Rumours and Stuff

So winning a lot of games early in a player's career doesn't guarantee a future Immortal, but it certainly puts Drown in good company:

Wins at 21st birthday

40 Lockyer (mostly at fullback)
34 Cleary
30 Foran
27 Brown (eight games left until he turns 21)
27 Pearce
27 Thurston
24 Marshall
19 Brooks
19 Johns
11 Hunt (mostly off the bench)
10 Moses
7 Cronk (mostly off the bench)
7 Johnson
4 Townsend
0 Cherry-Evans
0 Keary
0 Maloney
0 Reynolds

If Dylan Brown 'only' ends up as good as Mitchell Pearce or Kieran Foran I'll be happy, and you should be too. They are quality first graders.

Surely Thurston's were mosly off the bench also?

Pete, you do realise that this is what is called "football discussions?" Fans of football codes will discuss and debate all matters pertaining to and or affecting their Club or code. We know the Retention committee is on it, but we like to talk, debate and speculate. Otherwise what sort of fans are we if we didn't and showed know interest? The club would eventually die and so would the sport. Sports beating heart is built on this/

You get that right?
Great post.

I don’t think he does. He also always reckons if a guy is a great bloke they will be top players and coach’s. For eg he likes David Furner. I’ve heard he’s a lazy coach and not that good at all. Good bloke though.

I found Milford when I looked it up. Moses Mbye was lurking around in the back of the photo, trying to push Luke Brooks out of the way.

Is Milford over rated, or just over paid? I'm not sure many people outside of the people who signed him for the money that he is on, actually rate him.

Having said that, the same people are now considering paying over $1 million for a downhill skier who has achieved nothing in the game.

If the Donkeys are offering Moses a Mil, what's the premium in that for joining a shit club, doing shit and going to shitsville faster than a runaway shit train rolling downhill.

If we have grown as much as a club that is a desired destination as we all seem to think we have, why would we need to match their offer dollars wise?

Check out Matty Johns Face to Face with Nicho Hynes. Great story of determination. A bit of an insight into The Storm culture as well. I really enjoyed it.

So according to NRL360 we are keeping Moses and are the front runners for Staggs. Now let’s assume that’s correct. Blake to the wing or boned? Staggs plays on the same side as Staggs at right centre. I’m assuming we will offer Opačić an extension, he has been excellent. Penisini the back up?

I would say Opacic has been adequate. And maybe Waqa can play on the left?
