They seem to be throwing darts at all high profile off contract players. Will be very interesting what they end up with!

Would need significant development but you never know.

If that's how he defines education, that would explain why he finds his job so hard.

I believe he played fullback for QLD's under 19's team, but I think he'll be an excellent 5/8
Unsure if we're looking at him, however Luai and Cleary seem to be the combination for another decade so definitely gettable

Would you mind answering the first question? If it’s not too much trouble and won’t harm your baby bum hands of course…

We aren't going to attract an elite prop.
If we are serious we should retain him, sounds like he isn't asking a huge amount anyway and it's close to market value based on what the POM said. If we structure his deal we can write chunks off this and next year where we have cap space for when it matters most 2024 & beyond.
We shouldn't underestimate that his form in a team getting thumped with zero support has been basically the only positive this year. He has been consistent high performer as well which we couldn't say about anyone else in the side.
If we want young kids to learn off some quality experienced heads, we could do a heck of a load worse than Joe.

Not mention the clear energy and positive vibe he brings. Really poor if we let him go. He should be in the mix for vice captain next year.

Fully agree. We must keep the good players and let the poor go.
Don't know what more someone would need to do for an extension to be warranted, maybe something else is happening we don't know about.

The Storm are locked in a battle to retain Kiwi superstar Brandon Smith in 2023 - but may have found another New Zealander to replace him.
Stanley Iongi, an 18-year-old from Auckland, is rated one of the best young hooker/dummy halves in New Zealand.
Yes really difficult to recruit fair or unfair this "toxic" image is weighing us down .Tim Benji Robbie and co need to address this pointing out that action taken has made us now a happy harmonious club

don't be surprised if he winds up at the dogs with Ciraldo.

It kills me this year.....how management have given away our best players and expects the members to keep paying full freight on tickets/memberships etc where they are actively not putting out their best team, but seem to go out of their way to make other teams better....
That and the fact they don't stop the clock while the bunker tries to make a decision whether to have a look at a try or not.

No idea but didn’t know you were a folk music guy Stevec. It was a bit too alternative for me and whilst I’ve been there , it was very infrequent.

Agree with the caveat can see the club is investing heavily in the crop of juniors. Next year looks like another year saving for them.
