When you have the money we have available to spend on players, every single player in the NRL is available to sign.

Don't worry about who has contracts, in fact I'd be targeting players who have contracts.

This is a fantastic post.

This is the commercial reality of the modern NRL. The player market is a moveable feast where "availability" is dependent on the available cash and not contract status.

Cronk to leave Storm ?

Money talks, ask the blue and gold hero Hayne or our fans after 2009 if they thought he would leave.

Biggest load of bullshit ever.



So what now, Avy?

Time for another childish tantrum, after which you run away screaming you will never be back, only to slink back in because you need to pretend how "inside" you are so people on the internet can think you're cool?
My inside information was from the coaching staff. They are in shock as I am. We paid him whilst he was in the NFL. We allowed him to sell his merchandise in our club whilst he was in the States. He categorically promised publically on many occasions that he would return. My 14 year old son is devastated as are many fans. I'm angry because he deceived us.

The tantrums that you keep harping about are exaggerations on your part and I'm too wise to take your bait. If you knew me personally you would know what kind of 'man' I am.

Hayne is now worse than Jamie Lyon in my eyes. His legacy has now soured.

If cronk is still with his girlfriend???? There is a chance that Sydney move he was talking about is the reason his signsture has been halted.

Why would you leave a team with legitimate chances of winning a premiership this year and next for a team that is once again going through a rebuilding phase. Money is one thing. For a player at the end of his career like Cronk, particularly playing for Melbourne, money won't be a worry.

Why is everyone predicting us as a bottom 4 team next year?

Half our team is currently injured, but there are no significant losses from this years team to next save for Foran. While he is a significant player, he wasn't especially significant for us due (in part) to a low number of games played.

Signing a decent forward, hooker, and a halfback will give us a very strong squad for next season. We have 10 wins currently (and would have 12-13 if Norman hadn't been a dope) - not sure why people think we would be worse next season. French/ Gutho will be better after extended time in the top grade, Moeroa is improving weekly.

I don't really care that he's not coming back, it's more the principle of the matter. He said he'd be back, if 10:30 comes and it's true, he is a flat out liar.
I agree, epwcially after we let him go to chase his dream while he was still being payed by the club.


Bart was right he's a f**king merkin of a human being!!!!

Hedged his bets? He has had a gut feel from the moment the bloke left. Told everyone he would be back.

As much as it sucks right now I knew that he wouldn't play for Parramatta ever again the moment he f**ked off. Just really puts the icing on this f**ked up cake called 2016.
Colonel is right. If he returned to League I was certain he would be back with us. My sources were as good as you can get.

Exactly. Look for Cronk to sign a 2 year deal with Storm. In 2019+ he will be the only S G Ball coach on $800k per year.

NORMAN and SEMI still not guaranteed to stay. Look for the NRL to give the Dragons an allowance for Semi warchest to be lost to the game and the rest of their ample free cap to sign Norman lol

Like I have said before- We have moved on from Hayne. We do not need a fullback and at half he is a risk. Especially on huge $$$

Norman looks better now cause he runs the show-You have Hayne and Norman gets less ball. You only get 1-2 attacking plays a set. Norman gets atleast 1 of them.If we had Hayne he maybe gets half of that.

We need a dynamic hooker and more mongrel upfront. A half that has a good kicking game and can steer a team around.

Todd Carney + Farrah + Nathan brown would be good targets

You have no sources. You just pull shit out of your arse. Go away.
