The Rumours Thread

Jaysus, that's some pack they have now. Does he play tomorrow night ? Just our luck eh, DWZ, Townsend and now this and AFB is back and due to regain some form.

He cant was not named on their Team Tuesday list

 

[Jeremy Dragon]

Very interesting news just come out stating that Anthony Milford has been released effective immediately by Brisbane

This is a suprise and I would think that he has been released to join another club this yr

I pray that it is not us lol

Misleading headline, story just states that he won't be offered a contract next year.

How come you basically never hear of players signing with the storm until they've signed them. They just eye off a player and ink them just as fast.

Clubs with weaker systems have to wrestle for every last morsel that comes on the market.

You know the answer to that question.
The Storm are the best club in the competition by a mile. They have been consistently at the top for two decades.
If you sign with the Storm you play with the best and you win comps.
If offered a contract you’d consider it for about 3 minutes then pack your bags.
That’s why.

And you get to live in Melbourne whoopee. Sth Coast far better I'd imagine but I live on Nth Coast NSW.

Pass from me, I don’t think he’d fit our culture. He’s a good player on his day but he’s very inconsistent & that’s not what we are looking for

Real test case will be Hynes when he goes to Sharks. Played well last night but there was something ponderous about him that perhaps is being covered up by being in this team. Being very hard on him i know but always think of Nelson who even played SOO whilst at Melbourne but when he came to us was reserve grade standard.

Hook and DeBelin will get him firing. A backrow of JDB, TPJ and Sims is pretty solid. With the winner of Ford and Burns to take Sims spot when he retires.

If you were a smart player, with a competitive nature. Would you put your feelers out and jump at the chance to play for a team that hasn't won anything for years? Or would you wait as long as possible for a team that has won something recently, and jump at the chance to play for them?

If I were a Dragons supporting rugby league player, and both the Storm and the Dragons came in for me, I know where I would be going as a competitive Rugby League professional

I agree, I think TPJ is probably worth the risk. The only change I would make is that I would have Fui ahead of Ford or Burns. I think Fui has a lot of development left in him.

1 Fui, 2 Burns, 3 Ford, I don't know where Kerr plays next season.

Send Kerr back to QLD. Would the broncs be interested in a trade. Lodge gone now too

I suppose that the best thing about living in Melbourne is that you are only a hop-step and boat ride from good old Tassie .

Melbourne's a pretty excellent city and if you're under thirty it's the best in Australia.

He who hesitates misses out in the case if TPJ
No string clubs need him

That’s because he’s been at the Warriors for a couple of years before they offloaded him
That was enough to reduce form but then coming to Mc85.. career ending stuff

 

[boardlumps62]

We won't get him Dogs or Storm
