At least is isn't the dogs, that would hurt more.
On the positive side, the Dogs have showed that a collective effort mentally is just as effective. So it's on Benji to get that effort out of the group.
We all knew he was gone as soon as we knew he wanted to test the market and the club must have known the same. We are a joke and if we weren't so shit all the time, we'd have some hope of building. I have no faith we will replace Stef with anything close
Yeah the guys photoshopped it and pasted it on Facebook.
Gota look out for things like whether it gets beyond a fan page on Facebook.
The jersey the player is wearing. (If it was breaking news, nine would use a recent photo not one from 3 years back)
Anyway, we have our own Bizza that Benji is trying to Develop sooo…

Anything close to him wouldn't need to be much, he is a soft cock. If the storm have paid him 900,000 they are dumb.
We should be looking at Tui Kamikamica.
Stef is effectively going to take his spot.
On the older side of the ledger being 31 mid next season but has a 97% tackle efficiency, experience and doesn’t get bent back at all when hitting the ball up.
Off contract from Nov 1 this year, most likely severely underpaid at the Storm where as we could offer half Stefs salary to him and still get twice the value for a couple of years until our young props come of age.

Interesting he rejected 5 x $800k from us for 3x $900k for them. Kind of reinforces his comments about playing in a successful team, rather than just the money. Biggest issue appears to be how he will settle in and survive away from family in Melbourne.

His problem. No doubt the Storm have a good PR system to show Melbourne good sides. A flight to Sydney doesn't cost much if he misses family every so often.

He is also betting on himself… more money is likely coming into the game ..so if he has success he can sign a bigger deal the next time

mate… be careful if you get emails or phone calls from “the bank” asking for your account specifics or to send them Bunnings gift cards
Well we need to hear from Richo today , he needs to explain what the hell is going on , under his watch papa was let go , now Bateman walks and stepho is going next year .
YET not a word about how he is going to fill these spots , POLE is next to go on November.
If Richo and benji think that kids will fill these spots there dreaming , and if that’s the case , both should resign NOW , what a horrible club we have to support .

Yes Stef , Papi , Bateman if no return , That’s $ 800 + $ 750 + $ 700 k
total $ 2.25 million , we need to be very smart with this cash
Klem does his job and is now the experienced one , along with Pole that’s solid , we now need to replace these others in position for
$ 600 , $ 500 $ 500 k. This would allow for a solid centre or winger at $ 600 approx ( Hunt , ? . ? ) or go Campbell Gillard etc etc

We can only pray he plays as soft for them as he does for us. Knowing how others have gone when they left though.......
What the f is wrong with this dumpster of a club that they just keep going from badderer to worserer?
Is it true or not tho?

Isn’t Arthur keen to come back to NRL coaching once he finishes his short term gig?

Correct , he wants to be in the nrl in 2025 , he would take assistant roll to stay in the game
I wouldn't mind him in the box with Benji. A bit of experience to lean on untill Arthur gets one of the new franchise gigs.
