players who are barely first graders. We even have a few in our 17 this weekend.
$900k is pretty close to being "close to $1m".
He'll be a direct replacement for Harris because they play the same side and he will be walking into a vacancy. He won't be the only 'barely first grade' standard player in their team. Don't assume the Storm are full of stars just because the team is strong. Half their blokes would look as ordinary as Hoffman if they played for other clubs. I'm not saying they're reserve graders, but they're not blokes anyone would brag about having in their team, much like Takairangi/Mannah/King/etc
John Grant would. He is immune to anyone not liking him.
