storm sign Todd Lowrie from parra

[Kells]

just read that:

"Like Robson, hooker Kevin Kingston is unsure where he will be playing next season, while lock Todd Lowrie is headed to Melbourne and second-rower Joe Galuvao has signed with Manly"

http://www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews/eels-exodus-on-cards/2009/10/01/1253989999281.html

not sure for how many yrs but the parra lock who is 26, 185cm, 95kg and can play second row is comin to the storm next yr.

havent seen much of him - any1 know if he's any good? im assuming he is a depth 2nd row signing/back up for dallas johnson

this link says its not officially signed but looks like its basically a done deal for 2 yrs, just waitin till after the gf

i guess he may be another bench option - and i guess we can afford him as no1 wanted him so he's on small money and we are making room in the cap with lima off to the tigers

 

[kia ora storm]

A good reliable player...will add really good depth to the bench.

He will play a lot of first grade with Storm if he has been signed.

 

[Kells]

thanks for the info

can u compare him 2 any1 else as i havent seen much of him play (ie. he's like DJ or ?)

You will have a nice forward rotation next year:

White
Smith
Blair
Manu
Hoffman
Johnson

Hinchcliffe
Lowrie
Tolman
Anderson/Fanene

Reserves: K Proctor, L Miller, B Rogers, F Makimare, J Bromwich, P Vaituutuu,

I guess that means Storm are not keeping Cahill or Koopu?

 

[Kells]

koopu is retiring and cahill is staying - but u forgot to mention john kite and vea for bench players for next yr!

really excited about kite! he looks awesome!

Forgot Tandy as well, he is in great form at the moment.

[Noa]

Lima wont be here and Id have Proctor in the top 17 next year.

I reckon he's going to break out.

 

[1999]

lima said himself hes got 2 more years and hes not going anywhere???? where r u getting ur info from?

 

[Kells]

trust him, hes right -lima off to the tigers after the gf

 

[shear_joy9]

lowrie is dallas johnson with less ability

strange signing. Maybe they are tired of d.j playing with concussion?

 

[broncos_warriors_storm]

i am glad we have signed todd! we have a good amount of depth in our pack now and our backs are sorted out! duffie wil play FG next year, Quinn will probz play out of his skin and i hope Nielson continues his form!

GO THE STORM!

i dont see duffie in there lol, and i think Isa wont make the top 25, he just isnt good enough IMO! BUT craig bellamy works in strange ways!

My friends and family regularly get together and watch the footy and every time we seem him hit the ball up we all joke "hes gonna gets smashed" and it never fails:lol:

I guess as just a backup he is OK. In general though if you get that desperate i almost think you would be better blooding a young player.

Before anyone says anything yes i am being overly harsh like usual;-)

 

[Jeremy_hindmarsh]

THATS WHY HE KICKED THAT f**kIN BALL! HAHAH

 

[Ridders]

If you can't beat them, join them.

 

[jacksplatt11]

Strange signing it seems, but if he's cheap he will be a good backup

Of late he has improved and under bellamy should be an excellent player.

Lowrie? Really. Mate, it'll be interesting at pre-season training!
