I thought Storm had 3 feeder clubs this year, North Sydney Bears, Sunshine Coast Falcons and Brisbane Easts.
They might do,
He was talking on a particular player....
External Feeder Teams do plenty of their own Contracts...

Fitzgibbon got released for pretty substantial disciplinary reasons wasn't he
Good to have options in the most important positions.Halves are a total logjam for WTs ,and we need to free some $$ up
No room for off contract Douhi unless he wants to take a haircut to play unproven at 13...but theres no room at the Inn in the halves,and likely no market for him
Sezer also off contract,but certainly there wld be several clubs willing to pay 500k+(double what were paying him)...and thats what hes worth to Titans and Dogs who are desperate for a game managing 7...just like us for the past decade with Brooks wearing that jersey.
We cant afford that,but will be genuinely sorry to see him go..hes doing great,but weve committed our $$ elsewhere
Bud...hmmm..have no idea why we signed him at $500k + for 4 seasons.a .total kneejerk..but how he plays and performs over next fortnite will significantly determine his future either elsewhere or ....we get stuck with him.Personally I fear the worst,but hopefully he proves us wrong.With Latu and Luais signing,and Galvins unexpected rapid ascension,we just dont have room for Bud
maybe we shld get a spotters fee to sell used one owner halves?
Ironic as we didnt have any 6 mnths ago!
Lomax on 800k is aYes for me.
Agreed, players are going to get injured or suspended, it’s good to have back ups. We didn’t last year and look were it got us. We are in no hurry to offload halves, $500,000 is not as much as it was 5 years ago, probably around $350 on the cap in comparison. Don’t listen to the flogs on 360, Sullivan is young and halves take a while to mature. We don’t really know how Galvins going to go, so let’s just relax.I agree that four years was an overreach. I'll tell you what else is an overreach, though: suggesting we're "f-ed" if Sullivan doesn't play well. As I've said, 500k for a half is peanuts nowadays and it takes a long time for the whole comp to give up on promising young halves. Tyson Gamble is 27, Kyle Flanagan is 25, Drew Hutchison is 28 - all still in or close to first grade despite never having shown much of anything.
The most likely outcome with Sullivan is that he just doesn't play much at all and therefore doesn't get a chance to enhance or reduce his perceived value by much. On this basis, if the Tigers decide he's surplus to requirements at the end of the season every club in the comp will be able to see that it's only because we have a surplus of halves. It's all but inevitable that one of them will think three years at 500k is worth a look based on his potential. Even if we have to pay some freight we'll be talking 100k or so - hardly roster crippling.
I've been hugely against some of the deals the club has given over the years - see what I've said about Nofoaluma or Bateman, for instance. But this one I just don't see hurting us very much, even if it was a misstep.
Agree..but we have too many eggs in the halves basket that needs to be proactively manged or it will cost us strength in other positionsGood to have options in the most important positions.
Remember last year when we had no one.
I like this problem much better
That's exactly why he would be a perfect fit for Parra. They are a team full of only individual focused players.Unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't be touching lomax. We don't want someone who isn't team focused. With this release, it sounds like it's all about him.
Yeah he’s good, but not 800k. It’s all about the contract $ and years. Maybe 500 for 2 with an option.I would sign Lomax, but not on $800.000, I should have said that.
Imo a kicker of his calibre is worth an extra 100k a year. Probably the reason his last contract was so highI just cant see him going there... Part of his allure / $$ is his goal kicking which Para dont need. In addition, they have just unearth a new kid and only place for him is centre.
The 2025 pre season begins in 7 months...Lot of people making a lot of calls after four rounds of football. Would imagine the people who count would not be thinking any further than round 5. The halves situation will be sorted when it needs to be sorted and that’s not now.
Like everything in the NRL things can change in a flash, but Sullivan will not be moved on anytime soon. We have a 34 year old 7, a kid playing 6 and Latu Fainu with hammy issues and yet to play NRL. We need quality depth and Sullivan provides that. 2025 is light years away
I can see him ending up there, and from what i read that Kid is a longterm fullback once gutho goes, so perhaps lomax would be an upgrade on simonssonI just cant see him going there... Part of his allure / $$ is his goal kicking which Para dont need. In addition, they have just unearth a new kid and the only place for him is to play is centre.
I don’t see that being on the cards.NAS would be great if we could replace Klemmer with him
Klem was great against Parra, NAS hasn't even been fit enough for nsw cup yet this season. He came back from off season at like 125kgs, will be interesting to see how he goes against the magpiesNAS would be great if we could replace Klemmer with him
