Addo Carr signs with Storm...

[westTAHger]

If joins Storm for 2017, the sun will still come up the next day.
Both Leichhardt Oval and Campbelltown, won't be sucked into a void and never seen again. :wink:
Him moving on could open the door for a another winger, who might end up being better all round, who may even be a over 80 % high goal kicker as well. 😛ray:

WHY THE HELL DO WE BORTHER to sign these players without giving them a go , he played well in his only game and he can find the line forget about his defence it will come just as it has for koro, we need speed not a cart horse like rankin. iam getting sick of this crap.

 

[tigermac88]

The sky is not going to fall in guys if he goes, at the end of the day he's just a winger. I think there are other positions that we need to strengthen before we get concerned about losing a winger. Remember we've made some pretty handy signings this year in Grant and ET that I think far outweigh losing JAC, we can't keep everybody.

Most fans are sick of the CAP.

Did anyone actually watch JAC's game ??

Ok , he has speed but 95% of the time he got absolutely dominated when he touched the ball

He needs at least another 12 months development and a big pre season in the gym

The one thing we can't keep relying on is potential , we need blokes NOW with experience and hard headed mindsets

I have been beating the same drum for years, that is why the signing of Grant early this season and the signing of ET a couple of days ago was so good for this club. They are proven first graders, not potential fist graders and if ET turns out as good as Grant and I am sure he will we are on a winner

Im doubting if u watched it Happy. Josh was strong with every carry. Its what surprised me most about his debut. Not sure when he got dominated.

He may be 'just' a winger, but how many wingers do we have contracted for next season? Nofo.

Anyone else? Nope. Rankin as a makeshift but he's better suited elsewhere. Hunt? Is he a winger or a fullback? Is he any more than a rserve grade player?

Fact is we need 2 wingers for next season and currently only have one. We will need to pay this 2nd winger something, so whatever we are planning to pay him we might as well give to JAC.

As i said before, in a team full of solid but unspectacular players you need some match winners. He could be one of ours, along with Teddy, and to lose him over 120k would be ridiculous. If the Storm were paying him 250k then that's a lot more money but 120 is only a bit above minimum wage…

Tim Simona just signed an extension - He's a Winger…..

Nobody knows how much he's been offered or what promises Storm have made him, in fact nothing official to say he's even signed. How do you know we don't have any plans in place to replace his loss?? Would you rather we kept JAC and not sign the likes of Grant and Elijah Taylor?? I know which signings I'd prefer…. And you say we have no wingers signed for next year, we got 2 wingers playing first grade now that have been doing the job for us and I'm sure there are wingers in reserve grade and NYC each week surely we don't take the field in those 2 grades minus wingers.

Unbelievable the Storm seeing talent in JAC but not Milone…!

Strange isn't it , that a club has no problem in seeing value in players, that aren't appreciated at other clubs.
Koribete was no good according to a lot of posters here, but Is very good with the storm. Now if this is true, in another season or two, we may see two fast Fijians on the wings for Storm.
I know, we can't keep them all, but it'd be nice if we could keep a few more of the good ones

Calm down,
1: Koroibete is in a much better team down there than he would have been if he stayed with us. I've seen him still make some terrible, terrible blunders down there.
2: Dunno what you're getting at - But if this is true, We have more chance of seeing a fast Fijian and a faster (Maybe) Aboriginal at the storm.

I'd be very surprised if Josh is Fijian…

Calm down from what ????

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Melbourne must laugh at how stupid we are.
First Koro, now JAC…
Inexcusable, especially when Addo-Carr has said how big a Tigers fan he is and how much he loves being at the club.
Hopefully we can get Koroibete or Vunivalu off them.

Why don't we just play in the NSW cup and be a feeder club for the Storm :laughing:

 

[jirskyr]

Why do people go off half-cocked before anything official has even been announced?

Surely you don't see Rankin as a full time winger, god help us help us if he's the second best winger in the club, as a fill in he may get bye.
Then again if ADO goes he may well be second best.

I never said I see him as a full time winger all I stated was he's been doing the job for us on the wing, my point is JAC will not be a massive loss in the scheme of things… Let's be fair dinkum he's not Semi Radradra or Corey Oates. Like I said we don't know he's officially signed so why get upset about something that hasn't happened yet

Every time he took a hit up be got picked up and dominated KS , no quick play the balls , rarely landed face down , cmon mate , it was the first thing I noticed

You realize we are talking about JAC not Josh Aloiai

You old blokes just don't remember anything anymore :wink:

He's too slow for a first grade winger.,, possibly OK as one of the halves but you'll win Lotto before Taylor will move one of the Koalas. Ado has speed , the number one asset for a winger, and we don't have much of that in the club.wouldnt it be better for the coaching staff to work with him to improve any problems, instead of searching for a replacement winger, probably at more money than he would want, he needs more time before anyone knows what he will be. Either way Rankin is not the answer for next year as winger

No use having wingers if you don't have centres to create chances for them

 

[Nelson]

Because they enjoy constantly bemoaning the club and so it suits their purposes to believe that this is true..if they waited and it turned out not to be true then they would have missed an opportunity to whinge about the club, which would make them sad :unamused:

Same can be said the other way around.
No good having centres if you don't have a quality winger outside him.
