Addo-Carr told to look elsewhere for 2027.

going to ruffle some feathers, but I would be signing him in a heartbeat.

Who are our current wingers?

the good thing with Melbourne is that Stefano is waiting to see what Harry does and who the coach will be before he makes a call on whether he stays down there.

that time stalling gives us a clear run to sort Fonua out while Melbourne are tied up.

that's not to say that Fonua wouldn't have other suitors, mind you. Canberra has apparently thrown their hat in the ring and I'm sure there's others that would be looking into it. he's probably 18-24 months away from entering his prime.

question is value. I'd probably offer $700k + a ratchet, $750k at a stretch. anyone think differently?

You know there are about 15 other clubs that could sign him? Not sure why everyone is fixated on just the Storm.

I think $700k + ratchet for Pole is very fair and reasonable. It's definitely his upside (coupled with his 2nd half of the 2026 season) that gets it around the 700 mark imo.

Definitely worth the consideration for his experience, speed, x-factor & leadership. Will come down to $$$ imo ... $350k max.

It would be good to recruit some indigenous lads too - maybe both JAC & Fogarty. Good support with culture for Ethan & Bula's aboriginal heritage.
