Signing News

[1999]

As i was to believe scott hill has been released from the last 2 years of his contract and the whispers keep circulating in rugby league circles and the mail is webster is also all but singed and sealed with the titans, and steve turner is very close to coming to terms with the tigers. Big whispers the ADAM MACDOUGALL, yes you heard me doogs is on the verge of linking up with bellamy at the storm after they struck up a relationship at country origin, and for awhile now i've been hearing melbourne were waiting to see what scotty hill done but now im led to believe a big amount of money is going to be thrown at none other than reni matuia, on the contrary none of this is concrete but when it happens, you heard it here 1st!

 

[MONY]

why would we want to buy Reni Matuia... He is not a 5/8 and never will be... yes he has a strong running game but really what will he offer the team...

Doogs would be a great singing imo, he will do the job that webby and Turner do out of dummy half as he is a strong runner of the ball...

 

[shadow grinder]

f**k reni maitua...dont need that thug at the club.

Apprently kidwell may be looing elsewhere aswell...and according to the storm we have "a few salary cap issues" so they may be looking to offload a couple more players.

 

[MONY]

well at least the forward pack looks good....

Crossman
Smith
Cross
Crocker
Hoffman
Johnson

Hilly going would mean that Boofa could get a year or two in the halves until Joe gets more experience. I know that's were Bellamy ultimately wants him. Hopefully it frees up some cash for Stevie Turner and/or Jake Webster. If I was forced to choose between the two, I would prefer Turner. Webster is a bit full of himself, he's not that established as a rep player yet. A nicer, more level headed kid than Steve Turner you could not meet. Had tea with him Origin I.

 

[MONY]

Geyer is not a 5/8 and therefore would set the team back another 1 or 2 years if he was to move to 5/8... I would actually prefer Webby... imo he offers more to the team... Turner seems very slow lately.. Webby has show a bit of pace... Webby is bigger/stronger and provides great cover for the tiring forwards.. Don't get me wrong I love Steve and would hate to see him go.

 

[kia ora storm]

Kidwell would be a big loss..he has bought a lot to the forwards.

McDougall...would be a good signing as he is versatile and can play fullback, centre or wing.

Question: how old is he and is he over all of his injuries ???.

 

[Earl]

around 30 and no he isn't over his injuries.

 

[LESStar58]

MacDougall is 31 yo

Hoffman is also testing himself on the open market apparently!

 

[girvie]

With Hill leaving i think there would be a fair amount of salary cap open to new players.

I wonder if there will be any young players signed.

 

[UndertakerMike]

I doubt he will remain a Stormer. :|

The Storm have a kid by the name of Joel Thompson on a scholarship. He is a second rower, currently at Red Bend College in Forbes. He has been on a scholarship for two years. He is in the Country NSW Under 18 team. He will be an Australian schoolboy at the end of the Year.

Let me say Joel is SENSATIONAL.
The bloke the Storm should put on a long term contract is Peter Sullivan..He is the Best SPOTTER of talent in the NRL

Agree...give Sullivan a medal for spotting the GOLD we have now...

piss off you.

 

[Captian_Klutz]

And he is not a Queenslander.

 

[Palms]

I think Mad Dog would be ok for you guys although I wouldn't sign him for any longer than a year with year option..

Can someone tell me how strong these rumours are about Steve Turner and the Tigers? I rate our centres in Phats and Collis, would Turner come over as a winger?

 

[shadow grinder]

Havent heard rumorus about him going to the tigers...only heard rumorus of him heading to the titans.

If tigers were to sign him then winger would msot likely be where they would sign him for.

 

[The_Savage_1]

[shadow grinder]

Matt Geyer
Antonio Kaufusi
Chris Walker
Steve Turner
Jake Webster
